Open Beta Begins on January 12

Greetings, dominators!

It's official, Dominance will enter the Open Beta on January 12, 8 am PST!

[h3]What is Dominance?[/h3]
Dominance is an absolutely new team based multiplayer top-down shooter. What makes this game so unique is the unusual combination of Bullet-Hell and Battle Royale genres as well as the plot itself taking its place in alternative 80's where humanity is experimenting with aliens' technologies.

Before the start of the match, each player chooses one of the five most suitable characters.There’re 27 players in total who can either survive or die based on how wisely they use the hero abilities and weapons, as well as dodge the shots of enemies.

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.

Here are the main features of the game:

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.

A 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!

A 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.

[h3]Open Beta content[/h3]
The Open Beta will start with Alpha season and include 5 characters, dozens of weapons and artefacts to experiment with, and cosmetics to unlock via the battlepass.

Player’s progress will always be saved from Alpha Season. We are very enthusiastic about the release and are going to support the game with the new content and updates goint into the future!

[h3]How to start playing[/h3]
Dominance will be a free to paly game, which means come January 12th you can simply download it form Steam and start playing — with no strings attached!
