For today's order of business, I'm going to review Pokemon Conquest, a game I have wanted to review for quite a while but have gotten lazy enough to leave it for later. Anyways, time to proceed.
At first off, I saw this game and quickly wanted to get into it. And once I bought it, I was hooked. It's a basic premise. Build a good team of pokemon and battle your opponents. Each pokemon is only limited to one attack of it's attribute, so making teams at least had an interesting portion of strategy to it. The battles were fun and building a good team did take me a good chunk of time.
However, once the game was done, starting over new stories from scratch seemed a bit discouraging. Either way, it's a game with tons of stuff to do. My only complaint is that other kingdoms didn't try to invade me as much during the main campaign. That definitely would have helped a lot to make my teams a lot better for when I invaded a kingdom.
Having a lot of pokemon to choose from is always nice, but their evolution process works differently here. So of course, I had to rely on searching for outside info to try and get them going. And with the lack of stronger opponents to train against (wild pokemon/warriors sometimes aren't enough to get it done), I found myself grinding more often than invading.
Either way, Conquest was a fun game. However, not having an online versus mode (even if it's just via friend code, I don't care) would have kept me playing this more time. The campaign can be completed fairly quickly (about 20 hours I guess), and the other side-stories will keep you busy for a long time.
I don't know, I still felt the game lacked a certain something. But despite these minor flaws, Pokemon Conquest is a good game if you want to find something to pass the time with. Worth playing.
