Expeditions: Conquistador

Expeditions: Conquistador is a turn-based strategy RPG set in 16th-century America, where Spanish explorers and soldiers seek gold, fame and adventure in a dangerous wilderness. You lead an expedition through jungles and other locations, manage resources, hunt for riches and fight battles. Its story spans two campaigns and more than 25 hours.

The expedition

You choose followers from a cast of more than 30 characters, each with their own traits, opinions and moral standards. Train recruits as they develop into battlefield veterans, then lead them into battle. Your choices can reshape the history of the Conquistadors: you can form diplomatic alliances with native peoples or use force against them.

Explore and fight

Travel through the New World, searching jungles for mystical temples and ancient ruins. When diplomacy fails, adapt your tactics to varied terrain across more than 70 battlefields. Careful planning and resource management are central to surviving the wilderness, where hunger, disease and dangerous predators pose threats.

Difficulty and multiplayer

Four highly customisable difficulty levels offer challenges for new and experienced players. Iron Man mode is a particularly demanding option. For tactical player-versus-player combat, you can challenge friends in Hot Seat mode or via TCP/ICP.
