Ah, Pokemon
spinoff games. I recently picked up Pokemon Conquest a week ago, intrigued by the various
positive reviews on it I read online.
This
game is a simplified mix between Fire Emblem, Dungeon Dice Monsters and Civilization.
The result is a terribly addictive and unusual Pokemon experience.
In
fact, Pokemon Conquest reminds me of this obscure domain.com.au billboard located
near Flinders Street station:
“YOU’RE NOT A HOME BUYER. YOU’RE A WARLORD IN A
BATTLE FOR TERRITORY.”
(My phone camera is sucky.)
It
took the basic idea of a role-playing strategy game and turned it into
something exciting and new. Or, at least new to the Pokemon franchise.
