Domina Review:
Rooooaarrr! You just cannot help cheering when your Gladiators crush the opponent! Every time my gladiators fought in the Colosseum I turned up the music and found myself clapping, cheering and shouting random things "Slaughter them!". I cheer them on while I watch those little pixel guys chop off heads and arms. A bit brutal, but its pixels... so what's the real harm, right? :D

This game is simply amazing. With beautiful pixel art that lets my imagination run wild. You run your own Ludus and you have the power. You can set your little gladiators free, put them to death or make them fight in an ancient arena. There are Lions, chariot races, bloody fights and other awesome stuff.

It's stunning how a game like this can really induce various emotions. You'll have favorites which you will dress up in the most expensive armor and reward with wine and coin. While you will discard others easily if they are too flawed.

I would also like to add that the developer is awesome! He listens, debugs and is constantly active updating and improving the game. I had a problem with posting the twitter animations of my battles and after a bit of correspondence he found the bug and fixed it. Now I can tweet all my victories and show off my gladiator stock.

The game is very elaborate. You have to train and upgrade your Gladiators, pick skills from a skill tree and you can hire up to 3 employees who give you various perks, some we're overpowered but I'm sure they will get an update sometime. . You have to keep both the Magistrate and Legate happy and keep your resources stocked up.

I ended up playing Domina hours on end, the Saturday came and went. This game made me re-watch the Gladiator movie. I love it when you get so involved with a game that time stands still. A 10/10 for me!

Top lines I shouted while my gladiators fought:
Slaughter Them!
Are you not entertained!?
Muwhwhahahaha
Roaaaarrr
Kill them all!
Nooooooo!! (when my guys got crushed)
This is Spartacus, B**ch!

The Good:
+ Amazing pixel art
+ Invokes emotion
+ You really want to win and crush the opponent
+ Great music and sound effects
+ Skilltrees, upgrades and more

The Bad:
- nothing, I love this game!
You can play this game over an over again, casually or spend a full day tweaking and testing skills and other things.
