![]() ![]() While Conqueror’s Blade started life as a distinctly eastern title, and the vast majority of unit, hero and map designs related to that aesthetic, starting with season one, the developers have incorporated various other cultures, including Viking, medieval France, Scottish Highlanders, and more into the mix.įaults aside, Conqueror’s Blade is one of just a few eastern free-to-play titles that has successfully combined both eastern and western aesthetics in a single package, and the art term should be commended for the consistently high quality of their work.Ĭonqueror’s Blade feels like an evolution of the battle system from Mount and Blade Warband, and being able to experience the thrill of those battles again with the added camaraderie of other players sweetens the deal. ![]() While being slaughtered by veteran players when a newbie is not ideal, it does force players to adapt and hone their skills, which in the long run is far more rewarding and enjoyable than learning one set of skills against an inferior AI foe, only to face real players and find out you are not the tactical and martial genius you thought yourself to be.īy all means, Conqueror’s Blade should offer the option to join bot lobbies, but they should also offer the option to wait for a full player lobby instead, even if that takes 5+minutes at lower levels.Ĭonqueror’s Blade is a very grindy game by design, and while it is not unbearable, it’s clear that it was created with paid XP and progression boosts in mind.Ĭan a free player have a lot of fun? Certainly, but that fun will be tempered by the knowledge that to reach the endgame and be competitive, players will need to either dedicate hundreds of hours to Conqueror’s Blade or open wide their wallets and buy convenience items that will make that journey substantially easier and much shorter. Too Many Bots.Ĭonqueror’s Blade, like many multiplayer games, utilises bots to ensure that less popular matchmaking brackets have short lobby times, and while this is a great way to introduce players to the game in theory, in reality, all it does is give players a false sense of security in their meagre abilities, followed by a harsh reality slap once they reach more populated matchmaking brackets, and are then continually decimated by veteran players. Conqueror’s Blade is an excellent game, albeit one with dreadful monetization that makes it less than enjoyable for players who lack the funds or time to compete at the highest levels of play. ![]()
