Nexon M, the mobile division of Nexon, and Big Huge Games has teamed up to release DomiNations, a free strategy game available for iOS and Android devices.
The game follows the style of video games like Civilization, but fully adapted to mobile platforms. As usual, you will try to rise a nation from a small village in the Stone Age. Your town will develop along the timeline until reaching the Space Age.
You start with a small village in the Stone Ages, and as you advance through the history, will have to choose a nation among seven possibles: British, Romans, Chinese, Germans, French, Japanese and Greeks. This choice will determine your strengths and weakness as a nation, so think carefully before deciding which one you want to play with.
The game will challenge you to divide your attention and focus on three different aspects: exploration, conquest and development.
In addition to pay attention to research and development, you have to take care of the city defense as well as maintain an offensive army to conquer new territories. These new cities will provide you with additional resources, such as gold and food, that will can use to improve your own city.
The combats are in real time, and you can chose the target your troops will attack. When the city falls, your rewards will change depending on the buildings have destroyed and the total damage that you were able to inflict during the 3 minutes that the combat lasts.
You can join an alliance to play against players from all over the world. The alliance allows you to chat, donate troops and receive help from your allies. This multiplayer mode expand the possibilities of the single campaign, although you can perfectly play alone if you want.
You can have a look at this video to get an idea of the basic principles of the game.
The game is free but it include in-app purchases. You can either play for free or buy gems to avoid the construction time of the new buildings. You can also use these gems to obtain more resources and skip the time limits of the free game.
