Indie game developer Sander Frenken has unveiled his upcoming RTS-lite game, Battledom, currently in Alpha testing. This title serves as a spiritual successor to Frenken's 2020 hit, Herodom, and represents roughly two years of part-time development. Frenken describes Battledom as closer to his initial vision for Herodom.
Battledom offers flexible RTS-style combat. Players freely maneuver units across the battlefield, targeting enemies and manually operating siege weapons. Strategic formations enhance gameplay.
Players use in-game currency to recruit units, initially equipped with basic weapons and no armor. Customization is key; players equip units with crafted weapons and armor, influencing stats like range, accuracy, defense, and attack power.
Resource gathering is essential. Players collect wood, leather, and coal to craft items at various village workshops, including the blacksmith and magician.
Frenken's previous work, Herodom, enjoys a 4.6 App Store rating, featuring over 55 collectible heroes, 150+ units and siege weapons, and historically-themed battles. Progression unlocks new character customizations and farm additions.
iOS users can participate in the Battledom Alpha via TestFlight. For updates and further information, follow Sander Frenken on X (formerly Twitter) or Reddit, or explore his other App Store titles.
