Conan Unconquered
May 29, 2019 7 years ago
"From the Star Wars: Empire at War and Command & Conquer veterans at Petroglyph comes the first-ever strategy game set in the barbaric world of Conan the Barbarian. Conan Unconquered is a strategy game set in the barbaric world of Conan the Barbarian where you must build your stronghold and assemble an unconquerable army to survive the savage hordes of Hyboria. Wave after wave of increasingly more difficult enemies will rush at your gates and you will need to manage resources, research new technologies to advance your defenses, and recruit an ever-growing army if you are to save survive utter destruction. You can choose to play the game entirely alone in single-player, but Conan Unconquered can also be enjoyed in full two-player co-op allowing for a truly unique, shared multiplayer experience. Players share a base, but both can freely construct new buildings and amass an army to reach their common goal. Similar to games such as They Are Billions, the enemy hordes will keep coming at you and how long you can resist the invasion depends entirely on your ability to build your stronghold and lead your army. Gameplay is real-time, but you can also pause at any time to issue commands and start construction of new buildings. Battles will be bloody and savage with players having to deal with anything from fires raging through their stronghold to piles of corpses spreading death and disease. The savage horde is at your gates. Will you fall or will you remain unconquered?"
What it’s like
Conan Unconquered delivers a frantic, high-stakes survival RTS experience set in the brutal Hyborian Age. The core loop revolves around managing resources and constructing a fortified stronghold against relentless, escalating waves of barbaric hordes. It captures the 'plate-spinning' tension of titles like They Are Billions, requiring players to balance base expansion with military production under immense pressure. The tone is savage and desperate, emphasizing survival over narrative depth. While the premise is straightforward—defend your gate or die—the execution shines in its co-op mode, where two players share a base and coordinate defenses in real-time. The game offers significant replayability through increasing difficulty curves and tech trees, though it lacks the intricate world-building of traditional fantasy strategy games. It is a pure test of tactical endurance and resource management.
