Holding Out For A Hero | Songs of Conquest (Retro Turn-Based Strategy - Early Access)
128Songs of Conquest is mix of kingdom management, tactical combat and roleplaying, with a lovely story tying things together in the campaign mode, and it's all presented in a wonderful pixel art style! Plus there's magic and hex grids and, to top it all off, it's turn based! Hurrah!
We have a go at the first level of the Song of Stoutheart campaign, which is called The First Song, where we control of the marvellously named Cecelia Stoutheart! We investigate our lands, picking up resources and investigating mysterious sites of interest as we go along.
Soon enough we're involved in combat to reclaim one of our gold mines that's been overrun by rebels and we get to see the turn-based combat part of the game.
We travel through the lands, dealing with more things as we happen across them, including faerie type creatures, and we slowly build up our army for the fight with the final enemy at the end of the chapter.
NOTE: This is the Early Access version of the game.
