About Dominus Automa

From the very beginning, we've designed Dominus Automa around one simple idea: your gaming schedule should never dictate your progress. Play whenever it suits you, enjoy the game at your own pace.

In Dominus Automa your hero will faithfully follow the strategy and decision-making rules you've created, continuing their adventure without your constant input. Be it the zone you command them to explore or stick to their Combat Matrix rules, they will continue to grow 24/7.

Imbue hero with your logic and let them act:

That said, Dominus Automa isn't about pressing abilities faster than your opponent, like numerous games in the genre have accustomed us to. Instead, this is where the Combat Matrix system comes into play. 

Using the system, you'll define exactly how your hero behaves in battle. No two heroes fight alike. No two players have the same approach. No two encounters are identical - whether solo or in a group, in a PvP or PvE scenario.

While some players may choose to smartly debuff their enemies, empower their own hero, or adopt a defensive playstyle using supportive spells, others can go all out with devastating offensive abilities, embracing a high-risk, high-reward approach. Your playstyle can be (and will be!) completely unique - an explosive mix of your favorite strategies, skills, and combat temperament.
