Expeditions: Conquistador Critic Reviews

For the patient gamer willing to spend time with a game and learn its quirks, Expeditions: Conquistador is a definite boon. The branching storyline, seeing the long-term consequences of your actions and the already-mentioned people and equipment management will assuredly entertain those who used to play Sid Meier’s Pirates! and new fans alike. For me personally, this is one of the best and most unique games that I’ve played this year.

A perfect balance between an RPG and a strategy game, between turn based gameplay and lively action. Although it has some flaws, I was able to turn a blind eye to them, as it offers at least 20 hours of great, absorbing fun.

At the very least, Conquistador's acceptance of player failure makes it possible to experience its excellent writing.

A very good game, with interesting narration, nice characters and some solid mechanics. It's got its limits and you can clearly see the small budget, but it's also got a big heart.

Expedition: Conquistadors is very entertaining strategic role playing game, about an interesting subject, too

Engaging turn-based battles with neat RPG system that is remarkable for its several quest solving options and its motivating map exploring.

A great strategy-RPG hybrid that’s a patch or two away from being an exceptional one.

You will not be bored a single second in Expeditions : Conquistador, if you're the type of gamer who loves this bland of turn-based strategy, RPG and New World atmosphere. This subtle genre cocktail finds new dynamics with the complexities of the story embedded in all the game's aspects. The story approach is the main innovation of this first title by Logic Artist, and propels it far above any regular indie game.

This exploration-based role-playing game is a lot more enjoyable and engrossing than it looks, thanks in part to some really great writing. Highly recommended for fans of role-playing, strategy and even history.

A big surprise, Conquistadores is an intelligent mix, capable of presenting a good moral system inside an nice adventure. Another good game from Kickstarter.

Despite a few flaws, it’s easy to recommend Expeditions: Conquistador for a number of reasons - the storyline, the strategic battles, the exploration and levelling. As an example of any one genre it’s hard to pin down, as it (generally) succeeds in trying lots of things and combining them into a fun and challenging experience. The result is a rewarding and nuanced game with few peers.

All in all, Conquistadors is a pretty solid game – the New World is full of wonder and danger, and there’s just enough RPG in the mix to make you feel like a real explorer, dealing with realistic problems.

There's a force in this game that tells us that they tried to do something different, even though there are some aspects that should have been improved. Still, it is a good options for those interested in the genre or the topic.

I wish I could have explored the world of Expeditions longer, but the map is not that big, and the story is short. I wasn’t trying to look in every nook and cranny, but did not rush, and the whole campaign took me just 15 hours to beat.

Expeditions definitely has some strong points like the narrative, the choices or its dynamics. But when it comes to the presentation in general and the battle tactics it is not as strong.

Strategy and RPG mixed together in a formula that works. Too bad for the many burrs due to some inexperience.

A solid designed strategy-RPG-mixture in an unused historical setting. You’ll leading a spanish expedition on an Caribbean island. The gameplay is turn-based and reminds to Heroes of Might & Magic. Same for the combat-system. But it’s not that much complex and the technical presentation of the game is just average quality.

The story provides a nice backdrop for the exploration, and your party members feel like actual humans and not disposable toy soldiers.

FX Interactive gives us a strategic videogame especially suited to the super fan of the genre.

An intriguing strategy/RPG hybrid with a lot to offer those who can conquer its more obvious flaws.
