Among my most eagerly awaited mobile game releases, few rank as highly as Songs of Conquest. Although its spiritual predecessor, Heroes of Might & Magic, predates my gaming era, the blend of RPG action, magical rock-paper-scissors dynamics, and strategic depth has captured my interest.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves; Songs of Conquest has just launched on iOS and Android, bringing its hex-based strategy gameplay to mobile devices. In this game, you command stacks of infantry, monsters, and other units, striving to outmaneuver and defeat your opponent's forces. You'll leverage both the terrain and the arcane arts to gain the upper hand in battle.

The game is rendered in a visually appealing 2.5D style and introduces four factions at launch: the necromantic kingdom of Loth, the remnant empire of Arleon, the ancient frog tribes of Rana, and the mercenary merchants of Barya. Each faction comes with its own unique traits, strengths, and weaknesses, which you'll need to master and exploit to succeed.

Strike the drums of war Beyond the familiar hex-based battles reminiscent of Heroes of Might & Magic, Songs of Conquest offers a visually stunning world to explore, along with equipment to find and upgrade, enhancing your capabilities.
