Eiyuu Senki: The World Conquest Critic Reviews

Eiyuu Senki is, of course, a very niche game, but it's a worthy one. Like Tears to Tiara 2 before it, it translates from adult entertainment into a "legitimate" game very well, on the strength of its strategy gameplay, and while you're not getting Shakespeare from the narrative, as long as you're able to enjoy these kinds of anime tropes, you're going to have a really good time with this one.

A unique cross of visual novel, RPG and strategy with fun and addictive gameplay. Learn some historical names and geography as you delve into a fun, laid back story, with ample amounts of combat and quests to keep you occupied. New game+ gives you a reason to come back and take alternate routes to glory to test your strategic senses.

On the face of it, it seems almost garish, with its scantily clad female characters and eyebrow-raising plot, but deep down is a game which encourages you to think tactically and carefully. While it does take some getting into, those persevering will be rewarded with challenging and interesting gameplay, and that sense of achievement which only comes with world domination.

It won’t make believers out of anyone not into the genre or art direction, but for those looking to pump just a little bit more out of their PS3 should at least consider picking it up.

A fun strategy game with a lot of gameplay hours, and a fun and colourful cast of characters. The story isn’t particularly deep, and neither is the gameplay, but the game’s charm still makes it well worth plugging the PS3 back in for.

Eiyuu Senki – The World Conquest appeals to a very niche audience. It has very good combat, and lots of options, but most gamers, even those who love their RPGs very Japenese, will have a difficult time getting into the silly story, and boring dialogue. This game is for hardcore visual novel and strategy RPG enthusiasts only.

Unfortunately Eiyuu Senki: The World Conquest fails to deliver the Visual Novel RPG/Strategy concept the way we anticipated. Ultimately it adheres mostly to the "harem" genre rather than the story-driven visual novel style which we are used to.
