Worthy of the name conquest

When you look for a game like this, you have to review it accordingly; you have to enjoy war-base simulation that requires strategy and patience. If you enjoy the idea of clever plotting, strategic choice, and eventual victory or defeat of an empire, then you have found the game to capture your interest. With a selection of six historical European empires, it grants the player the opportunity to seize a moment of history and become the cause and effect of a battle’s outcome. Every choice can be detrimental to the eventual outcome of victory or defeat. The choices that a player makes are placed around the efficient use of tactical cards, intelligent placement of armies, proper defenses for a player’s fortress, and proper risk-analysis. Each of these choices play a vital role toward how successful a player will be in this game. The selection of 16 different tactical cards open up several choices of play style, allowing technique to be honed around personal preference. Granted, luck will play its part in this game, as it does in all games, there is a large reliance on strategy to truly find a favorable outcome. This game has multiple play styles: Single player, Multiplayer, and Pass ‘n’ Play, in addition to 3 AI difficulties that allow players to gradually improve and become more skilled opponents. If you are looking for a game that you can get absorbed into playing, experience competition, and continuously improve, then you have found it. This game will capture your interest, broaden your horizons on strategy, and give you a new taste on the idea of victory. If you love strategy-themed games, this will be right up your alley.

Strategy game where chance and choices matter

I like games like Age of Empires. In that Classic RPG, you have strategy and skill that determine your outcome. Fortress Conquest is designed in a similar vein for iPhones and similar portable electronic devices. It's a pocket strategy conquest game that you can take anywhere. Like AOE, you can solo against the bot or go against multiple players, such has friends. In either scenario, your sole objective is to be the last man / country standing. You must capture all of your enemies’ fortresses using your army and army maneuvers. Your wit will make you outlast and outlive! What makes this game challenging is that there are so many options to choose from. You must choose what army you'd like to be: 1 out of 6. You must choose the placement of your fortresses (e.g. Random or not). You can even make things more difficult for yourself by having your land occupied when you start! You must choose the enhancement cards you will use on your army. Pick what type of attack you will plan and where you will position your armies for greatest advantage. In multi nationality games, you can even form truces with specific allies. You know the saying: the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The game though does require some learning initially. Thankfully, there is a small tutorial in the beginning when you start. I would follow that and try the solo play verses a computer before you compete in earnest against friends. Many options are activated by touch. Finally, I have found a strategy game I can play on the road! I am happy.

Game locks up and support page does not open. A refund would be appreciated.

Finally a good portable conquest game!

If you like war games and simulations you'll love this one. I already have Castle Risk, but am a sucker for a good stratgy game, and Fortress Conquest fits the bill. I really like the portability -- and the amount of customisation possible -- from the number of players to the cards and territories you start with. This was one of those easy to learn, tough to master games that keeps you guessing, with enough cards and options to keep you on your toes. Recommend for anyone who likes a challenge and knows their history! A few tips to get your started -- you can really impact the difficulty (and therefore the length and enjoyability of the game) with your initial settings. If you need a quick game, choosing easier difficulty and more strategic opening positions and strongholds will work. If you need more of a challenge, then you can ramp up the difficulty and even start out in a poor position where you'll really need great strategy to work your way out. Multiplayer worked great on the iPad and the graphics made everything clear -- it was easy to keep track of which armys were whose and what territories everyone held each turn. I love Risk but it isn't exactly portable -- FC is perfect for on the go conquering!

Frivolous waste of $5.00

All the buttons are to small, you have to click on them five or six times just for them to respond. When you zoom in it takes you directly to the center of the board instead of ware you are trying to zoom in to. I was kicked out at least six times to my iPod home page and also lost the game that I was eight turns into making me have to start a new one. I am completely dissatisfied with this game, and if I could return it and get my money back I would do it in a heart beat.

Just like the board game.

I have the board game that was discontinued in the 90s and this game is almost exactly the same. 4 stars because it could be a little bit more refined.
