Expeditions Conquistador

I just finished the second highest difficulty on Ironman and overall it didn't end up being that bad. You pretty much use the same 6 people the whole game unless you fuck up hard, so I'd grab at least 3 healers at the start out of your 10 slots. The island was way harder then the mainland ended up being because you end up fully equipped by the time you get there unless you just skip everything. Really my only complaint about the game is once you have it figured out every battle plays out exactly the same so it gets repetitive. What story there is and the character interaction are well done.

I had no clue this had been a kickstarter and just randomly picked it up off steam, but if they have to go that route again I'd throw some money at them. It was well worth 18 bux.

Agreed, this is a great example of the power of Kickstarter. It's not AAA but they didn't ask for millions either. All told it raised $77k in the kickstarter and they didn't hit a single stretch goal. Hopefully the next game they make will get the attention it deserves so they can afford to work on it longer.

I just started playing this yesterday and so far it is fairly fun, well written and definitely gives off that Oregon Trail vibe. Good stuff.
