Battledom Alpha: Strategy Game Emerges

Indie game developer Sander Frenken has revealed that his upcoming strategy game, Battledom, is currently undergoing alpha testing. This RTS-lite title serves as a spiritual successor to Frenken's 2020 hit, Herodom. Developed over approximately two years by the part-time developer, Battledom closely resembles Frenken's initial vision for Herodom.

Battledom features dynamic RTS combat, allowing players to freely maneuver units across the battlefield. Players directly target enemies and manually operate siege weapons for devastating attacks. Strategic formations enhance the gameplay experience.

Players use coins to recruit units, initially equipped with only basic weapons and no armor. However, extensive customization is available. Players can equip units with various weapons and armor pieces, each impacting stats like range, accuracy, defense, and attack power.

These items aren't found through exploration; instead, they're crafted within the player's village. Players gather resources like wood, leather, and coal, then utilize the blacksmith, magician, and other village crafters to create the necessary equipment.

Frenken is renowned for Herodom, which holds a 4.6 App Store rating. Herodom features over 55 collectible heroes, 150+ units and siege weapons, and historically inspired battles. Progression unlocks new hairstyles, body types, crops, and farm animals.

iOS users can participate in the Battledom alpha test by downloading TestFlight. For updates and news, follow Sander Frenken on X or Reddit. Additional games by Frenken are available on the App Store.
