Indie game developer Sander Frenken has unveiled the alpha testing phase for his upcoming title, Battledom. This RTS-lite game serves as a spiritual successor to his 2020 hit, Herodom, and represents roughly two years of part-time development. Frenken describes Battledom as a closer realization of his original vision for Herodom.
Battledom introduces dynamic RTS combat mechanics. Players command units across the battlefield, manually aiming and firing siege weapons. Strategic formations enhance gameplay, adding a layer of tactical depth.
Units are created using in-game currency, initially equipped with basic weapons and no armor. Customization is key; players equip units with various weapons and armor pieces, influencing stats like range, accuracy, defense, and attack power.
Resource gathering and crafting are central to Battledom. Players collect resources such as wood, leather, and coal within their village to craft items at the blacksmith, magician, or other specialized crafters.
Frenken's previous success, Herodom, enjoys a 4.6 App Store rating. This tower defense game features 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 test via TestFlight. For updates and further information, follow Sander Frenken on X (formerly Twitter) or Reddit. His other games are available on the App Store.
