Expeditions: Conquistador Review

Destructoid has published a new, positive review for the indie Kickstarter-funded Expeditions: Conquistador, which was awarded an 8.5 out of 10 by the publication. Here's a snippet from the writer's concluding thoughts:
Expeditions: Conquistador is a hard game, because being alive during the time in which it takes place was hard. It's no easy feat to survive the harsh wilderness with an entire team depending on you for treatment and food, all the while waging war on enemy troops and unpredictable bandits.

I do wish that the game eased up a bit in the early-goings instead of using the trial-by-fire approach that seems to be in place currently, as such an approach would've allowed the player to get better acquainted with the deep and intelligent battle system. At the very least, Conquistador's acceptance of player failure makes it possible to experience its excellent writing.
