Warlords: Strategic Conquest

Very impressive, the writing was quite good and the choices required much mental planning. I immensely enjoyed that the game plays out differently depending on the character that you choose, that certainly provides this game the opportunity to be played and enjoyed more than once.

It's obvious that plenty of effort went into making this capture the feeling of what it was like to be in war in those times. So much so, that I really found myself being immersed with the writing.

This storygame is undoubtedly fun, in my opinion. ^^

The strategy and logic behind each choice was very well-written and kept the story moving at an engaging pace throughout all three characters' storylines. I actually found myself having to pause and mull it over as I tried to figure out the ramifications of each choice. This is very much a game that is more enjoyable if you slow down and think rather than simply guess and hit 'back' if you're wrong. The ending feels more legitimately rewarding that way.

On the flip side, while the three characters were very unique and all three routes had very unique gameplay, I felt that the characters were a bit lacking in personality. They felt more like a series of strategic decisions rather than living, breathing people. Which was fine, considering that this was a strategy game, but I felt that the lack of strong characterization made the game less immersive than it otherwise would have been.

Still, absolutely fantastic job. This game really captures the feeling of Ancient China and its complex interplay of war and politics! Definitely worth a look.

Well, what I will say is that what is here is very good. It's well written, engaging, and challenging, as negotiating with diplomats becomes a mental puzzle.

My biggest problem here is that it's missing something. I finished the whole thing with a good ending in about ten minutes. The strategy in conversation is flawless- if there were strategy in the form of battle, and the taking and losing of cities- or support from the people, depending on what path you take- this could be a sweet game.

As it is, it's very good. It does nothing wrong. It's a well-made grilled cheese. I was just wanting something to wash it down is all.

that was awsome

I died at the end of my first run, as General Toleron, LOL. It was good, or at least decent. Not great, but certainly not bad, either. It really makes you take a hot minute or a hot second and THINK about the choices you make and what sort of impact they'll have on your infrastructure as a warlord. Nice.

It was incredible!!!

This one was pretty good.

I liked the overall storyline, and the story gives you enough information to guess which diplomatic solution the different warlords would like. Of course this was just my first run-through with the most diplomatic character. I will have to come back to this later.

8/10 will play again

gaming!

Fun

Short and sweet. I live these kinds of games
