About Atre: Dominance Wars
Atre: Dominance Wars is a strategy where you play as a Sorcerer who became an Elder. Your goal is to learn new spells, subdue your enemies and ascend to God. In the later stage of the game you can also get access to God spells which can change the map.
While doing that you will encounter The Merge that slowly destroys your playable area, there are ways to counter it by capturing those regions and binding them to your Throne which is your seat of power.
Build thriving cities, construct special structures and amass legions of devoted followers.
As an Elder, research spells and gain a diverse set of powers - from spreading prosperity to bringing total annihilation. The most powerful Elders can ascend to Godhood and open the Gate between worlds. During this period you are granted absolute power and magic that can destroy the land itself, but… this power comes with a price, and the Gate between worlds stays open for powerful entities from the other side…
Magically bind various gems to craft unique artifacts that imbue you or your armies with unparalleled might. Name the artifacts as you wish, using ancient Glagolitic script.
Given to you by the gods, immortal Avatars will lead armies in your name. With each victory they gain experience; level them up, equip them with powerful artifacts and shape them into juggernauts of destruction.
Let your Envoy roam the shattered world, and send your Avatars to conquer it all. Capture cities, construct magical monoliths and create a dominion that bends to your will.
The way the world is generated depends on the magical attributes you choose when you create your character. So the world responds to your choices from the very beginning. The events you come across also change depending on these magical attributes. Take note: Events are steeped in the lore of this new world and when presented with multiple choices, unexpected consequences may arise if you don’t do some detective work.
With this mechanic, Atre: Dominance Wars promises a fresh experience for every different playthrough.

What I like most is that the game constantly gives you things to think about. You're managing settlements, deciding where your Heroes should go, preparing armies, saving mana for spells, and reacting to whatever the map throws at you. It feels less like executing a perfect plan and more like adapting to an evolving situation. I also appreciate that lower-tier units don't instantly become useless. I've had plenty of situations where a well-positioned "weaker" unit or the right army composition mattered more than simply having the strongest stack. The visuals deserve a mention too. The updated spell effects, larger battles, and army formations make the game feel alive. There were several moments where I zoomed in just to watch a battle play out instead of immediately skipping ahead. It's definitely Early Access and still being polished, but if you're a fan of Heroes, Age of Wonders, or fantasy strategy games in general, I'd genuinely recommend giving it a try.7 found this helpful
A breath of fresh air. While it´s still a bit rough around the edges (to be expected from an Early Access title) I´m hungry for more and can´t wait to see how the further development goes. Atre actually being a well rounded project from art style, to gameplay and music. As a gamer that gives me the feeling of being at home.5 found this helpful
The setting is very creative, the gameplay is simple but fun, the magic feels impactful and important with the exception of perhaps Erol magic which only have 2 spells of note, both of which the impact they have is very passive. although the devs are very involved in their community which will most likely only do this game justice going forward.2 found this helpful
This seems like a pretty good take on the HOMM style of strategy games, reminds me a lot of HOMM 5, but with more modern graphics. Obviously this is an early access title so there's a lot of jank, but overall I find this title pretty promising. Looking forward to what Ironward will do next for it!2 found this helpful
A great take on the classic Heroes of Might and Magic type of gameplay. In a nutshell, you have your settlements that are the source of new units and your heroes that lead an army and you go around to explore and defeat opposing forces. I like the addition of the coop gameplay and that there are different stats and magic types which means that you can have drastically different types of viable strategies. The game is complex enough so that you have enough to master and the game doesn't get stale. And the campaign missions are great to get you eased into the game without overwhelming you with information. The devs seem to be passionate about the game so I'm curious how the game will evolve through the Early Access until the full release.1 found this helpful
A fun game with lots of complexity so that the game doesn't get stale even after many hours, but at the same time it'a still surprisingly easy to get into. I still feel like I only scratched the surface. The campaign gets you used to the main concepts of the game, but the skirmish is where the game shines. I can't wait to play it coop with my friends. At the time of the review the game only recently released in Early Access and I haven't encountered any bugs so it's in a great state already. I can't wait to see what the devs will do to the game as they develop it further for the full release.1 found this helpful
