Unique, immersive, innovative, classic
This game was way ahead of its time. It's one of the first genre-hybrids that combined several game styles to create a vastly immersive mix: It's a grand strategy with tactical battles, roleplaying elements and a first person action game all in one. To put all that into one game was a very ambitious endeavor, but Conqueror makes it work beautifully to give you that "live the life" experience (within the late 90s technological limits) and leaves you with the question: Why haven't developers created more games like this? There's nothing like getting to manage a little medieval fief, recruiting armies, traveling the lands, taking part in tournaments to win fame, fortune and the hearts of ladies watching you joust, scouring the weapon shops for the elusive Kingslayer sword, and ultimately conquering the whole of England as you storm castles in person with an elite cadre of your loyal men. Although I've been gaming hard since the mid 90s, I can only name a handful of games with such a wide array of gameplay styles. Defender of the Crown (80s), Birthright (90s) and maybe Mount & Blade (2000s) are some of the few that could be called similar. It's a shame there aren't more games like this, but I firmly believe this was and still will be (should be!) the future of gaming. Thank you Software Sorcery for having the vision and the guts to develop this gem, Sierra for publishing it and GOG for bringing it back for newer generations to experience and older ones to enjoy once more.
