Songs Of Conquest was one of the prettiest games at E3 2021

Crisp, detailed and beautifully lit pixel art

Songs Of Conquest was 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 upwards and expanding your kingdom in betwixt. It besides has lovely pixel fine art. Watch the trailer below.

It's a compelling construction for a game, isn't information technology? I want to level upward my guy in fights, and level up my kingdom, and accept it all feed into better tools with which to win more than fights. It's also another game that seems to exist volumetrically lighting its pixel art, so it looks sumptuous.

Whether information technology works in exercise will depend a lot on its battles. You send troops into fights by offset positioning them on the field, and and so employ their skills and magical abilities in tandem to defeat foes. I similar that climbing to higher ground gives you an advantage, as seen in the video above, merely it's too early on to tell if the scraps are interesting enough for the long booty.

There's promise in its iv planned factions. In that location are boring Arleon knights and intriguing capitalist Barya, only I'm mostly excited almost the swamp dwelling Rana, who seem to have a large turtle, and the Barony Of Loth, who seem to have a scorpion made mostly out of skulls.

In that location's plenty else planned, including online multiplayer, an in-game level editor, and more mentioned on the Songs Of Conquest Steam page. It's also coming to GOG and EGS when it releases sometime early next year.
