DOMINANCE - The World's First Bullet-Hell Battle Royale is Out Today on Steam Early Access

Cyprus, Nicosia – January 12, 2023


Dominance (trailer, Steam) is a new free-to-play multiplayer shooter that combines the Bullet-Hell and Battle Royale genres. The game is already available on Steam Early Access and represents the debut project of Stage23, a development studio within Inpleron LTD. What differentiates this game is the unusual combination of Bullet-Hell and Battle Royale genres, as well as the plot and setting, taking place in an alternative version of the 80's Western civilization where humanity is experimenting with alien technologies.


Before the start of the match, each player chooses one of the five most suitable characters.There are 27 players in total, distributed in 9 teams of 3, who can either survive or die based on how wisely they use their hero abilities and weapons, as well as dodge the enemy attacks.


Player’s progress will always be saved on the Alpha Season. The developers from Stage23 are very enthusiastic about the release and are going to support the game with the new content and updates in the future.


The main principle of Dominance is "The less limitations, the better”. The battlefield is turning into a huge field for experiments with character builds, weapons, and play styles providing a unique experience for the players.

 
MAIN FEATURES:

 
  • Bullet Hell Royale
Take out enemies with precise hits, predict their movement to come out on top, and utilize active skills, unique to each weapon type and character, to truly Dominate the battlefield.
 
  • Limitless Build Variety
Evolve your character and equipment. Explore the synergies and combinations of abilities, artifacts, guns and armor to find the one that perfectly compliments your style of play.
 
  • Living Breathing Map 
The battlefield changes as you play. The world of Dominance plays an equally important role during battle – pay attention to your surroundings to stay ahead! Every area has its unique bonuses and hazards. Use the terrain to your advantage – hide in bushes to ambush your opponents, run on concrete to move faster, and explore other unique properties of the game map!
 
  • Varied Roster of Characters 
Choose your alter ego from five heroes. Perhaps an alien invisible lizard or a super-mobile guy with teleportation would work for you? Each character has their own unique set of active and passive abilities, as well as their own leveling tree.
 
  • Integration with the Steam Marketplace
An advanced economy is available from the beginning of the Open Beta Test. You can put any item in the game on the trading floor, including items earned through a Battle Pass. Collect, accumulate, and trade in outfits, emotes, and other customization items.

 
The game is distributed on a Free-to-Play model. Any player can download Dominance for free on Steam: https://s.team/a/2175780
