Best Pokémon Spin-off
1 of 1 found this helpful Conquest is the unknown spin-off game of Pokémon that is an absolute blast to play. The different battle mechanics from the main series games and the lack of needing the touch screen like Pokémon Ranger makes it already an amazing thing to play. I absolutely love how the sprites and artwork of the Pokémon look and the music really grows on ya after multiple hours of gameplay. The story is definitely more unique than others and it’s very satisfying when you conquer/protect a kingdom. The only thing I have against this game is the Post-game content; which is so much longer than any Pokémon game’s post-story content. You will spend what feels like an eternity on over 30 Warlord stories and need to fulfill specific conditions in order to complete that story. The final story of Conquest is more of a victory lap since this is the first game where you can obtain and use Arceus; without any form of coding, action replay, etc. . Some mechanics make the game frustrating to play; like weather effects that hinder your Pokémon’s performance, having to get every warlord/warrior via battling across 30+ stories, and the possibility of them becoming ill or leaving your army; which is prob the worst of what can happen to you. The biggest sin this game has is no playground mode when you complete the final story. No going across any of the 30+ stories with the 17 kingdoms to have a chance to get every warrior and warlord with their perfect link without the need of story, no guarantee that they won’t suddenly leave; none of the post game mechanics that’s in Pokémon main games. You have 30+ stories to get every warrior and warlord their perfect link Pokémon and once you beat the game: you beat it. Conquest definitely deserves to be played and seriously needs a revival for just how good the game actually is.
