From Samobor comes a very interesting title called Atre: Dominance Wars. This 4X RTS evokes nostalgia for Heroes of Might and Magic and may even remind you of Age of Wonders. But perhaps that’s not what matters most, what matters is that it promises a dynamic world, unique races and armies, and the type of gameplay fans of the genre love.

In Atre: Dominance Wars, you take on the role of an Elder, a powerful being on the path to becoming a god, with your decisions shaping the world around you. The game is woven with a deep and rich narrative, so you can expect a full campaign experience in which you’ll explore different spells and technologies, while strategically positioning your armies.

“Atre: Dominance Wars is more than just a game; it’s a passion project, brought to life from a 20-year-old dream. Originally conceived in Croatia as Dominance: Throne of Elders, the game was ahead of its time but limited by old technology. The creators never gave up on their vision and have now transformed it into a 4X RTS where your decisions shape the world,” said Ironward CEO and game designer Hrvoje Horvatek.

The trailer also gives us a look at artifact creation and upgrades, building generals with their stats, and the fascinating creatures that will inhabit this world. So take a look at the trailer below and judge for yourself.

What we know for now is that the game will be available on Steam sometime in 2025.
