Wield world-altering magic, muster ground-shaking armies, and explore a rich fantasy world! A brand-new turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics, with a unique pixel art style is out now on Steam Early Access, GOG, and Epic Games Store.
Let it be known throughout the kingdoms of Aerbor that Lavapotion and Coffee Stain Publishing, publishers of Valheim, Deep Rock Galactic, and Satisfactory, hereby announce that Songs of Conquest hath entered Steam Early Access for 29.99$ / 29.99€.
In Songs of Conquest, players will embark on epic adventures in the fantastic land of Aerbor, wage battle against other adventurers, or create their own maps and quests thanks to the game’s very own map editor. Players will take control of powerful mages called Wielders, build armies and expand their kingdoms using the resources and riches they find on their journey. The game is filled to the brim with turn-based strategy combat and modern pixel art inspired by genre classics.
Songs of Conquest is reminiscent of legends of the turn-based strategy genre from the 90s, bringing pixel art into the modern era via an immersive 2.5D art style. Each in-game faction has a unique visual identity that permeates every aspect of the game, from the buildings players build to strengthen their bases, to the units that make up an army. Leading these forces are the Wielders, heroes that can annihilate their foes and support their allies alike using different schools of magic.
There are four distinct factions in Aerbor for players to command:
- Arleon, an ancient kingdom allied with the Faey of the forest, offers its knights a chance at greatness if one wishes to seize it
- Rana, the swamp-dwelling tribes of the Marsh that witness the rise of a mysterious Wielder that seeks to unite them and reclaim their ancient legacy slumbering in the swamps
- Barony of Loth, is a mysterious and dark society that employs evil powers to bring the dead back to life and fight for past glory once more
- Barya, merchant states fueled by progress and artifice that live and die by their dealings and contracts, utilizing the mighty Hellbreath to defend their freedom
Players can take control of all four factions at Early Access launch, and embark on exciting single-player campaigns for Arleon and Rana.
Songs of Conquest will offer two single-player campaigns at Early Access launch. The first campaign follows an Arleon knight, Cecilia Stoutheart, as she uncovers and combats foul deeds in her barony. In the second campaign, players will witness the rise of the Rana swamp tribes once more as they discover their true heritage. A Skirmish mode is also included to pit players against enemies to test their mettle and strategic combat. Local and online multiplayer is available, as well as a fully fleshed out Map Editor used in the creation of the game, that will offer a plethora of tools for players to build their own adventures and stories.
