Description: Conquer is an action-packed combat game experience crafted exclusively for VR/MR. The story is set in age of ancient times where the players will explore the game’s dilapidated world, the Yan Valley, which is occupied by evil beasts, carrying the sacred gift of the gods to complete a quest against evil.
Review: Conquer is the game our parents warned us about. No, it is not too gory, nor too scary, but sadly it is skin deep beautiful. As we all know by now a game looking good is only a small part of the story especially when it comes to it being in VR, but it is at least very welcomed. The problem with this game is that there isn’t much under all that beauty. In fact, there is barely an hours gameplay here. I did like some of the action like the slashes of light and some of the bigger monster fights.
When a game costs £7.19 I don’t expect that much, but I do expect at least a few hours of gameplay. Also for that hour you will be dying a LOT as the game is too hard for its own good but not in a challenging way, more in a frustrating way. Yes, this game is worth a look, but I think you will be hard-pressed to get value for money from this game even if you managed to get it for half price. So do keep an eye out for it in the sales.
