by Isabella Jan 08,2025

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 popular 2020 game, Herodom. Developed over two years by the part-time developer, Battledom represents a refined vision of his original plans for Herodom.

Battledom offers flexible RTS combat mechanics. Players freely maneuver units across the battlefield, target enemies, and manually control siege weapons for devastating attacks. Strategic formations enhance gameplay and add a layer of tactical depth.

Players earn coins to recruit units, 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.

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

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-inspired battles. Progression unlocks new character customization options and farm additions.

iOS users can participate in the Battledom alpha test via TestFlight. For updates and news, follow Sander Frenken on X (formerly Twitter) or Reddit. His other App Store titles are also worth exploring.
