Conquest (+ all maps) Reviews

Be sure to set speed to max, as well as AI, great to pass time.


Yes, Im a 70 year old grandmother who played RISK (copyrighted) back in college! Staying up half the night, forming alliances, etc. And still have the board game in a closet! When Sean OConnor came out with Conquest (copyrighted) on the computer, it was the first game we ever purchased! And transferred from upgrade to upgrade. And then there were phones, and then iPads! Thank you, Mr. OConnor for providing us and our husband with hours upon hours of fun and competition through the years. We’ve downloaded several of your word games as well and they are challenging. They keep our mind sharp. And, youve never gouged us with in-app purchases! You are a true gentleman! Thank you, thank you, thank you!


Hi Please undo this latest update. It makes the game take forever. We hate it.


This is a good game. Many imaginative map, could see author names all the tiles also. The mechanism of the game is simple but fun. However we felt the AI is too simple, and the game becomes unchallenging. For those who want to know the winning strategy against AI, here is our ideas (original setting, other configurations are simple too): 1. Be a nomad. Accumulating your army in a single tile, attack zero defense territory to gain card bonus. While AI attacking each other constantly to reduce their total army, your vastly strong army with one tile will be ignored by all AI. When the time is ripe you just be an assassin, kill a player or grab a weak province and fortify it, accumulating your higher income. To be a nomad you need to search a tile that have good transportation power, to reach many other tiles (your grassland) easily. 2. Be a land tycoon. In some map the key is not win a province, but just grab as many territories to gain 1 army per 3 tiles. This you need to notice the AI interests by seeing where they attack. And then you attack the land where no one interests. To secure your land you eliminate weak colors leaving only 2 or 3 neighbors. 3. This is by far the simplest, in the beginning just find a province that is very easy to defense, and accumulating your army to conquer that province. In world map its obviously Australia. After conquering just wait, as your income is higher than others, and they are constantly war each other to undermine their army. Then slowly crouch out, expanding. As you can see, the AI is stupid. It lacks the big picture. They cant see whom is threaten all of them and be unified against that color. They just constantly war each other without knowing the number of total army. When one AI is hugely advantageous the AI doesnt know how to properly grow and attack, and their army is useless. Their actions are often bizarre. So we would suggest adding online multiplayer server, so we can play real persons, that will be way more challenging. Also please add new maps, you have a lamb world map which only contains 42 territories. Why not combine the map of US, China, Europe, Middle East, Africa, etc, to build a vast world map? That will be very cool. Also in the end game where your army and land is way superior please add the function to auto attack all remaining land and win. So we dont need to click all the land and do the boring work. Also in some map its unclear where is the border of province, and what is a provinces output.


This is an app we play a lot. Definitely worth the price. We had a problem with a download and the developer helped right away. Definitely recommend it.


Well done fixing the bug one day post release! – we’ve been playing conquest for years on all our apple devices. Clocked well over 2000 games, really enjoy it. The hardest mode is fair (still easy if you know how to win – Australia!), we don’t know why everyone complains about losing to dice roll when it’s just random rolls. More pieces you have for attacking better odds of winning.


MY ARMIES KEEP RANDOMLY DISAPPEARING, we play with max computers on hardest difficulty and it really dampens an attempt to take a continent when 14 armies VANISH. Please fix this, happens almost every game at least once.


Please fix as this is such a fun game, may has to do with recent iPhone update.


We’ve spent a lot of time on this game. Dev updates a lot for such a simple game. Very much appreciate what you do. Cheers.


The new update doesnt show the number of armies next to the cards. It is hard to play without that. Please fix it.


We’ve played this game for many, many years, back when one could even create their own map! We play this game daily, and we love it. The improved AI is appreciated! The only improvement we would request would be an option for faster play. E.G. – Extreme Fast where there is no animations for battles, the AI runs as fast as the processor will allow. We have an 8 minute walk from our parking lot to the office. Up until recently, we could complete a fairly large map as we walked into the office, we no longer can. I’d really like to see this improvement as this has been a great way to get our mind going in the mornings! Keep up the great work, thanks again!!!


