AI Battles with a zest of Roman Mythology

The problem RuinsOfRome solves

Traditional Web3 games often lack emotional connection, strategic depth, or meaningful progression. Many focus purely on NFTs and tokenomics, leaving players disengaged after initial hype. At the same time, modern gamers crave dynamic, skill-based experiences and evolving characters they can bond with.

Gladiators of the Colosseum addresses this gap by fusing AI-driven gameplay with on-chain identity and mythological narrative. It transforms static NFTs into living AI gladiators with unique names, skill sets, and personalities, giving users a reason to return, train, and grow.

By introducing PvP and PvE battles, divine favor mechanics, and a compelling XP system, the game builds long-term player engagement. It turns battles into strategic showdowns, making each win feel earned — not bought.

In short, it solves the problem of shallow Web3 entertainment by delivering emotionally compelling, technically rich, and strategically rewarding gameplay that’s tailor-made for the next generation of consumer gaming.

Challenges I ran into

AI-Blockchain Sync: One of the toughest challenges was integrating off-chain AI computation with on-chain data. Balancing gas costs while ensuring real-time strategy and uniqueness required hybrid solutions.

Uniqueness of Gladiators: Making each gladiator feel distinct based on name, stats, and AI behavior meant creating a deterministic but scalable generation process that still felt personal.

Real-Time PvP Mechanics: Ensuring smooth PvP duels in a decentralized setting is hard. We needed to simulate responsive gameplay while handling backend computations securely and quickly.

Design Consistency: Merging Roman mythology with futuristic AI visuals without breaking immersion required iterative design thinking.

User Onboarding: Ensuring seamless wallet connection and first-time user experience while keeping the interface intuitive took several UX revisions.
