    Roman Hotline Miami!
    Great idea and implementation, beautiful graphics, captivating gameplay and chic music, just like in Hotline Miyami!
    I recommend!

    Its a solid strong simluation which is really easy to learn but hard to master and I realy like it. Thing is, most people hate the lack of a save function, but give it a chance: its only 2 hours playtime:

    What you do: you are the "manager" of a ludus, the place where gladiators are trained. you have only one year time to prepare for the big final fights, to be accepted for them you have to beat several heroes called champions.

    the tough thing is the multiple micro management and the handling of the ressources - like in all sims.

    It has a great soundtrack, does never lag or crash, the fights are always exciting - and yes you can control a fighter as soon as you have learned it.

    A hard rougle like simulation game with more depth as it looks like in the first second!

    Worth it if you like indie games ;)

    here you find my first look at the game in German:

    Fun little game to play now and then. I think that the game lacks much but I also like the simple concept.

    As 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..    … Expand

    Game is great, sadly getting review bombed by crybabies that piss and sh*t themselves. The odeur of poop won't go away, but they'll keep review bombing this game.

    This game gets 10 points of 10 just because of their last patch notes. This was my fastest purchase I have ever made.

    11/10 would buy and play again
    UPDATE: GAME CHANGED NAME (you can do that with game names, not with your gender)
    the dev is based and makes trennies seethe and dial8 no stop
    game is fun and updated often
    all the people who review bombed this will never be a woman, at best you will look like that keffals abomination

    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.

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