Step into the gritty, crime-infested streets of Technograd in Neural Dominion, a game that challenges you to rise to power as the leader of one of six unique gangs. In this immersive world, you’ll navigate the treacherous landscape of organized crime, where your success hinges on your ability to manage resources, expand territories, and engage in a variety of underground operations—from espionage and arms dealing to assassination. But beware, the law is always watching, and staying ahead means constantly outmaneuvering those who seek to bring you down.
Pre-Alpha gameplay trailer for Neural Dominion, a brutal cyberpunk 4X turn-based strategy game by GamesBond Studios and Camlann Games. Take control of one of 5 gangs in Technograd — a dark, crime-ridden city where getting to the top is the only thing that matters.
Neural Dominion reimagines the classic 4X gameplay—explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate—through a cyberpunk lens. As a gang leader, you’ll oversee the development of your territories, research cutting-edge technology, and maintain a stronghold in the city’s underworld. Your strategic prowess will be tested as you harness global and tactical powers, using hacking, extortion, and other methods to gain the upper hand. Financial dominance comes from running illicit businesses, such as drug trafficking and bloodsports, providing the economic muscle needed to support your rise to power.
Combat in Neural Dominion offers a dynamic experience, with players choosing between turn-based and “active time” battle systems inspired by JRPG mechanics. Equip your troops with advanced cybernetic implants, state-of-the-art armor, and powerful weapons to stand against rival gangs. The game features a diverse cast of gang leaders, each with unique skills and characteristics drawn from both classic and modern cyberpunk tropes. Your strategic decisions in combat and resource management will determine the fate of your gang, bringing you closer to total control over Technograd with each victory.
