Battledom Alpha Test: Strategy Epic Unveiled

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 introduces flexible RTS battle mechanics, enabling players to freely maneuver units across the game map. Players directly target enemies and manually control siege weapons for devastating attacks. Strategic formations enhance the gameplay experience.

Players use in-game currency to recruit units, initially equipped with basic weapons and no armor. However, extensive customization options allow players to equip units with various weapons and armor pieces, impacting stats such as range, accuracy, defense, and attack power.

Resource gathering is key. Players must collect resources like wood, leather, and coal within their village to craft these upgrades at the blacksmith, magician, or other specialized crafters.

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

iOS users can participate in the Battledom alpha test via TestFlight. For further details and updates, follow Sander Frenken on X or Reddit. His other App Store games are also worth exploring.
