About Domination

Domenation is a highly competitive sword-person shooting game set in a virtual world where players battle on a massive map against creatures and other players.

Up to 42 players can participate, with competitive gameplay lasting around 12 minutes, and a 'pulse' occurs every few minutes.

The 'pulse' delivers damage across the entire map, forcing players to take shelter in 'Domes' that periodically appear on the map before a pulse occurs. Each time a pulse happens, the number of Domes reduces, creating intense battle points. In the final round, players fight for survival within the only Dome.

Additionally, in Domenation, physical engine and AI simulations are reflected in real-time, dynamically altering the game environment based on player actions and choices.
Players can adapt to the changing game world, constructing original strategies and enjoying intense competition with other players.

Furthermore, items and terrain in the game are tokenized, ensuring that in-game assets can be safely owned and traded. Player economic activities, such as item trading and land ownership management, are transparent and fair through blockchain technology.

The uniqueness and innovation brought about by utilizing blockchain technology are drawing significant attention.

Future developments

By 2025, we plan to release the mobile version, allowing gameplay on smartphones. Additionally, we intend to introduce new maps, modes, and user-generated content (UGC) where players can create their content. This will enable users to develop and share their unique game modes. Furthermore, we plan to increase competitiveness by introducing spaceships as a means of transportation and hosting tournament events.

In 2026, the release of a new Domenation game and the production of an anime series will advance, bringing the charm of Domenation to more people. As a result, the game's world will continue to expand, providing players with new experiences.

Domenation will continue to evolve, not just stopping at being a mere shooting game, but aiming to create a player-participatory ecosystem to offer innovative gaming experiences.

Domenation is a free third-person shooter (TPS) game developed using Unreal Engine 5. Set in a futuristic world, players battle against creatures and other players on a massive map that supports up to 42 participants.

The number of domes decreases with each round, culminating in a final showdown within a single dome. Additionally, in-game items and land are tokenized, enabling players to trade them freely.

◼︎ Gameplay
Various chests of differing rarities are scattered across the map, which players can open to acquire essential combat gear.
