Great potential, but with all Early Access titles, i'm tempering my full review until it's done. I personally am not a big fan of the Campaign, was hoping for a more fire-emblem style campaign approach, more combat-focused and such, but that's not the important part of the game to me anyways.
I think the multiplayer is fun, although predictable like most RTS-games (even though this is more borderline RTS). Enjoying it, looking forward to it's full drop.

SO. Songs of Conquest is good! It looks GREAT and it scratches the Heroes of Might and Magic itch.
When I think back on some of the most formative video games on my games taste, Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and 3 are near the very top of the list. In fact, HoMM 2 might have been the first time I ever finished an all-day marathon session and then right away started up another; even 9 year old me was a binge gamer hahaha
I've played and loved every HoMM game since then, and have been gutted that the series hasn't continued in earnest. So I was so happy to see a game that looked this good in the screens and media and so obviously an homage to the games I loved.
But it's just...missing...something. I don't think it's soul, exactly, since this game has character and charm of its own.
I think literally it might be as simple as the big city views. I wonder why they decided to not do those?
On the whole, you should play this, but don't feel alone if you go, "...eh..."
