Songs of Conquest Launches on Nintendo Switch: Retro-Inspired Strategy Hits eShop

Coffee Stain Publishing and Lavapotion have officially released Songs of Conquest on Nintendo Switch, giving fans of classic strategy games another reason to visit the Nintendo eShop. Songs of Conquest, recognized as a spiritual successor to genre icons like Heroes of Might and Magic and Age of Wonders, masterfully combines intricate kingdom management with sophisticated tactical combat.

The game stands out for its stunning retro pixel art and deep, time-honored strategy mechanics that cater to veterans and newcomers alike.

Players are invited to choose from four distinct base factions, each offering varied playstyles and unique units, before taking command over their armies to traverse campaign stories, conquer challenging maps, and engage in satisfying battles. The Nintendo Switch version of Songs of Conquest goes beyond the single player adventure by integrating local multiplayer support.

Up to eight players can battle together, whether forming alliances to face AI opponents in co-op mode or clashing head-to-head in competitive PvP matches to determine the ultimate strategist.

This multiplayer aspect delivers a social dimension to the strategy formula, further enhancing replayability for those seeking competitive or cooperative experiences on the go. Enhancing the launch, the first downloadable content pack, Vanir, is also available on Nintendo Switch.

The Vanir DLC introduces a powerful new faction, a fresh biome to discover, and additional maps, expanding the game’s already robust content for players eager to extend their campaigns and tactical possibilities. In a statement reflecting on the game’s Switch debut, Lavapotion’s lead game designer Carl Toftfelt expressed excitement and appreciation, noting, "We realized there was one major console audience we hadn't yet reached.

Introducing Songs of Conquest to Nintendo Switch players today is an exhilarating step, allowing us to bring our tactical fantasy strategy experience to a worldwide audience." Toftfelt continued, "The support from our community has shaped the game significantly.

We are thrilled that even more players can now enjoy Songs of Conquest, and there's truly never been a better moment to dive in." Songs of Conquest is now available globally via the Nintendo eShop, priced at £24.99 or $29.99 (regional pricing may vary).

For strategy fans and Nintendo Switch users eager to revisit the golden era of turn-based tactics—augmented by modern design and online connectivity—Songs of Conquest offers an exciting new chapter for the handheld console’s growing library.
