DomiNations assaults Clash of Clans with a Civilization-like mobile strategy game

Somebody is going to knock Clash of Clans out of the No. 1 spot on the top-grossing mobile apps charts one of these days. The latest to attempt this feat is DomiNations, the new Civilization-like mobile game from Big Huge Games and Asian gaming giant Nexon. DomiNations launches today on both Apple’s iTunes App Store, Google Play, and Amazon.

If DomiNations succeeds, Big Huge Games can steal a chunk of revenue from Supercell, which generated $1.7 billion in 2014 from just three games, including Clash of Clans, which has been at the top for a couple of years of the mobile market — a sector that could reach $30 billion this year, according to research firm Newzoo.
