Are you the new Ben Hur? That's precisely what we shall see in the arena of the freshly heralded QVADRIGA, a game where holding that top spot is a challenge you can strategically overcome in either real-time or turn-based fashion on your way to ultimate triumph.

 

 

QVADRIGA is a tactical game of chariot racing in ancient Roman circuses, where you take control of a four horse chariot team. Choose your preferred upgrade combinations and prove your skills at the arena. Select the most cunning actions which your team could perform against the best drivers of the old world: shake reins, whip horses, choose lanes, hold tight while negotiating curves, avoid incoming attacks, block enemies path, lacerate and whip them until achieving victory.

 

 

Start an epic campaign from the most modest tracks of the empire corners, assemble a mighty team and build your fame through the provinces until reaching enough wealth to finally open the gates of Rome's greatest competition at the Circus Maximus, where you will be able to enter history and reach favour of gods.

The game puts you in control of a chariot racing team: a chariot, its driver, and its four horse team. Every element has unique characteristics, initially defined by your faction that affects their style of play, like the sturdy teams of the commoners or the swift and light teams sponsored by the priests. You could select some upgrades to specialise your team afterwards.
