We’ll have a lot of features that will make our game unique, but I think at the moment the two biggest ones are our concept of build sites and “the essence”. What are the features that’ll make your game unique? Songs of Conquest takes inspirations from games like HoMM and King’s Bounty, an aging genre that’s been in need of “fresh blood”. That kind of direct and instant communication is pure gold! The discord server we have is also a lot of fun. I mostly hang out on Twitter, but that’s also what’s so nice about being on multiple social media platforms - they all have different characteristics, so you can kind of pick one that suits you the most. I did not expect that at all!Īnd our community is growing by the day, and getting to discuss, share content and finally talk about the game is absolutely wonderful. A personal highlight was when Sean Plott said at the end that Songs of Conquest was the game he was most looking forward to.

It feels amazing! Showing our trailer at the PC Gaming Show was a huge motivational boost for us, especially after getting such positive response. You and the whole Lavapotion team must be so proud! So, how does it feel, having so many people discover your game for the first time through the biggest event of the year? Hi Niklas, and welcome to our Coffee Break! Songs of Conquest was unveiled at E3, and instantly garnered a lot of attention. Grab a mug of your favorite beverage, and let’s hear him tell us a tale of heroic deeds!
#SONGS OF CONQUEST E3 LICENSE#
We were very lucky to have an in-depth discussion with Niklas, co-founder & lead programmer, and learn more about this upcoming strategy game inspired by the beloved license Heroes of Might and Magic.
That indie game, you’ve probably seen it, drooled a little in front of your screen, and been dying to know more! A game of war, a game of pride, a game of songs for those fallen and those who survived: Songs of Conquest from Swedish studio Lavapotion. During the PC Gaming Show, such a thing happened: A short trailer of 1:24 got everyone talking - even Sean “Day9” Plott sang its praises! Yet, sometimes, a game comes along and unanimously wows the crowds. Now, if you’re indie, the task is Sisyphean!
#SONGS OF CONQUEST E3 FULL#
The biggest video game event of the year is so packed full of announcements - each shows gotta be louder, better, brighter than the previous one - that standing out is a difficult feat to achieve. Three times an “E” to have players shaking with anticipation, medias feverish with the task to come. With Ubisoft no longer fulfilling that particular niche, it made sense that another studio would set up to the plate. There’s still room in the industry for a new entry in the turn-based strategy adventure genre, with the well-reviewed Might & Magic: Chess Royale missing the mark when it comes to the full experience a player could have in the franchise’s previous iterations. Playing solo is fun, but one of the core elements of Might & Magic is being able to play with others players – something that Songs of Conquest is now fulfilling. It is not unexpected that an independent publisher has stepped into the role of being the next Might & Magic clone. Songs Of Conquest Is Already The Best Heroes Of Might & Magic Clone Songs of Conquest is not just a mere clone of the Might & Magic games, though, and should stand on its own as a worthy new entry in the genre.
Coffee Stain and developer Lavapotion have shown they not only listen to their players but work to maintain their games with hotfixes and updates to keep things fresh and exciting. Longtime players of Might & Magic disappointed by the series’ recent lack of multiplayer should find Songs of Conquest a suitable replacement.
