We can’t wait to see what players think of Songs Of Conquest - the world, the factions, combat, and our map editor!” “We’ve worked on this game for five years and counting, and hope that players will see all the hard work and love we poured into it. “It’s almost surreal seeing Songs Of Conquest enter Early Access.” said Carl Toftfelt, Lead Game Designer at Lavapotion. Local and online multiplayer are available, as well as a fully fleshed out Map Editor used in the creation of the game, that will offer a plethora of tools for players to build their own adventures and stories. A Skirmish mode is also included to pit players against enemies to test their mettle and strategic combat. ![]() In the second campaign, players will witness the rise of the Rana swamp tribes once more as they discover their true heritage. The first campaign follows an Arleon knight, Cecilia Stoutheart, as she uncovers and combats foul deeds in her barony. Players can take control of all four factions at Early Access launch, and embark on exciting single player campaigns for Arleon and Rana.Songs of Conquest will offer two single player campaigns at Early Access launch. Each of the four factions prioritises a different magic school, and the Wielders’ mana resource, known as Essence, comes directly from the number and size of its army.Ĭoffee Stain Publishing and Lavapotion announced that Songs Of Conquest is now available through Steam Early Access, GOG and Epic Games Store for 29.99$ / 29.99€. Songs Of Conquest is defined by its unique combat system, utilising hero units known as Wielders, each with their own affinity to a specific set of magic spells that buff their troops, rain destruction on their enemies or grant players extra turns and combat options. Players will encounter four distinct factions, each with their own unique aesthetics, gameplay and hero units, ranging from the noble knights of Arleon and the mysterious Barony of Loth to the swamp dwellers of the Rana tribes or the mercenaries of Barya. The in-game world is teeming with noble knights, nefarious necromancers and forest Faey locked in battle over power and territory. Songs Of Conquest is brought to life by an original take on pixel art design, allowing players to explore a unique and beautiful fantasy setting. The game will also launch into Early Access with a map editor that will give players the tools to create their own adventures and share their creations with others. In battle, players will take control of a wide range of combat units as well as Wielders, unique hero units that can control magic and buff their troops, as well as cast destructive spells on their foes. It will be interesting to see what twists Lavapotion can put on the well-trodden formula, such as heroes called Wielders drawing mana from their troops in place of a more traditional mana pool.Songs Of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game where players can build their kingdoms, explore distant lands and battle for dominance in single player campaigns, online and local multiplayer or skirmishes. The titular songs seem to point at a Bastion-style narration for the player’s misdeeds and heroics. It is hard to make an omelet without breaking some swamp-lizard eggs. While the game sports a somewhat cartoony pixel art style, the faction descriptions hint at a world that is a tad darker and more thoroughly conflict-ridden. At least when compared to the glory days of the series from around the third entry.Īs for the game itself, four factions are confirmed for release – feuding knights, inventor merchants, swamp-folk, and the undead. Not that there haven’t been any new entries, just not very good ones. ![]() The game is heavily inspired by Heroes of Might & Magic and well placed to please those longing for a spiritual continuation of that venerable series. Not sure if the Gnome on the left is holding a rocket launcher, bagpipes, or both ![]()
