A strategy game where you play a roving band of conquistadors in Hispaniola. The writing is pretty good but the dialogue options amount to "belligerent ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ intent on plundering the continent" or "polite refined gentleman intent on plundering the continent." You explore the region by moving a pawn around the world map similar to Masters of Might and Magic, occasionally arriving at locations of interest or dealing …

If the setting isn't important to you but the mechanics are, then play Expeditions: Viking (the second game in the series) instead. There's a bit too much jank and annoyances here to make it enjoyable for me, even though the setting is very nice. The combat is unfortunately VERY repetitive and boring due to a lack of varied skills between characters, so it mostly boils down to positioning and luck. I played on Hard …

At the time of writing this review, I picked up the game again more than ten years after its release date in 2013, in an attempt to unlock some more difficult achievements. Graphics and most mechanics feel outdated on this point. The oldskool simplicity of the more established mechanics, however, felt very refreshing. Being able to go back to the essence of tactical combat without getting too overflowed with …

So I have now completed the three expeditions games in the past two months,so my experience with the whole series is quite fresh. Expeditions Conquistador still stands as probably the best one of the series in the grand majority of fields. The overworld map is at its best in this game, with an actual sense of exploration that will allow you to be surprised when you discover a new city/village... or ancient ruins. …

The best Expedition title despite being the oldest. - simple to learn, not much useless skills around; - the conquistador setting is not seen in many game, making this one unique; - 6 initial classes plus 5 native classes that you can recruit to your party through the game; - amazying dialog and events; - 4 different ways to finish the game; - simplified camping. - due to having few skills it mean that using them …

67% of the 181 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Expeditions: Conquistador. The complaint that keeps coming up: graphics and mechanics feel outdated. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Expeditions: Conquistador received "generally favorable" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic. Patrick Hancock of Destructoid praised the game's "excellent" writing and battle system, but criticised the game's difficulty level as being one that could wear a player down and make them think they were not progressing and also for being too difficult at the start of the game resulting in a feeling of "trial by fire"

I've 556 hours in the game as of this post, it's a huge comfort game for me, and there's so many regions of the game I haven't completed yet. It's absurdly content-rich.

I didn't come back to this game again until after I played the developer's next entry in this series, Expeiditions: Viking. Because of the significant overlap in the basic game design between the two games, I was able to appreciate this game a lot more the second time around. If you've never…

However, I cannot get myself to enjoy the party personality part of the game. I know some love it. But I have never been one of those that is into supervising a bunch of kindergarten kids or dealing with high school drama. And that is exactly what the party personality part of the game feels like. It seems to me that no one on the developer team has ever experienced…

I love a good tactical RPG, and don't mind unforgiving games, but this is an unforgiving tRPG that just doesn't gel with me. Honestly, I think it's a death by a thousand cuts situation - this game has a lot of small issues that lead to big frustration. Let me explain: 1) You have a Might-and-Magic-style over world that requires you gather and manage resources to survive. This is a Fantastic idea that is tedious in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a ton of a fun to play. However, do note that the dev's decided to not release the full game. One important character for you to recruit to your band of merry man, is unavailable in this version of the game. The devs decided to leave this character behind the kickstarter paywall. Meaning that in the now almost 10 years that this game has been out, they never decided to actually release this character from Kickstarter purgatory. Which seems a tad unfair to every single other person…
