Cooked Games Announces Habet, a Roman Gladiator School Sim for PC
The pitch puts management and hands-on combat in the same loop, with battles shown from 1-on-1 up to 64-on-64, so the sim's draw is the fate of the men the player owns rather than the arena alone.

Cooked Games announced Habet, a gladiator training school simulation for PC on Steam. It is set in 73 BC in Pompeii, where the player starts with a few gold coins, buys men in the city, arms, feeds, trains, and treats their wounds, then sends them to matches. Players can watch fights or control a gladiator directly, and can reward, sell, free, or execute them.
The announcement trailer shows gladiators fighting to the death with blood spraying, and battles ranging from 1-on-1 to 64-on-64. Beyond the school management, players can step into combat and control a gladiator directly.
The men under the player's care are not a fixed roster. Habet lets the player reward a gladiator, sell them off, free them, or execute them, and that decision is the player's alone. The game is scheduled for release on Steam.
