Age of Viking Conquest Reviews

Hey, considering the price, this game is totaly amazing. Crusader kings kind of like. You really must try it. Excuse the english.

Great fun! I'm enjoying it very much. I like the discovery, spying and raiding, these activities are very addictive. Capturing territory takes some planning. Watch the short and concise tutorial, it will inform your gameplay very well for a short time investment. I can tell I"m going to get many hours of enjoyment here, at a bargain price! A new game so there are a few bugs which I'm sure will get worked through. For example, in a few of my victories my army was inexplicably reduced to 0, and when I viewed the detail, it gave a goofy number (4,387,291) of units in the area! When I left the detail and looked at the map, 0 again.

A very good game. It can be quite a challenge, especially when you dont know and cant see the enemies armies. Got some good concepts in their, I like the spying / discovery aspect and feel that it makes you think about every move. Only downside that I can see is the achievements dont seem to work. After I discovered Greenland and Vinland (then conquered) I didnt get the achievement for it, nor when I conquered the Atlantic. But hey, its just achievements and doesnt take away from the fun, Well worth the £4.99

There are a few bugs. 1. Lose all your Money and Stuff when you save the game. 2. I have lost troops when moving into a certain territory. I have run across other minor bugs but the game is fun.

Interesting little strategy game. You play as one of the Viking kingdoms (the Norse, Swedes, or Danes). Not much more to it.

This is a game that I want to play. It's interesting and from the 90 minutes I've spent playing it seems like there are enough different strategies to keep me interested for a while. Unfortunately the interface is slow to draw and I had to click on each control multiple times before the game would recognise it. After an hour of clicking away like a frustated lunaticI decided to give up. (Oh! I forgot to say I tried it on two totally disimilar PCs so I don't think it's a hardware issue.)

Nice "retro feeling" strategy game, worth the price. I like the "discover and loot" philosophy of the gameplay : playing vickings is allways fun ! They are still some UI issues however , and i hope they will be corrected soon.

Very good game. Positive features include simple mechanics, aggressive and intelligent ai, graphics and gameplay that have a real feel of the period. It's also excellent value, with lots of replayability - 3 very different scenarios, 3 playable factions in each, provincial set-ups that can be randomised, multiple unpredictable events. That combination of positives is rare. I've tried scores of games but I can only think of one other that achieves the balance - for about 7 times the price! There was an initial problem about freezes in more complex scenarios, but the dveloper has now overcome that with the current version. I'm still learning tricks and tactics to make me more successful, but the fierce ai means that I haven't yet got to vinland, done a Canute on the British Isles or achieved the Rus feat of raiding into the Black Sea and the Caspian - all possible on this map.

DON'T BUY, it's broken! I was reluctant to buy this game since some reviews warned about it, but it was on sale so I thought why not try it. I mean the game is very fun to play but it's like in development stage. The straw that broke the camel's back after 8-9 hours of play was when I noticed that when I load a saved game my treasury goes to 20 (only my own saves, not the autosaves). Maybe not a big thing you say but on top of other stuff that's buggy (some mentioned in other posts) I just can't play it anymore.

Very nice little game, with some interesting concepts, already present in the previous title Colonial Conquest but largely improved, bringing some interesting and varied extra gameplay. I particularly like the exploration feature, the raiding and conquest, as well as the limited range of ships...I feel like the great Danish king embarking on the conquest of England (which I did, although not that easily). You get into the game easily (even more so if you already played the previous title) and the challenge is there. For beginners, the 850 AD scenario is probably the best (play the Danes or Swedes, Norwegians are harder) as you get a bit of everything and your starting position is a bit better than in 700. After some time you really get caught with the always pleasant "one more turn" syndrome (I even de-activated the animations to go faster). Really a no-risk buy, especially at this price point, and some very good fun. I'll be glad to give some suggestions to the devs for some minor but fun improvement they could make on that product. Good job guys!
