Indie developer Sander Frenken has exciting news for strategy game enthusiasts: his latest project, Battledom, has entered Alpha testing. As a spiritual successor to his 2020 hit, Herodom, Frenken has poured about two years into crafting this new RTS-lite experience. Fans of real-time strategy games will find much to love in Battledom, which offers a dynamic battlefield where you can maneuver units freely and engage enemies with powerful siege weapons.
In Battledom, players will immerse themselves in strategic combat, utilizing various formations to outsmart opponents. Coins are your currency to recruit new units, starting with basic weapons and no armor. However, customization is key—you can enhance your units by outfitting them with different weapons and armor. These items directly impact your units' stats, such as range, accuracy, defense points, and attack power, allowing you to tailor your army to your preferred strategy.
Resource management is crucial in Battledom. Instead of scavenging for equipment, you'll gather essential materials like wood, leather, and coal within your village. Crafting these resources into weapons and armor involves visiting specialized crafters such as blacksmiths and magicians, ensuring you have the gear necessary to triumph in battle.
Sander Frenken's previous game, Herodom, has earned a stellar 4.6 rating on the App Store, showcasing over 55 heroes and 150 units and siege weapons. Players of Herodom engage in historically inspired battles and unlock various customization options for their characters and farms as they progress.
To get a taste of Battledom, you can join the Alpha testing by downloading TestFlight on your iOS device. Stay updated with the latest developments by following Sander Frenken on X or Reddit, and explore his other games available on the App Store.
