Tales of Old: Dominus

I want to like the game and I would have kept this game for sure. I joined the Discord though and all I see is silence. There are no staff listed no conversations nothing. This speaks volumes sadly, upon seeing that I quickly hit Refund in a hurry. If you want to take the chance on the game performance was good but there are many difficulties with the game. My most hated was the horse, steering it with the KB is horrible. It gets stuck too much. Combat I will warn everyone is not just hitting LMB you have a bunch of buttons doing different attack types. So far the AI enemy are stupid but I did not get all that far into it. I am not interested in having another game collecting dust in hopes that it will improve. This game feels like an Early Access game in about year 2 of development. Many rough spots that need help but the game is full release. Combined with a Dead Discord and Steam forum alike, I am out.

I really wanted to like this game, but there have been no updates since in over six months and no recent responses, so this one seems another abandoned game.

Tales of Old: Dominus is a medieval open-world action RPG developed by Hvmana Industries MMD and published by indie.io, aiming to merge survival mechanics, brutal combat, stealth systems, and kingdom-building into a single cohesive experience. Set in a harsh and politically fractured land, the game follows Eric of Woldham, a survivor of a devastating conflict that left his village destroyed and his family slain. From this tragic beginning, the narrative unfolds as a tale of revenge, ambition, and gradual ascension from lone wanderer to a leader capable of reshaping the balance of power. The world of Dominus is intentionally unforgiving. From the outset, survival is as critical as swordplay. Players must manage hunger, thirst, warmth, and fatigue while navigating forests, villages, and contested territories. These mechanics ground the experience in a form of medieval realism, forcing preparation before embarking on quests or battles. Hunting wildlife, gathering materials, crafting tools, and maintaining basic supplies are constant concerns. This survival layer adds tension and immersion, reinforcing the idea that Eric is not yet a legendary hero but a vulnerable man struggling to e…

This guy needs to be commended for just how much there is in this game (handclap emoji). I feel like it's really an early access game and the dev probably burned himself out with trying to update and patch everything, then just went silent. I hope they are still around because right now this game is guilty fun but it has the potential but quite extraordinary if they really ironed out the bugs, got a little better sound mastering, and added controller support for us lazy folk. This game has bug's so don't play it if you're afraid of bugs, you've been warned.

This game is just very bad as performance wise terrible, combat it needs improvement how ever far as the story line is good. but the game need lots improvement one of the main issue is your horse it move to slow and it get stuck at one animation. fix your game fix the bugs the game now is 15 $ US dollar is not worth the money I spend 1 hour in the game and I ask for refund the game is not even in early access. I will not recommend at this stage not even for free.

One should not write a review after just 20 minutes in the game. So, this is just my first impressions. Basically, I am waiting for the new Steam controller to come out, as the controls are too janky to be functional (I am not a K/M player, if you are, this will be less of a problem. First of all, I want to congratulate the (single?) Dev for the scope of his vision and ambition. The premise is really engaging, and it looks great, with a really immersive atmosphere. There is some serious talent here, talent that deserves support (which is why I bought the game). On the other hand the optimisation is low, and the jank is high. If you buy play this game, your thoughts will be exactly the same as mine - 'This would be a fantastic game if it had some investment behind it'. If you are looking for a fully realised game, this is not it. On the other hand, emerging talent deserves support. There is something wonderful trying to get out here, but it is held back by lack of funding. I really want the dev to succeed and keep building in this - to realise his ambition and to get the support he deserves. This is why I bought it, and why I give it a thumbs up now.
