Embark on a daring 16th-century expedition into the heart of the New World with Expeditions: Conquistador. This turn-based strategy RPG thrusts you into the shoes of a Spanish explorer facing the harsh realities of uncharted territories. Your mission: to discover untold riches, forge alliances with indigenous peoples, or conquer them to impose your will and civilization. Carefully assemble a company of over 30 unique characters, each with their own distinct personalities, beliefs, and combat proficiencies. Navigate treacherous jungles, battle deadly predators, manage dwindling resources, and make critical decisions that will shape the destiny of both your expedition and the native populations you encounter. With a compelling narrative split into two distinct campaigns and over 25 hours of engaging gameplay, Expeditions: Conquistador offers a deep and rewarding strategic experience.

The game's emphasis on player agency and the tangible consequences of choices, coupled with its intricate combat and character development systems, aligns with the kind of immersive and challenging experiences THQ Nordic often brings to players. This title demonstrates their ability to curate and publish titles that offer significant depth and replayability, appealing to a segment of their audience that appreciates thoughtful, long-term engagement over immediate action.
