Raise mighty armies, wield ancient magic and forge an empire. This turn-based strategy adventure game fuses strategic decision making, tactical combat and kingdom management.
RPG Gamers summarySongs of Conquest, a homage to classic 90s turn-based strategy games, is poised to become the newest must-play title. As a Wielder, you navigate territories teeming with formidable armies, battling your way to prominence as your knowledge of powerful artifacts deepens.
A key feature of Songs of Conquest is its expansive and diverse world. You can explore an array of maps, all loaded with unique enemies and valuable loot. Each map takes you through contrasting biomes, home to distinct factions, environments, and battlefields, providing a fresh and dynamic experience.
The game targeted strategic gameplay, as you manage resources, further technological advancements, and gradually fortify your kingdom. The strategic depth is illustrated by its city-building mechanics where player’s investment in archers can rain terror from the skies or lead the mighty armies of Aurelia to war.
The combat system in Songs of Conquest further amplifies this strategic depth. This system showcases the interplay between troop abilities and magic, serving to increase possible damage and overall battle strategy. Epic siege battles only reinforce their commitment to reflect real-time strategic decisions in a virtual platform.
Another striking feature is the game’s adaptability. Songs of Conquest has handcrafted maps targeted at the adventurous spirit, but also randomised maps that ensure endless replayability. Conquest maps facilitate head-to-head confrontation while Challenge maps test your strategic ability in a puzzle format.
Songs of Conquest also offers significant player autonomy. You can play solo or team up with friends, or even enlist AI allies and enemies. Additionally, there are four factions, each with its unique characteristics: Arleon, Rana, Loth, and Barya. A specific choral campaign accompanies each faction, injecting narrative and auditory delight to the gameplay.
The game provides a platform for player-created content via their in-game map editor. Players can use this tool to create their own adventures, script in-game events, control the soundtrack, write dialogue, and share their creations.
Songs of Conquest is shaping up to be a game that provides a deep strategic experience, coupled with captivating narratives, vast player freedom and immense replayability. The new DLC, Rise Eternal, is set to hit the store soon, promising an even more complete experience.
