Welcome to LUDUS — a real-time PvP strategy game with tactical duels.
Fight other players in fast arena battles where victory depends on smart decisions, good positioning, and strategic merging. The game is easy to learn, yet hard to master for players who enjoy learning mechanics and improving their strategy.
In battle, you merge units to make them stronger, use hero abilities, and react to your opponent’s moves. LUDUS blends multiple genres into one experience: auto-chess style merge gameplay, RPG-style hero collection and progression that lets you build and test different team strategies.
PvP is at the core of LUDUS, but there’s always more to do. Play solo events and tournaments, earn rewards, and upgrade your heroes, or join a clan to take part in cooperative activities, such as clan competitions, where you share a goal that rewards teamwork and planning.
Why play LUDUS:
• Genre mix gameplay — tactical PvP strategy with merge mechanics, RPG progression, auto-chess elements, and hero collection.
• 100+ heroes — each with unique abilities and roles, allowing endless team combinations and playstyles.
• Global leaderboard — compete with players worldwide and climb the ranks.
• Events for everyone — solo challenges, PvP modes, and large-scale clan events.
• Deep customization — personalize your profile and stand out in the arena.
Challenge other players, create your unbeatable hero lineup, master the merge, and dominate the arena!
It’s a good game that I’ve played for a while and the developers are always actively involved. I’ve spent a reasonable amount of money on it over time but I won’t spend the amounts required to buy Legendary characters as soon as they appear like some users obviously do. I don’t have a problem with this as those who do should be competing against player of a similar levels but this is my gripe. Time and again I’m matched with players or bots 30-40% above my level and it’s obvious from the start that whatever I do I’m going to struggle. This happens not just for the odd game but sometimes for a day or days, it’s not a rare occurrence. On the other hand, I’ll have games where I’m only matched with players or bots of noticeably lower levels and it’s basically a cakewalk. Either way it takes away the fun of competing against an evenly balanced opponent and playing a game that goes down to the wire. It’s certainly no fun knowing in advance that however well or poor you play the game will be a foregone conclusion. Surly it’s possible to balance the game up better, maybe to within + -10% even if it is by using bots at times? It’s an issue that seems to have got worse over time and as such I’m now not playing it as much as I was.

Hello, thank you for the feedback! Matchmaking is primarily based on your rating so the might bonus difference is acceptable for players especially in higher leagues.
This game was fantastic up until I reached league

I have been SO addicted to this game. Never spend money on mobile games but even got the £1.99 merge royal deal, that’s all I’ve spent money on, I’ve got the legendary cards via saving up from tournaments and summons . Been absolutely loving the tournament too. However…..I’ve recently reached league 1. Even though I’ve been playing regularly my win percentage has gone from 70s-80s down to 40s. I can go up against someone with basically the same cards at same level and even whilst all on level 1 I get destroyed, or I’m paired with someone a lot stronger. I seem to lose 10-15 games and win 1 where I go up against someone much lower. The tournament I was quite happy with sometimes being the lowest might, sometimes being the highest might, and sometimes being somewhere in the middle. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, sometimes I’m in the middle somewhere and that’s fine. I don’t know if they’re connected but since hitting league I seem to be consistently the lowest on there, the top being a good 300+ above me . I’ve got the 3 gloves and I keep rinsing all my diamonds hoping I’ll for one decent game where I’m not at the biggest disadvantage at the bottom but apparently not. If I’m occasionally second to last, I seem to get the same monster summon 5/6 summons rather than any variety. I’ve managed to hit fifth a couple of times at best but usually last. It’s like since reaching league the matching system constantly wants to put me on a major losing streak. It’s really sucking the fun out of the game where it’s no longer a win some/lose some.

Need a serious improvements

The game is genuinely fun and has a lot of potential, but the matchmaking really needs improvement. Matches often feel very unbalanced, and it affects the overall experience.The in-game hero/character randomizer is very inconsistent. In one match I can deal around 2.3k damage, and in the very next match I struggle to even reach 800 with no clear reason. This makes progression feel more luck-based than skill-based.It also starts to feel pay-to-win at times, as players who spend money seem to have a clear advantage over others. Despite these issues, the core gameplay is enjoyable and entertaining. With better matchmaking, improved balance, and fairer progression, this game could be much better. I really hope the developers focus on these improvements in future updates.

Thank you for your comment. We’re sorry to hear that the matchmaking didn’t meet your expectations. While it is designed to match by rating, we know this can occasionally lead to uneven fights. Your feedback helps us fine-tune the system and improve future experiences.
Insane pricing and Pay 2 win

Ludus is like all mobile app games for the most part. Very fun, free for a while and then your progression is completely stunted by several factors. Ludus operates a champion system that releases new champions into the pool by something called the astral system. In most cases these new hero’s are ridiculous. They benefit for stat buffs that make them the mimosa superior hero’s and the buff remain for months after release. It’s impossible to unlock these without spending actual money on passes or just buying them. All, and I mean all transactions on Ludus are expensive, and I mean very expensive. They charge for literally everything. They run 2, yes 2 battle passes per month as well as clan war passes and other things. In effect you’re looking at 4 minimum passes per month to keep up at a cost of £20 on average each. That’s £80 a month minimum. The match making systemIs terrible. You get placed with players that are substantially more powerful more often than not and there is nothing, nothing you can do about it. Meaning you end up surrendering most of the time to for 1 person you can beat. All aspects of buffing is again, pay to win. Might. Spells and perks. Bots. Omg the bots. They don’t even hide it. They fill the game with pre-made bots to enable fast match que and they are insanely powerful. Ok game and fun for a while but unless you have top tier decks both high in character level, perks and buffs you can pretty much forget about winning matches. Enjoy it for what it is , but you will get to 3600 trophies within a few weeks and find yourself quitting like most in the game.Devs will respond to all feed back with.“ thank you for you feedback, we are constantly trying to improve and balance the game” But they don’t listen to players at all , ever and just focus on new content they can charge more money for
