Battledom is an upcoming strategy game now in Alpha testing

Jan 18,2025 Author: Ellie

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 release, Herodom. Developed over approximately two years by the part-time developer, Battledom closely resembles his initial vision for Herodom, a successful tower defense game.

Battledom introduces flexible RTS battle mechanics, allowing players to freely maneuver units across the game map. Players directly target enemies and manually operate siege weapons for devastating attacks. Strategic formations are also available, adding a significant layer of tactical depth.

Players earn coins to recruit units for their armies. These units initially lack armor and possess only basic weaponry. However, players can customize their units by equipping them with a range of weapons and armor. Each piece of equipment influences unit stats such as attack power, range, accuracy, and defense.

Players gather resources like wood, leather, and coal, then utilize the blacksmith, magician, and other village crafters to create items.

Frenken is widely recognized 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 further information about Battledom, follow Sander Frenken on X or Reddit. His other games are also available on the App Store.
