Survive The Apocalypse, Dominating The World

You can organize your base as you like

Name: Total Domination.

Type: Real-Time Strategy.

Publisher: Plarium

My rating: 4 of 5

Total Domination is a real-time strategy game in Facebook with standard features like any other real-time strategy game. But if you like the apocalypse and mutants enemy as the setting, then I'm sure you'll like this game.

The game starts with a brief explanation from the NPC character named as General Trevor Winters. He'll tell you the background story about what happen, and he also give you the missions. It's easy to leveling up in this game from level 1 to level 15. You even can reach level 15 in 1 hour if you keep construct and leveling up your buildings. 

As this article's title suggest, the main reason of this game is to dominate the world. This game suggest you to attack and gain more experience. You can attack NPC's bases called Infestation or other players. Each attack will give you experience points and -- in some occasion -- spoils. You can get new military troopers or resources from the war spoils. Sometime it's an economically great advantage than create your own army.

Green is mine, red is another player I've raided to loot

Total Domination offers interesting research tree. Player needs to research them to unlock buildings and troops. So don't ever ignore the power of science!

Research. It will save you from apocalypse.

Comparing with other online strategy games, I found the element that hooked me into this game is the graphic. Creating cool troopers like Disintegrator that can make a black hole in enemy's troopers or even a Valkyrie, take them to attack infestation area full with mutans or other player's base, and waiting them home again with spoils of war are other excitement I got from Total Domination. Attack and win. Build great defense. Make world know your name. Welcome to Total Domination!

Going back to Blogosphere

I borrow this picture from Wikipedia. I'm sure it's free :p

How long I've been gone since the last post? Almost two years. And there are many changes happen in that time. Real life surely taking my passion away from blogging. But since the real life is calming down -- for now -- I guess I'll take a moment to come and post something here.

So, this is me, I'm back!

I've read my previous post and saw a Facebook game, Mystic Card. That day I really like to play it. Then I met another good game in Facebook and suddenly it's not that interesting anymore. I even forgot it exist as one of apps in my dusty Facebook apps list. Then suddenly I want to play it again. Unfortunately, Mystic Cards is no logger active. I guess this is a challenge and selection to show who is the stronger apps. If people stop playing an apps, then it will wither and died. I think that is what happen to this game. 

One apps is gone, an no one will notice it if it's a little apps with only several thousand players. No one will notice the different if an old game disappear and the new, shiny games come in to fill the gap. Gameplay, graphic quality, musics, all of those elements are something to tied down players so they don't leave the game. But as world goes on, every gamers need something new and fresh. A game that cannot offer fresh and dynamic elements to its players will not stand the selection. Only the winner survive, and the loser will vanish.

I found a bunch of new games in this 2 years period. I'm still playing some of them nowadays. And I guess I'll never stop playing, as counsel of the wise said, "We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing."

It's just a serious player's blog. Thank you.
