Songs of Conquest

The game is mediocre at best. Bought it for like, 8$, because i was lured by Sseth video, worst mistake ever.

Visually, it is generic, a failed nostalgia bait, overloaded yet indistinct. A nauseating combination of glitter and blurry pixel art.
Music is as fogettable and generic as possible, i don't remember a single track, and neither will you. Can as well turn it off, nothing of value would be lost
Campaign is offensively bad. Whoever is responsible for the writing should not be allowed withing 20 feet of a keyboard, although i suspect it was written either by ai, a free volunteer, or an indian copywriter.

Now, it's all fun and games, untill it's just games with no fun. Gamepley is just as generic as music and visuals, with the sole exception being spellcasting.
Spellcasting is nedlessly convoluted at best. Essentially there are 5 categories of magic, each having a corresponding 4 spells, separate mana pools and skill, with no limit for casts per round. Mana pools are refilled either by a proficiency once per round, or by creatures.
Now, the ugly part, equipment and skills. Both suffer from a similar problem of creative impotence, and i will use equivalent of HoMM stats to highlight that.

Equipment is a garbage galore, for every actually meaningfull item there is 2 "+0.2/+0.4/+1 to defence" and 1 "+2 sight/gold/travel/wood"
Skills are dumpsterfire. Half of them are joke, the other is quarter weak and quarter busted. The former exist because of one of the latter.
A level 30 hero whose skills are +3 wood/+3 stone/+3 silk/+3 crystal/+3 amber/+500 gold/+6 sight/500% deconstruction bounty/+50% chance weak neutral retreat is by far the most pathetic commander you'll see in a videogame, but you will see quite a lot of them in this game thanks to "Tutor" skill.

The actually usefull skills are very unequal.
5 of those are magic schools. Since there is no limits for casts, every spell is unlocked by default, and every skill generates own mana as well as improving corresponding school, there is no reason to not run all of them. You SHOULD run all of them.
Command allows to take more troops. This is useful both for casters and soldiers, as units generate mana passively for hero, though unit oriented builds will find it too expensive as it requires 9 levels to max
Chanelling doubles spell damage, Magic resistance divide it by four(or maybe by 1.75 im not even sure devs are sane enough)
Melee and Archery give pitful 4-6 attack(equivalent of 2 artifacts for 6 levels), while Guard and Positioning give whopping 30% resistance(or maybe it is 23%?) and combat training giving 20% damage bonus.

Out of 25 skills, only 12 of them are combat related and only 7ish are actually impactful with few of them(percentage reductions) being insanely busted and must-pick. Do not expect to acquire them, the leveling process is random and you can hit lvl 12 without improving any of your combat abilities. This game has no stats per level like HOMM franchise, so if you dont get the right skill, your army WILL crumble like a house of cards if confronted by an enemy half your level because they got Guard and Melee or Chanelling and Essence.

Also, the combat positions of your units at the start of the battle are random. Have fun with that. Or don't. You WILL skip this torture as much as possible with autobattle, because instant battle feature is so effective i suspect the game doesn't really expect you to play

Картинка требует плавности. Постройки по несколько ходов, ходы короткие совсем. Процесс боя совсем не понравился (радиус атаки у стрелков плохо видно). Размещать можно войско ток в определённых точках, влияние окружений (клеток где стоишь). Ожидал куда большего, но увы. Сложно сказать, но для любителей игры "Heroes of Might and Magic" не советую.