We’ve owned this app for years. The previous updates made us almost remove the app from our phone. With this version the UI is improved, the dice rolls are fair and the AI is better. We’ve fallen in love all over again. Now please don’t mess it up.


Thanks for listening for user "requests" to make the new animations optional. This new version is better than ever. We are going to download another one of you apps and make some in app purchases as a thank you. Again, we would gladly pay for more maps as well :-)


This is by far the most used app on our phone. It is super fun and perfect for killing time. Everyone that sees us playing asked what it and wants to play!


We have played this for years. The animation made it so much slower but now they fixed it and game plays fast again. Keep up great work and look forward to new maps.


Thanks for fixing the animations. Back to being our favorite game… Maybe some new maps next?


We want to start by saying this is our favoriate game on the iPhone. We play it all the time. Because of this we usually play large maps with all users enabled with growing bonus points. Because of this and if we’re not initially aggressive bonuses can grow to 40,000+. These games usually last months for us. Since 5.0 was introduced, it takes so long for the annimations to play out as the armies get larger, our phone goes to sleep while we’re waiting for our turn. Not a big deal, but it means we’re waiting a long time between turns and the game isn’t fun to play anymore. I’d love a way to turn off animations so its quicker between turns. Also an all button would be appreciated with placing armies. 40000/100 is a lot of taps:) UPDATE: Love the new "fast" mode. We can play the game again:) Updated rating!


The current version has a huge bug! It keeps deleting troops! Just huge amounts of troops will suddenly disappear and the effect is 0. Please fix this with an update.


Basically the only game we have on our iphone. We constantly get asked what game we are playing when people see us using this on a plane. Love this game but the animations in the update make playing very slow. Attack All shouldn’t result in having to count down hundreds of armies. Like many other posts would welcome making animations an option.


Favorite iPhone game ever. Sorry Sean, but new update makes it take entirely too long to attack or defend when going "all-in". Please allow us to revert back to "classic" mode or something.


Please add an option to remove the additional graphics. Slows down play and makes it less enjoyable.


The latest update increased the animations and made playing extremely slow. Can we please have an option to remove these animations? Otherwise the game is fantastic. Removing one star for the slowdown in gameplay.


We have loved this game for years but this latest update moves the map around so much while the computer is placing armies that it causes motion sickness. PLEASE fix this ASAP!


We hate the new sound effects; the clicking and gasping gets on our nerves. We love playing this game but we had to surrender to stop the noise.


The August 2017 release with new animations is painfully slow. Had to revert back to last version until this is made optional.


Recent update is terrible! Slows down the game and makes it obnoxiously more difficult to follow. Fail! The review below was originally submitted by us 7 years ago: Not bad, it’s a fun game and fairly addicting. Our only negative is that the AI opponent is just not good enough. It’s a bit of a challenge at first, but after a few games, you can beat them pretty much every time.


You ruined our favorite game. The added animations make the game impossible for us to watch. Plus the fact that they add nothing to our game play just makes them extra annoying. If there was an option to turn them off or have a "classic" mode it would have been fine, but we don’t get that option here. Really disappointing.


Latest update is VERY disappointing, disappointing and annoying.


First time we have ever written a review. We’ve been playing Conquest for a long time (years) and the recent upgrade is a disappointment. The animations are too over-the-top, and slow down game play (I’m on an iPhone 7 and have game play set at "Very Fast".) we play to speed through battles – not to watch dice flash and roll, and to watch armies attack, or to watch opposing armies advance. That doesn’t add to game play, or build suspense, or help one determine strategy. It just drags the whole game down. Maybe on slower speed settings that would be ok, but for those wishing to play quickly it would be great if removing all the animation was an option. Wish we could uninstall this upgrade and go back to the previous version. Great game with a terrible upgrade that destroyed game play.


Well done! Love this game! Been playing it like a mindless fiend for years whenever we need a quick game fix!


