Conquest Tactics: Realm of Sin Steam Review

Conquest Tactics: Realm of Sin is another title by Thousand Generation Games that they were kind enough to send me recently. This one is a bit different, however. This is a dark fantasy roguelike where you will be conquering tiles and fighting your enemy to essentially deal damage to the enemy flag to win battles.

Unlike most games like this, where the story takes a back seat to the gameplay, Conquest Tactics has sort of flipped this on its head. The battles are fun, make no mistake. There is quite a bit of strategy involved. Do you use your more defense-oriented people to expand and protect your area, or recall them and attack? Is it time to risk losing ground to win the battle? These are all choices you have to make for yourself at any given time. These, however, pale in comparison to the most important choice of all as you make your way through the game.

The world is in chaos, a great darkness is taking over, and in true video game fashion, it is up to you to stop this from occurring. While you have the power to end this, you also have the power to simply encourage it to happen. What kind of person do you choose to be? A hero for the world, or the villain of all villains? There is no wrong answer, only what is in your heart, or I guess lack of one, you evil bastard you.

While the game is simplistic to learn, mastering it is far from, I still haven’t truly managed to do it myself. With a new twist on having a command stage and your troops being more like game pieces on a board that twist and attack in directions, and the story being the main selling point, I highly encourage people to check this one out. It is a 9/10 experience for me. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
