Among the most eagerly awaited mobile releases, Songs of Conquest stands out prominently. Although its spiritual predecessor, Heroes of Might & Magic, predates my time, the blend of RPG-like action, strategic rock-paper-scissors dynamics, and deep strategy is undeniably captivating.
Songs of Conquest has just launched on iOS and Android, offering a hex-based strategy experience where you command stacks of infantry, monsters, and other units. Your goal is to outmaneuver and defeat your enemy's forces, leveraging both terrain and magical abilities to secure victory.
Presented in a visually striking 2.5D style, the game introduces four distinct factions at launch: the necromantic kingdom of Loth, once a feudal barony; the remnant empire of Arleon; the ancient frog tribes of Rana; and the mercenary merchants of Barya. Each faction comes with unique traits, strengths, and weaknesses, which you must master to succeed.

Beyond its hex-based combat reminiscent of HOMM, Songs of Conquest offers a rich world to explore, along with equipment to enhance your capabilities. The game features four distinct campaigns, each telling the story of the titular Songs of Conquest from the perspective of a different faction as you build and expand your empire through strategic gameplay.
For a one-time purchase of just $11.99, you can dive into this enchanting world of strategy, magic, and epic battles. With the main release already boasting four DLCs, there's a promise of extensive future content to keep the experience fresh and engaging.
