Tactics! Strategy! Adventure!

If you like your gaming to be a delicious melange of gaming style, mixing tactical combat with strategic management and a soupçon of classic "choose your own adventure" decision making, then games like Expeditions: Conquistador are a delightful break from the usual.

Set in the newly-discovered Americas, Expeditions: Conquistador gives you the opportunity to play through the discovery of a wondrous new land and peoples. In history, the choices that the conquistadors were ruthless and bloody and secured the Old World's place as the ruling power in these new lands. As you go through the intricately branching plot, you can choose to follow the path that history has laid out for you, or take a new direction and see how history plays out. With unique expedition members, random events that can completely change the circumstances your expedition is facing, dynamic trading system and economies, and even maps that are based on topological maps of the Dominican Republic and Mexico, this game's deep gameplay and high replayability will keep you entertained & engaged for hours.

A successful Kickstarted project, you can get Expeditions: Conquistador on GOG.com for just $17.99 for the first week, so if you're thinking about checking it out, don't wait!

Crosmando: It should also be noted that although this game is "historical", it actually follows an alternate timeline in which the player's expedition from Spain beats Hernán Cortés' (the conquistador who actually did conquer Mexico) expedition to the New World. You don't play as any historical characters.
Still a somewhat historical setting :P
Wow...this looks like the perfect game for me. Gotta do more research before I buy. Hope its not simplistic.

JudasIscariot: Still a somewhat historical setting :P
Yeah, wasn't doubting that, it's just some historical games I've played make you play historical characters and as a result feel really bland and rigid, this game is better because it's your own party. I started playing today (got my GOG code early :)) and I rather like it, the random encounter events (with the beautifully illustrated pictures) and interested with real choices, a lot of them remind me of Darklands. The only gripe is that you have to choose followers, you can't create your own.

EDIT: Also, having a Scholar in your party is essential

You could always make a 'Review Expeditions Conquistador for 1 Star, Win Another game!' style giveaway. Misleading statistics seems to be common here lately anyway. I'm just waiting for that sort of nonsense to come up ^^

Have to admit, looking at the pictures this game looks appealing.

True. The scores, fortunately, are in Numberish.
Cool, Jagged Alliance in the exploration era. ^^
Nice release.
Oh, dear gods... I recognize the voice in the Youtube trailer! It's a Spanish voice actor that has taken part in a lot of different stuff, from anime to videogames. Hearing him speaking in English feels a little bit weird for my ears. XD

That said, I'm gonna have to give a look to this one. It looks very promising.
