After a couple of entries on Nintendo 3DS, the “Conqueror” series makes its comeback with World Conqueror X on Nintendo Switch. After announcing it a few days ago, Circle Ent. revealed today that it would be released pretty soon in Europe and North America: on March 8th! It will even be possible to pre-purchase it on the Nintendo eShop starting March 1st, for $9.99 / 9.99€ / £8.99 + 10% off discount.

World Conqueror X is once again set in World War II, and is said to have a “strong focus” on History. There’s multiple campaigns and dozens of battles for you to tackle, with a diverse range of troops and military units to manage. You also need utilise resources such as air defenses.

Naturally, battles are turn-based, and to add some spice to them, you need to be mindful of battlefield environments and cities. Said battles can take place on the ground, at sea, and in the air, and nothing short of a solid strategy will allow you to claim victory.

There’s a lot of things to do in order to win the war: leveling up your HQ, capturing enemy strongholds, strengthening your cities, building landmarks, and more. You can also gain access to powerful Generals, which are based upon historical figures.

World Conqueror X offers two main modes:

Scenario Mode, with Axis and Allies missions in Europe and the Pacific, with key historical battles from both sides. There are 40 missions and tutorials stages;
Conquest Mode: you start by choosing a starting point (either 1939 or 1943), a country (there’s 20 of them), and then you proceed to seek strategic and military dominance over other countries.

The game has been designed for the Nintendo Switch, offering both “traditional” controls (with buttons) and touch screen support for handheld mode.

Here’s the list of key features:

Turn-based strategic warfare based around key events from World War II.

Engage in historic battles from both the Allied and Axis perspective in Scenario Mode, with 40 battles in total.

Build your own wartime empire in Conquest Mode, choosing from over20 countries.

Develop your HQ, earning access to powerful Generals and perks to turn the tide of battle.

Consider all aspects of strategy – ground units, air and sea battles, establishing defenses and evolving your cities to boost your chances of success.

Utilise touch controls in handheld mode or use a controller for portable, desktop or TV play.
