Gladiator Mayhem

Gladiator Mayhem is a 2v2 hero auto-battler built by Australian studio Lightning Forge Games as part of an AI-driven gaming push on Avalanche.

What is Gladiator Mayhem

Gladiator Mayhem is the debut title from Lightning Forge Games (@LFG_GTFO), a Newcastle, Australia studio founded in 2024 that blends blockchain and AI-powered gameplay. It launched as part of a partnership between Lightning Forge Games and Avalanche covering three titles, with Gladiator Mayhem first.

Gameplay

Matches are fast 2v2 battles where AI-controlled heroes — trained via deep reinforcement learning on past battles — fight on the player's behalf. An AFK-and-Earn system lets players earn rewards from AI-run tournament battles without playing every match manually. The game is playable directly on Telegram, with companion apps on Google Play and the App Store.

Economy & Assets

Gladiator Mayhem's reward token, LFG, is earned through gameplay and distributed via campaigns such as the studio's LFG Rewards play-to-airdrop program.

Team & Backing

Lightning Forge Games integrates its own AI system, Satrn.ai, into its titles and builds on Avalanche under a studio-level partnership, alongside two additional announced titles, YOLO and Grand Tactics Final Order.
