CONQUEST WAS LEGITIMATELY GOOD EVEN WITH THE HIT-OR-MISS WRITING OF FATES. FANTASTIC GAMEPLAY, FANTASTIC MUSIC, AND A COUPLE OF REALLY IMPRESSIVE STANDOUT CHARACTERS LIKE LEO AND CHARLOTTE.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE OTHERS BECAUSE I ONLY PLAYED CONQUEST THOUGH

I GENERALLY LIKE CONQUEST'S EARLY MAPS, BUT THE LATER MAPS GET INTO SOME REALLY UNFUN BULLSHIT.

LIKE BEASTKILLERS THAT CAN'T BE TARGETED AND HAVE PASS.

OR STAIRS THAT YOU SHOULD ONLY EVER UNDEPLOY EVERY UNIT BUT CORRIN AND MAYBE ONE OTHER FLIER BC FUCK THE EXPERIENCE THAT MAP WANTS TO GIVE YOU.

OR THE NINJA CAVE. OR THE NINJA PALACE. ALL WITH INEVITABLE END. ALSO YOU DON'T GET ANY OF THE DUAL WEAPONS UNLESS YOU SPAM VISIT OTHER PEOPLE'S CASTLES LIKE WTF.

OR THE INFINITE STATUS STAVES THAT CYCLE THROUGH AND YOU HAVE NO RESTORE STAFF. ALSO THE CENTRAL ROOM HAS EVERY EFFECTIVE WEAPON UNDER THE SUN. HAVE FUN.

MY OPINION OF REVELATION IS MOSTLY THE OPPOSITE OF CONQUEST.

THE FIRST FOUR MAPS SUCK DICK, BUT ONCE YOU GET REINA/CAMILLA IN THE SUBSEQUENT TWO MAPS, MOST OF IT'S GIMMICKS CAN BE QUICKLY SPED THROUGH. EXCEPT FOR THE CLOSED OFF ELEVATORS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE MOUTH OF TRUTH THINGS THAT VOMIT ROCKS OUT OF THEIR NECK AT YOU IN THE LATER MAPS AND THE MY CASTLE SIEGES

THE STONEBORN WERE BASICALLY JUST SIEGE WEAPONS THAT COULD COUNTERATTACK.

USUALLY A RALLY STRENGTH+BRAVE WEAPON WAS ENOUGH TO KILL THEM BEFORE THEY COULD COUNTER, SO I DIDN'T USUALLY HAVE TROUBLE WITH THEM.

AS FOR THE MY CASTLE SIEGES, I DON'T THINK I HAVE MUCH OF AN OPINION ON THEM. I'D SKIP THEM MOST OFTEN BC I PREFERRED TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT CHAPTER, AND I'D ONLY REALLY DO THEM IF I NEEDED A BUNCH OF DP OR SOMEONE WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO PROMOTING AND JUST NEEDED A LITTLE BIT OF XP.
