Expeditions: Conquistador

The game seems nice and pleasant, I played it for few hours, until the 1st battle in the temple (not counting the tutorial battle). I'had like to go further, but ... It is very very slow and unresponsive. While this is not a big deal while exploring, it makes combat unpleasant and way too long. This is not due to graphics settings, I reduced them to minimal, even the resolution in 1024x768, to no avail combat is still sluggish. I also tried to set compatibility mode in windows xp. I tried windowed mode ... My computer can run Witcher 3 and Ashes of the Singularity (to name a few) at full graphics, and I just updated the drivers (25 april 2017 drivers for a game from 2013 should be ok, right ?) So as it is now, and until there is patch to make it playable on a modern computer, I can't recommend this game.

I love the story of the Aztecs and the Conquistadors, in particular Hernan Cortes epic (and horrific) adventure. Just all of the medival strategy, back-stabbing, well-done character back stories, sense of accomplishment, fun TB combat, excellent music...such a worthwhile, fun game, and change of pace. Normal combat difficulty is brutal, in particular for new players, my advice is to drop to easy difficulty until you learn the finer points of the game, it is very playable that way (and still just challenging enough too be fun). Love the artwork, music, characters, their stories and moral dilemnas they pose, the setting and the combat is really well done. There are some minor annoyances, most of all the balancing, but I can get past it easily for what is otherwise a great game. You're basically re-creating the story of Cortes as his budding replacement, as you march on Mexico after starting out on the island of Hispaniola, building-up the strength of your small expedition and wiping out threats as you go, and dealing with rebellions and thievery, etc.., The game has a deep RPG aspect to it, you can be an aggressively cruel conqueror, or a peaceful diplomat (mostly), just make sure you bring along people who will go along with your methods!

A nice RPG in an unexploited setting which has proven to be a very interesting one. I've had enough of orcs, dragons and elves so playing an RPG in which I was a Spanish conquistador in the New World was something refreshing for me. Besides... fights are turn based and that's something I always like. Plenty of assistants, giving tasks to companions when setting a camp (watch, hunting, preserving food...) I think this is a game well worth your time and money.

This game is incredible. It's unique blend of rpg, turn based tactics and survival combine to form one of the most interesting, intelligent and fresh games I've had the pleasure of playing in years. I'd pay thirty bucks for this game without hesitation; it's a steal at 19.99, and for ten dollars it's an absolutely amazing buy. I have 96 hours in already...

Is just a litle masterpiece, a true sleeper in PC gaming. The game is similar to King's Bounty series, focusing in your units instead on litle armies. Also have more micro-managemente and more rpg aspects. The text is very well written, congrats to writter and translators. Expeditions: Conquistador is more complete and fun than it seems at first glance.
