Songs Of Conquestwas one of the most exciting trailers I saw at E3 2021. It’s a turn-based strategy game in which you stomp around a world map, triggering hexy battles against fantasy factions, and levelling up and expanding your kingdom in between. It also has lovely pixel art. Watch the trailer below.

It’s a compelling structure for a game, isn’t it? I want to level up my guy in fights, and level up my kingdom, and have it all feed into better tools with which to win more fights. It’s also another game that seems to be volumetrically lighting its pixel art, so it looks sumptuous.

There’s promise in its four planned factions. There are boring Arleon knights and intriguing capitalist Barya, but I’m mostly excited about the swamp dwelling Rana, who seem to have a big turtle, and the Barony Of Loth, who seem to have a scorpion made mostly out of skulls.

There’s plenty else planned, including online multiplayer, an in-game level editor, and more mentioned on theSongs Of Conquest Steam page. It’s also coming toGOGandEGSwhen it releases sometime early next year.
