    An interesting take on the management/strategic genre with a lot of potential for streaming entertainment.

    Domina frustrated me beyond belief, but in the best way. I thought I had planned a match out to perfection, got slaughtered, but loved every minute of it. I only wish there was more to the game, as restarting again at square one became a little tedious after a while. Despite that, I will still revisit it time and again for a quick fix of blood and profanity.

    Domina is so indolent that some might describe as a bad game. I don’t necessarily disagree. You might as well watch Spartacus on Starz. The graphics are probably better. The thrills of occasional action are probably more elaborate. But when it comes to RPing a lazy Roman noble who can barely be arsed to lift his arm high enough to give the wrist enough play for a dismissive flick, there’s nothing better than lolling around in the shade with Domina.

  1. It has quite a few moving parts, but each part is very simple. It really is oddly similar to one of those keep-clicking-the-numbers games, but pinned with a more meaningful structure and shallow but engagingly frantic combat.

This is a damn goodAs a fan of the theme of ancient wars, I am very pleased with every good game on this topic. And Domina was no exception. This is a damn good game. Yes, at the moment there are problems with balance and minor mistakes, but all this is so lost against the background of a simply beautifully created atmosphere that it is impossible to get angry.
    In addition, developers are working on updating and fixing the game and at the same time do not forget to pay attention to their audience, joking on Twitter, in the game itself and even changelogs. More than once, a new Easter egg made me smile, or an arrow with a note of uncultural content attached to it SUDDENLY stucks right in front of me :)
    The fights in the game are extremely fast, but it’s interesting to watch and cheer for their champions every time. Sometimes pixel warrior can really surprise when, in his dying state, he suddenly become furious, knock out all of weapons from the hands of the enemy and literally tear victory out of the clutches of the enemy with his teeth.
    ... and then he returns to ludus. Licking wounds, training, repairing battered ammunition, sharpening a gladius to shed blood again in a week to the joy of the crowd.
    As for music, a separate respect to the composer. The soundtrack just fits perfectly into the atmosphere and mood of the game. Making the melody "warm up" at the preparation stage, then during the countdown to the start, and finally, DROP - To Battle !! The melodies themselves are quite energetic and stuck in the head.
    But, when you return to Ludus, when the rumble of the crowd and the ringing of iron become left behind, they become silent, they are replaced by a calm, melancholy melody, which sometimes leads to thoughts about what the life of a gladiator is - weeks, months and years of training for that key moment there in the arena, a moment of his Exaltation. No matter to glory or to heaven, not so important. At such moments, the hand itself reaches for the mouse to treat its champion with a bottle of wine and reward a few coins for his courage and stoicism..

It seemed like a bit of squad and base building mixed with some nice visceral combat. Whilst this is true, I found the game lacking in any of the elements that make other games of the same type fun or interesting.

    You build up a squad of fighters and you can make improvements to your base but it rarely feels like it's important to the results of your fights. Sometimes you feel like you're going to be soundly beaten and then your underpowered guy manages to somehow win. In others you feel it should be a simple fight and then you get decimated. The fights are too short and messy to be able to appreciate them properly, and even worse, unlike Darkest Dungeon or XCOM (more expensive games TBF) when you actually lose a squad member or upgrade them, you rarely care as the characters are never fleshed out. If you actually try to rename them to make them more personal then the game actually punishes you with weakened morale.

    Overall a thoroughly bland and bang-average effort, albeit with pretty good music.
