Songs of Conquest is great. Sometimes you know the moment you play something that it’s a belter. You can feel that sense of quality oozing through as soon as you load it up. It’s in the music, the look, the feel – I love a game that plays with real zip and this does. I smile returning to it. I want to tell people about it. Songs of Conquest has me.
Caveat: I am exactly the game’s target audience. A colleague summed it up best when he wandered over to watch me playing and asked if this was Age of Wonders. No, I replied. Was it Heroes of Might and Magic then, he asked. No, I replied. But those two comparisons nail exactly what Songs of Conquest is, and I love them both.
Songs of Conquest is a game about steering a fantasy hero around a map while building their army, then fighting in grid-based, turn-based battles. On the map, you find treasures and buildings to interact with for troops or buffs.
