Features • a classic real-time strategy or "PC RTS" like in the 1990s or early 2000s • similar titles include CnC, Total Annihilation, Age of Empires and StarCraft • some players said that it reminded them of Real War and Act of War: Direct Action • supports offline play against AI • also supports online multiplayer PvP • units include aircraft, ships and tanks • fast RTS gameplay with no long waits • selection system is designed for easy use on mobile Mechanics • objectives include capture the flag, destroy all enemies, and be the first to get enough money, • transport units across the map by air or water, • stealth units don't notify the other player while attacking, • towers are the defensive buildings, • special units can attack from a distance, without exposing themselves nBase was designed to be like old school RTS titles that were fast paced and actually required strategic thinking to beat an opponent. Here, mindlessly spamming units doesn't work. You need to actually manage your resources, strategically plan your buildings, and have a dedicated attack plan to conquer your opponent's base, while not sacrificing your base's defense.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Battledom holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Battledom has 164 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Battledom's written reviews are positive against 100% of nBase's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Battledom ships an update every 10 days, nBase every 11 days. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
