About

Dominex

Grow your kingdom. Break theirs at the seams. Dominex is focused, turn-based territory strategy for one player against five computer rivals. Every connected kingdom keeps its own treasury and defense. One border capture can increase your income, join two kingdoms, split a rival's economy, or expose its capital. Take your time over every move. Undo and redo until you end your turn, step away, and resume later. Dominex plays offline, and four new maps are generated on your device every day—one free, all four with Premium. Capture land for income. Combine units to cross stronger borders. Defend the territory holding your kingdom together. Stronger units cost more to maintain; if a kingdom cannot pay, it goes bankrupt. Choose your opening with the Starting land slider. Begin with scattered kingdoms or fewer, larger ones, and preview every player's exact land before starting. Larger kingdoms also start with more gold. Read your rivals' economies as well as your own. Tap any rival kingdom to inspect its gold, income, and upkeep. Review bankruptcy warnings before ending a turn, undo a purchase that leaves you short, and see why units were lost to upkeep. Master every Core map at every level. Stats counts your wins toward 16 goals across four Core maps and four difficulty levels, and tracks your win rate, streaks, and fewest-round wins from Classic starts. Finish a daily map each day to build your streak, and look back at the final board of every new match. Share a daily result to send a friend the same challenge, with its difficulty and Starting land. Friends can play shared challenges without Premium, on the web or in the iOS app. Every match stays single-player. Features • One player against five computer rivals • Casual, Normal, Veteran, and Legend difficulty—all free • Starting land choices with a live opening preview • Rival finances and clear bankruptcy warnings • Daily result sharing with playable challenge links • Stats with streaks, best wins, and final boards • Four hand-crafted Core maps • Four on-device daily maps, one free each day • Automatic saving and one-tap resume • Offline play with no account and no ads • Built-in rules reference • High-distinction board colors and cues beyond color • Touch-first controls and haptics for iPhone and iPad Start with four Core maps, one new daily map, and every difficulty level free. Dominex Premium is one lifetime purchase, not a subscription. It opens all four daily maps every day and a new picture-shaped bonus map each week, and lets you play the daily maps from any earlier day. Your results and daily history stay visible without Premium. Try the map editor for free: draw a 35 × 24 battlefield from scratch or start from a Core or classic map. Premium lets you save it and play against the same five rivals. Your next kingdom is ready.

Verdict

The call
