Songs of Conquest: Experience the Exciting Free Update and Huge Sale

Explore the New Mixed Factions Game Mode in Songs of Conquest

Songs of Conquest is a 4X game wearing its inspirations on its sleeve. Between Heroes of Might and Magic and Civilization 6, it's clear where this beloved new entry in the genre gets its framework from. That stops at the visuals though, as Songs of Conquest deftly blends stunning pixel art with modern lighting and effects.

Since launching out of early access this year, all of this has proved to be a winning combination. Now developer Lavapotion has just dropped a free update, alongside a hefty 50% off sale. So if you're yet to try the 'very positive' rated Steam strategy hit, now's the time. Songs of Conquest now has an entirely new game mode at no additional cost.

Introducing Mixed Factions

• Call upon all factions – team up with the knightly Arleons, swamp-dwelling frog people, or armies of the undead.
• Every faction and unit is yours to command, allowing for unparalleled creative gameplay.
• New army combinations generate flexible strategies and tactics.

The new game mode also means some significant changes to essence. Essence is divided into five types, helping different wielders cast spells in combat. You need to generate the resource via units themselves or at the start of your turn, and now you can create armies that generate combinations previously unattainable, according to Lavapotion.

New Maps for Mixed Factions

There are two new maps – Unexpected Allies and Under One Banner – specifically designed for the Mixed Factions game mode. These maps have quick access to multiple factions, making them the perfect testing ground for the new mechanics.

Since Songs of Conquest’s 1.0 launch earlier this year, developer Lavapotion has been incredibly busy. Update 1.2 Bridge Burner dropped in September, which improved AI turn speed, upgraded the map editor, and implemented balance adjustments.

Lavapotion has launched the Songs of Conquest Mixed Factions update on Steam for free alongside a 50% off sale until Monday, October 14. Expect to pay $17.49 / £14.75 before then. Visit Steam to grab the deal!
