Game Overview

Dominus (Proto) is one of those unfinished Genesis games that somehow feels more interesting because it never got a proper release. It’s like stumbling on a half-written fantasy novel—you can see the potential, even if some edges are rough.

You start off leading a ragtag army across a moody, medieval map, and right away, it’s clear this isn’t just another turn-based slog. Your troops have personalities—some will straight-up desert if you push them too hard, and managing morale is as important as picking the right battlefield. The combat’s got that Shining Force vibe, but with a darker, almost political layer where alliances can crumble mid-fight.

Honestly, the prototype jank is part of the charm. You’ll hit unfinished dialogue or placeholder art, but there’s a weird thrill in piecing together what the full game might’ve been. If you’ve ever lost hours to Fire Emblem or Ogre Battle, this forgotten draft is worth a curious playthrough.
