)Official webpage
Tactical/Strategy RPGs with turn based combat and a dash of resource management. I played Expeditions: Conquistador with low expectations having been disappointed by another SRPG I had played (Blackguard) but it turned out to be a far more engaging experience and I had a great time. The combat in Conquistador fell into the tough start but easy late game trap but the game was enjoyable and pretty short so this was not an issue for me. The writing and setting in Conquistador both surprised me pleasantly so I have been looking forward to more from the developers. I find SRPGs to be less common subgenre so it gets a bonus on hype points from me 8.5/10 Mephala hype points.

Collect Lore and use it to strategically and persistently unlock the mysteries and mechanics of the places you find. Amass trinkets and treasure that will help you on your quest. But remember adventurer, you do this not for the riches or fame but for your village, for your realm, for the king!
