Conan Unconquered
Assemble a massive army, build an unconquerable base, and send your heroes out to fight and explore. From the Command & Conquer veterans at Petroglyph comes the first ever survival RTS set in the savage world of Conan the Barbarian. Play solo or team up in multiplayer in Conan Unconquered’s action-packed co-op Mode where you build a shared stronghold and fend off the hordes together. The people of Khoraja flourished during its years of peace and prosperity. But they also turned lazy and feeble. The devious and tyrannical wizard Thugra Khotan looks to seize this opportunity and is marching his army to claim your kingdom as his own. You must awaken your people from their apathy, you must build your city defenses and fend off armies of attacking monstrosities. How long will you be able to stand against the invading hordes? Play solo or with a friend in the intense and action-packed multiplayer Co-op Mode. Choose between four different heroes, including Conan, with their own special abilities. Research new technology to build more advanced structures and improve your defenses. Randomly generated maps ensure that every playthrough is unique.

Hm, it is an RTS game, sure enough. But why does everything take so long?
I like the Conan Universe, which I sadly do not know nearly enough about. Sadly this game, as special as it is with its economy system, it does not tell enough it.
This is, of course, moved to a nicely made comic in the main menu, but is it enough?
No cutscenes, no dialogs, every mission is the same formula: Build a base, raise some walls, and defend against waves of attackers. The attackers thereby only consisting of... maybe 12 different kinds of units. Not much and since you have a lot of walls, towers and choke points, each unit does not need anything as big strategy. Just tank it with your walls. And shoot it with arrows.
I tried different kinds of units, but only archers, of any kind really made a difference. The melee fighters are basically dead meat and cavalry only matters in larger numbers and on large rhinos. The main reason why you are not encouraged to is the amount of gold you are getting. You really need a big city to sustain it all and that takes time. And the time is not given, since you are only getting ressources every 24 seconds or so.
Well I could go on. But I did get to enjoy some of it since I love RTS and hero based combat. It was fun to explore the build up and find out how things worked.
But since a single mission takes over an hour and you rarely do anything it can be quite boring after a while.
The graphics and music are fine and exciting. I did not encounter any bugs or glitches and the models are nicely designed, fitting for the universe.
Finished the main game and the Belit's Fury DLC in a little over 20 hours on easy mode, since hard is really that. Hard.

good game but the AI pathing is horrible i mean really really bad heroes and units go miles out of the way to get somewhere right in front of them these people should be ashamed of themselves for not doing anything about this crap

A great strategy game leaps and bounds beyond the command and conquer series. So much detail and built in strategy with new resource mechanics to say the least. Details and fine tuning galore after the great game first came out. A hidden gem for those who like the strategy battles and this one goes back to prehistoric eras. Primitive technologies instead of modern or future tech. you know they had to inject so many interesting hooks to keep our attention. What talent there was to make this one a reality.

Very fun, but also ruthless and fast-paced. Not good for someone who likes to plan out perfect settlements and watch them grow. You build cities in this game to watch them burn in the later waves of enemies. The last mission (Black Colossus) took me several attempts. Pretty faithful to the REH story in most ways (I still haven't ever summoned the big walking-Mitra statue thing), and good for a quick Conan gaming fix. Including a comic is a neat touch, but an ending cinematic would have been nice.

I was hesitant given the reviews but this game is really fun. It is hard but very balanced and as you progress through the levels you get exposed to new aspects of the game. Almost done the core levels and my only complaint so far is that it would be great to have a few more levels.Also nice choice of four heroes with different powers.
