Start with one colony on a lost planet. End as the power that rules the galaxy. Stellar Dominion is a space strategy game in the tradition of the classic browser space strategy games, rebuilt for your phone: deep economy, real fleets, and an empire that keeps producing while you are away. And not a single ad. BUILD YOUR EMPIRE Mines, refineries, laboratories and shipyards: shape every colony on an illustrated, cel-shaded map, balance ore, crystal and helium-3, manage your energy, and push storage further with the Wonder, the endgame project that turns surplus into power. When you come back, an absence report sums up what happened while you were away. EXPLORE AND LOOT Send expeditions into the unknown and choose their posture. Scan stellar anomalies to weigh the loot before you attack. Bring debris fields home with your recyclers. Every week, the Breach of the week offers a short branching run: combine modules into sets, search the wrecks and climb its leaderboard. The Frontier Campaign adds chapters of story missions. RESEARCH AND SPECIALISE A full tech tree, doctrines, talent trees and colony destinies such as Arsenal, Gaia or Free Zone. Two empires never look alike. The Codex, a real in-game wiki, answers your questions along the way. COMMAND YOUR FLEET Fighters, cruisers, battleships, destroyers, Leviathans and healer ships. Simulate a battle before you commit, watch it play out in animated combat, then read the full report. In the Stellar Arena, send a fleet to your Outpost and fight over 10 rocks for 24 hours at a table of 8 commanders, from the Iron league to the Master league: your homeworld is never exposed. CHOOSE YOUR FACTION Swear an oath to one of four factions: the Imperium, the Pirates, the Consortium or the Collective. Earn Renown as you play, climb six tiers, each with its own title and a Favor unique to your faction, and wear its emblem next to your name. Every Monday, your faction names a rival for the Order of the Week: one extra anomaly attack per day on its territory. Defend your home turf. PLAY TOGETHER Join an alliance, share resources, pool your ships at the Alliance Station, a meeting point every day of the week (joint raid, joint expedition, mini-boss and Monument), and face the World Boss every weekend with the whole server. SEASONS AND ACHIEVEMENTS Seasons open a parallel world where everyone starts again on equal footing, with its own leaderboards and a Season Pass: a free track for everyone and cosmetics to unlock. Your empire in the permanent world stays untouched. Achievements are worth points and feed a leaderboard of their own. MADE BY ONE DEVELOPER Free to play, no advertising, no energy meter, and gems can be earned in play. New versions every few weeks, built from player feedback on Discord. Available in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
Geometry War RTS
Read full descriptionHide full description
A whole realtime strategy game drawn in pencil and ink. Mine gold, train an army, and knock down the enemy base — the classic RTS loop, rebuilt for one hand and a phone screen. No menus full of currencies, no timers asking you to come back tomorrow. Just a map, a river, and someone on the other side trying to do to you what you are trying to do to them. BUILD Workers mine gold and put up your buildings. Barracks makes infantry and rocket soldiers, the factory makes tanks and lasers, the hangar makes aircraft. Houses raise your population, towers hold ground, and a second base near a rich mine pays for itself. FIGHT Tanks shell buildings and lob shells that splash. Rocket soldiers scatter fire over a crowd. Lasers charge for two seconds and then cut through anything at range. Aircraft ignore walls and water entirely. Send everything at once, or press and hold to pick one type. THE OPPONENT The computer player was trained, not scripted — thousands of games against itself, and against a copy of how the developer actually plays. It expands, researches, raids your miners, retreats when it is losing a fight, and comes back with more. Four difficulties from Easy to Brutal; Brutal is the same brain that never stops thinking. MODES • Skirmish — one map, one enemy, no mercy • Survival — hold off endless waves, and get your name on the world board • Multiplayer — share a five-letter code and play a friend anywhere Portrait. One hand. No ads, no purchases, no account needed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Geometry War RTS at none against Stellar's 8. Stellar's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
