Constructing a historical, yet fictional, turn-based strategy title based around the ancient Spanish era of the Conquistadors, Expeditions: Conquistador explores a setting rarely used by contemporary video games. Astonishingly refreshing and overly infectious, Logic Artists’ seminal title provides the depth, replayability and excitement of a triple-A game without actually being one. Fantastic as the story and characters are, any turn-based strategy game worth investing in has a robust, detailed and overly fun combat system. Fortunately, Expeditions: Conquistador contains a deceptively deep and strategic system that will punish you for playing dumb and reward you for having patience and foresight.

This allows for some excellent combos, flanking attacks and ambushes, depending on how creative you are. Easily running beyond 35 hours, Expeditions: Conquistador will ceaselessly bombard you with moment after unforgettable moment. With two campaigns tucked away, multiple endings to gain and the ability to lead your expedition on an aggressive or more peaceful path, this game has tremendous replay value. Expeditions: Conquistador is an absolute must play for any turn-based strategy fan. Not only does it explore a seminal time period that’s neglected in contemporary game culture, but it delivers a detailed and entertaining combat system with a professional narrative anyone can enjoy.
