Conquistadors

Conquistadors is a story-driven game about a Spanish expedition in a land threatened by conflict. After your ship anchors off an island, you must work with friendly natives to defeat a mad priest who has seized the only source of fresh water and demands human sacrifices. Replenishing your provisions lets you continue the journey.

The conflict in Chipahua

In a Spanish colony besieged by the warlike Aztecs, the local ruler of Chipahua asks the conquistadors to liberate a captured village. Warriors from the crocodile tribe offer a military alliance against the locals. You must choose a side, achieve peace and find a way through the Gorge of Fear, where a new level begins.

Missions and progression

You explore locations and complete story missions. Map mode provides information about your current task. You earn experience and develop your character’s skills, which can help you recruit more warriors, use artillery, and find more gold and hearts.

Resources and skills

Gold is the main resource. At the conquistador camp, you can spend it to hire volunteers, buy food and supplies, and learn skills. Hearts can be traded with Indian tribes and used to restore your warriors’ health on the battlefield. The Aztecs do not understand the value of gold.

Two skills affect who can join your squad: “Friend of the Indians” lets you recruit warlike natives, while “Death Whistle” lets you resurrect skeletons before each battle.

Battles and your squad

Battles take place in separate locations. Before each one, you position your warriors to protect the flag. During combat, you can send them to attack or return them to their original positions, but you cannot control individual fighters.

Squad members have distinct characteristics and roles. Spearmen keep enemies from approaching, while shooters use arquebuses and crossbows. Field fortifications slow enemy advances, and fighting dogs can frighten any enemy.
