    SONGS OF CONQUEST 1.0 REVIEW

    Songs of Conquest has finally been fully released on Steam and GOG after 2 years of early access. Developer Lavapotion delivers an experience that is both familiar and innovative to both audiences familiar, and not with the genre. While the difference between early access and full release might not be the most apparent, there are some additions that leave give you more for your money by expanding how it plays. With two brand new story campaigns, now one per faction totaling four, each with relatively long levels. In this review we will delve into the different mechanics, campaigns, UI, graphics, and impact on the genre.

    GAMEPLAY MECHANICS
    Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game that mirrors the very core of the classic title Heroes of Might and Magic (HoMM). The core gameplay will have players exploring the map, collecting resources, building towns, and engaging in grid-based tactical battles.

    Players will assume the role of a Wielder, and each has their own abilities and associated factions. Ultimately, being tasked with defeating and defending against the opposing Wielders and taking over the entire map. This splits the game into two different phases: exploration and combat.

    Similar to how 4X strategy games and HoMM games play, you will need to move across the terrain and uncover different resources and secrets to aid you in battle. Through your exploration, you will find enemy units scattered across the lands that you will have to engage in.

    [...]

    Overall, Songs of Conquest is a fantastic game that brings back the nostalgic feel many players are looking for. With stunning graphics and creative gameplay, players will find something that they enjoy.

    Minor flaws can detract from the experience, especially when considering the difficulty curve and AI quirks. Some mechanics are also not explained very well, which can be an issue for some players, especially newcomers.

    I like Songs of Conquest, it does the Heroes of Might and Magic formula very well. Though it is not perfect it scratches that itch. It deserves the praises that it is receiving. So, if you're a fan of this genre of game then Songs of Conquest is a must-play.