Outstanding game as far as no pop up ads, no buy this buy that. Just skill and endless fun. Best of all does not equine wifi or any connection at all. While flying numerous people can’t believe game doesn’t try to sell you anything. We’ve seen numerous people downloading game for their pleasure. Thank You Sean O’Conner!


But we need more maps! I’d happily pay. 99 cents per map?


Can you make a game board that is all the countries of the world with the nations name listed. It would be great for learning all the countries names.


This app has been on our phone longer than any other. It is periodicals updated with new maps and has a new UI. Five stars because we believe in you.


This is the board game risk on steroids. Love it to death. Fantastic app.


We’ve only ever paid for two games. This is one. (The other is dungeon raid). Excellent. Love the map variety. Addictive.


We really like the game its pretty awesomr but we want you to notice that you need to add some more maps like Latinamerica!


We have been following this developer’s software for years, and we love how awesome and playable his games are!!! Conquest is our favorite Risk-like strategy game on the iOS platform!! Excellent work!! Update: It just gets better and better! New updates!!!


We enjoy this game, and if it cheats, it at least does so in a consistent manner. We are definitely getting better as we play. We feel like our ego is just about ready to upgrade the AI from average to expert. We particularly enjoy the Spaceship map, partly because it appears to be modeled on the Serenity from Firefly, partly because we enjoy the narrative of fighting quadrant by quadrant for control of a ship, and partly because we stumbled on a winning strategy for the level. Lots of great playing options.


Pretty solid risk like game. Our go to. While maybe not as polished as the "name brand" game, the difficulty settings are better. With the "Official" game the A.I. Is the same no matter the difficulty settings. Harder difficulty only means worse starting countries. The game developer here did not take the lazy route for A.I. The higher difficulty levels do provide a more challenging opponent. Our few quibbles with the game are that it doesn’t provide an even more challenging A.I. If you are a solid Risk player, you shouldn’t have much difficulty in winning 70-75% of your games with on the highest difficulty setting. A little better graphics or polish would be nice too, but not a big deal. We don’t know if I’d pay the current price of $9.99, but we bought this in 2009, for a few bucks and still play it to this day.


Even on novice, we have had computer opponents beat us within the first move of the game before we have a turn to play. There should be something in the programming to avoid that situation and maybe ease up a bit on the "lower level AI"


We have an iPhone 6S and every time there is an update the game seems to slow down. One of the great benefits of this game is being able to move through AI turns really quickly. But now even placing the armies in the first step of the game seems to take forever to get around everyone. If this game speeds back up to light speed, we are a happy guy!


Not random dice. The computer will always win. If you can live with rolling 32 1s in a row you’ll be ok. Whoever programmed this game is not so sharp. We finished one game rolling 953 1s, 813 2s, 845 3s, 799 4s, 735 5s & 689 6s. We lost a battle with 65 armies to 12 armies. The computer then went on to crush our armies with us losing more than 200 to the computers 45. Pathetic game. Update: game creator messaged us. He told us he designed the dice to have error in favor of the computer in order to encourage offensive attack by the player.


The concept is great, who doesn’t love Risk, but the AI is junk & the dice randomization is painful to watch.


Don’t waste your time. Same sloppy programming from Sean OConnor.


The dice favoring the ai needs a counter balance, plus the ai teaming up needs a toggle.


Very suspicious dice rolling and numbers for computer players. Just played and opponent had 8 men on a territory. Only 2 cards so no turn in capability and a total of 6 territories so theoretically computer player only gets 3 men at start of turn. Next tuen player has 20 men on what was 8 man territory and 1 card remaining. Sorry…. No way Jose.


As has been the case since this app first came out, the dice rolling is just ridiculous. The computer needs to play smarter, not win rolls by ridiculous odds, (lose 21 to 2, over & over). The way the dice rolls wound NEVER happen Also, the computer teams hardly ever attack each other when it matters.


Thanks for bringing back the awesomeness of conquest!!! Our favorite game again!!!
