Battledom: Alpha Testing Begins for Strategy Game Masterpiece

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

Battledom features real-time strategy combat, allowing players to freely maneuver units across the battlefield. Players directly target enemies and manually control siege weapons for devastating attacks. Strategic formations are also a key element of gameplay.

Players earn coins to recruit units, initially equipped with basic weapons and no armor. However, units can be customized with a range of weapons and armor, each impacting stats like attack power, range, accuracy, and defense.

These items aren't found through exploration; instead, they must be crafted in the player's village. Players gather resources like wood, leather, and coal, then utilize blacksmiths, magicians, and other village specialists to create items.

Frenken is renowned for Herodom, which holds a 4.6 App Store rating. Herodom offers 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 via TestFlight. For updates and news, follow Sander Frenken on X or Reddit, or explore his other games on the App Store.
