About This Game Battles of Norghan is a unique gladiatorial management and strategy game where you not only must recruit, train, and equip fantasy gladiators, but also control them on a tactical grid in turn-based combat as your team fights their way to the top division. This game has a lot of depth and replayability. Imagine a football manager game with fantasy world creatures such as orcs, drakes and minotaurs and turn-based strategy battles instead of football matches. Recruit mercenaries from 22 different fantasy races and classes and manage dozens of fighters as they battle in a variety of different terrains against easy to highly intelligent AI or other player-controlled clans. Train and hone each fighter’s skill through monthly training as well as directly in combat. Build secondary skills such as dodging, shield blocking and dual wielding as well as attributes such as strength, intelligence, hit points, and magic points. There are 200 items and 42 spells available to equip your gladiators, including armors, bows, weapons, magical staves, and more! As each combatant grows with your clan they will age as well and eventually retire. Careful planning and management of your clan can ensure you never have an off season. Original release dates outside Steam: V.1.0 in August 2005.

I've played it off and on for most of a decade and have far more hours into it than my Steam profile indicates. Even for when it was originally released over ten years ago, the graphics and interface were already "retro," so in a way it's kind of timeless. However, the graphics may be off-putting to some, and the UI requires a lot of getting used to. If you have the patience to get past those hindrances and the likely frustration of your first couple forays into the tournaments, you will be rewarded with what in my opinion is the best fantasy gladiator management simulation ever made. Yeah, I know . . . that isn't saying much. The fantasy gladiator management sim genre is not well represented, much to my frustration, which is why this is a niche game.The gameplay is essentially turn-based tactical combat with RPG elements. Each of your gladiators is its own character with skills that improve with training and use. Between battles you can spend money to train them individually or as a group and also upgrade their equipment. This would be greatly improved if there were an actual market with random equipment as opposed to just a static list, but it still works. What really sets this one apart is its league rankings and tournament structure, which works like a real sports sim. At the beginning of each season a multitude of fighters become available for contract, and you and the opposing teams bid on them. It can actually be overwhelming at first, not knowing what type of fighter might work best and how much to spend. The game also keeps track of a multitude of stats, which is awesome, except that it also brings me to the one part of Battles of Norghan I have always hated. There should not be a "Gold" version. It is just the same game only with a couple more options between battles and some more detailed statistics. Obviously, these statistics are already tracked, and the options are programmed into the base game. In my opinion, Mitorah Games should be ashamed of charging its customers a full 50% extra just to access these features that should just have been included in the base game already. It's a somewhat disgusting move for a developer, designed merely to milk more money out of those who already like and support your product, and I honestly can hardly believe they have stuck to it even after finally getting the game published on Steam.Still, despite that, I stand behind my support of this game, with hope that its niche eventually gets filled with new and even better titles.. Battles of Norghan is a hidden diamond in the rough. Team-sports-manager sim meets classic RPG; this game shines as a beacon of hope for gamers wanting deep immersion and old-school, brutaly honest gameplay without necessarily needing the best graphics. You won't like this game if you've never read a rulebook. You won't like it if you're used to adrenaline fueled, instant reward gameplay - and you definitely won't like it if you crave compensation for your in-game achievements. Battles of Norghan spits on your homebrew team's struggle and fortitude while setting you up, match after match, with intricately diverse AI team composition dynamics that test whatever creativity and nuance that you thought you might have cultivated. This is a game that values ultimate strategic thinking and crucial turn based reasoning to adequately combat the vastness of it's scope. You can recruit a bunch of scrubs that empirically might work (the classic warrior, mage, archer, priest) only to be butchered by a solo dwarf who has elite training and equipment. Or your minotaur duo could tear through all the expensive ogres, giants, witches and wizards that are going into combat next-to-naked due to their upkeep fees. Sure a druid *sounds* like a good idea, but after they've run out of mana summoning bear and wolf fodder, what good are they with their staves and likely poor armour, once the enemy lizard-men have slaughtered all your 'knights' and 'cool summons'?An Indie game with a heart of gold - with the publisher\/dev still answering questions and active in the community.Thank you, Mitorah Games!. Great sim, I sunk a few dozen hours into BoN before it was on Steam.. Great sim, I sunk a few dozen hours into BoN before it was on Steam.. A solid game, I really like it. You manage a team of gladiators that you control in tactical turn based battles. You win money with these, and have to decide how to invest it: training, equipment, new team members.Graphics is a bit outdated, but the game concept is great. Many hours of fun for a good price.
