Battledom is an upcoming strategy game now in Alpha testing

By MiaMar 05,2025

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 his 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 dynamic RTS combat. Players freely maneuver units across the battlefield, targeting enemies and manually operating siege weapons. Strategic formations enhance gameplay.

Players build their armies using in-game currency, starting with basic, unequipped units. Customization is key, allowing players to equip units with various weapons and armor, impacting stats like range, accuracy, defense, and attack power.

Quarry with stones in buckets and an elevator lifting a bucket of stoneResource gathering is essential. Players collect materials like wood, leather, and coal within their village to craft equipment at the blacksmith, magician, and other specialized workshops.

Frenken's Herodom enjoys a 4.6 App Store rating, featuring 55+ collectible heroes, 150+ units and siege weapons, and historically-inspired battles. Progression unlocks new character customization options and farm additions.

iOS users can participate in the Battledom Alpha via TestFlight. For updates and further information, follow Sander Frenken on X or Reddit, or explore his other App Store titles.
