About Conquest of Elysium 4
✦ AI summary
Master one of 20 completely unique factions—from forest-dwelling druids to mine-obsessed dwarves—each with entirely different mechanics, goals, and magic systems as you conquer the fantasy realm of Elysium. With randomly generated maps, multiple planes running in the background, procedurally distributed rituals and spells, and constant environmental hazards, no two playthroughs are ever the same in this deep turn-based strategy game.
Conquest of Elysium 4 is a quick turn based fantasy strategy game with a touch of rogue-like. The game is full of depth, details and monsters. There are also a huge number of factions, each with its own unique gameplay and magic rituals.
The main focus in CoE4 is that each race plays differently. We're not talking about a unique building and unique unit, we're talking about completely differently, with different mechanics and different goals. Perhaps you're playing a druid, focused on amassing a vast forest and jungle empire from which to harvest ingredients to summon creatures of the woods with no practical need to conquer mines. Perhaps you're a dwarf, who's only concern are mines and produce units at a set rate every turn, focused almost entirely on upgrading those units to survive as long as possible since they are so difficult to replace. With 20 different factions that alone is enough to keep your play dynamic as you vie for control of the map to conquer Elysium.
New for the 4th version of Conquest of Elysium is the addition of different planes, many new rituals, monster descriptions, a completely new battle system, new random maps with varying temperatures and much more.
The game has six different planes. There is for instance an Infernal plane that is the home of the devils and the demons. So if a demonologist manages to summon a demon lord, there will suddenly be a dark citadel without its master in inferno. Banishing a devil will now force it back to inferno instead of slaying it permanently. Although extremely difficult it is possible to permanently destroy a demon lord by storming inferno and slaying it on that plane. Although there are many planes now you will only rarely have to visit them. But they continue to run in the background and can make certain actions or random events more exciting.
Most factions start with a random set of rituals, a random set of combat spell and together with the random map that will ensure that no two games are the same. More rituals and spells can be learned during the game if you have the right resources and find the right locations. In addition to the aggressive wildlife of Elysium there's also random events to contend with, from bumper harvests and bandits, to the very gates of the underworld opening into Elysium. Your hands will be full before you even make contact with the enemy.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
(Games I enjoy at the bottom of the list to see if this review is for you) Very overrated and odd the devs haven´t hired an UI artist and someone to fix controls. Regardless It´s very entertaining and a very simple game but with tons of different monsters to meet and fight. Most of you turns will be: Move one step,press "End turn" and then repeat.You basicly move your commander 1-2 step,recruit troops and use a spells and then mvoe attack or get attacked press end turn to see battles and what Ai do. It´s very cozy but nobody has helped with the Ui controls but still it gives you that "Just one more turn" and you just sit there and play more. So regardless of it´s poorly developed fiddly UI and the probable unwillingness of the developers to streamline it to make it more playable you still continue to play :) It´s to clunky which probably make me not go back to it if nobody release a mod that fixes the UI and controls. If you can get it on a sale for 5euro or buy it at Kinguin like I did for that price, But if it´s halfprice on Steam and you dont mind the Ui (Wow I just keep talking about that :D) then I would say Yes and since that´s what I paid. I will give it a thumbs down …
Yes
beautiful hell
Hey this is fantastic strategy game! I know there are newer versions but this is already fantastic and after this one i can move to next. Great imagination and lots of strategies involved. Also kind of idle feeling because battles are automatic which also works nice. Brilliant masterpiece.
Fun
Fun classic game
