Read full descriptionHide full description
Your neighborhood is the battlefield. Your next walk is a campaign. DWEL turns the places you visit into a fantasy strategy world. Recruit an army by spending time in real places, claim nearby territory, and build a kingdom worth defending. Discover loot, challenge rival forces, and command troops with plenty to say. CLAIM YOUR REAL-WORLD KINGDOM Make your surroundings part of your strategy. Visit locations, claim territory, and watch your kingdom grow across the map. Every new hex is another foothold—and another place to defend. STAY A WHILE. RAISE AN ARMY. Recruit Militia, Soldiers, and Elite units by dwelling in real locations. Strengthen your marching army or reinforce territory you already own. Decide where your next recruit will make the biggest difference. FIGHT FOR EVERY HEX Challenge enemy armies, defend your holdings, and take on roaming Gravewalkers. Choose your battles carefully: building a kingdom takes ambition, but keeping it takes strategy. DISCOVER LOOT ALONG THE WAY Keep an eye on the map for nearby chests and opportunities. Open loot, collect rewards, and give your next outing a new objective. AN ARMY WITH AN ATTITUDE Your troops have opinions. Most of them are unnecessary. Enjoy hundreds of voiced one-liners, playful trash talk, and unexpected jokes from friendly units, enemies, and Gravewalkers. Speech bubbles bring the battlefield to life, with optional voices you can switch on or off. LEARN AS YOU CONQUER A guided tutorial introduces recruiting, claiming territory, opening loot, and fighting battles. Track your progress, collect tutorial rewards, or skip ahead and return to the tutorial later. Your route. Your army. Your kingdom. Start your next campaign with DWEL. DWEL uses your location for real-world gameplay. Stay aware of your surroundings, respect private property, and play only where it is safe and permitted.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DWEL at none against Alien Grounds's shown. Alien Grounds's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
