"Dominion of Darkness” is a strategy text-based game in which the player takes on the role of a Sauron-style Lord of Darkness with the goal of conquering the world. He will carry out his plans by making various decisions. He will build his army and send it into battles, weave intrigues and deceptions, create secret spy networks and sectarian cults, recruit agents and commanders, corrupt representatives of Free Peoples and sow discord among them, collect magical artifacts and perform sinister plots. Note – one game takes about 1 hour, but the premise is that the game can be approached several times, each time making different decisions, getting different results and discovering something new. Stable version of the game is avalaible for free here: https://adeptus7.itch.io/dominion

And here are some reviews:

As I mentioned, I’m still developing the game and adding new elements… And this means the risk of new bugs. The game contains so many options that I am not able to test everything on an ongoing basis (and errors often appear in very specific situations, such as "the game crashes if at this exact moment the Influence among the orcs is exactly 3 and the Armaments is exactly 4 "), hence I am looking for help. Participating in the tests is not difficult or demanding - all the tester needs to do is play at least once and then send me his/her opinion and information about any errors by e-mail. If you are interested (I know there probably won’t be anyone, but I am trying), please send me a private message or mail me on [email protected] .

Regards

PS. IMPORTANT!

I heard that itch version sometimes doesn’t work on the phones with Android. If it is the case, You can play downloadable version: https://www.mediafire.com/file/4zds96slas3uw31/Dominion_of_Darkness_2.55.html/file . It works fine even when online version don’t.

    This looks really cool! I have some time at the weekend so it looks like I’ll be playing some Dominion of Darkness

    Have you come across Pirate Software on twitch / YouTube? He livestreams his own game development, the community is very wholesome

    I had a quick play of this - I lost after about 25 minutes - my fortress was overrun by Serpentmen. Anyway, just wanted to say it’s really well written and nicely illustrated, and I enjoyed the gameplay loop. It’s a really interesting game. I’m not sure on my free time/availability for testing, but if it is literally “do a playthrough and let me know if anything was broken”, I could fit that in somewhere :)
