Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a tightly guided campaign may find the focus on random maps and variable starting conditions less suited to that preference.

- Players seeking direct, hands-on combat as the central activity may prefer a game built around controlling units in battle.
Our take on Conquest of Elysium 5
The page emphasizes faction variety and changing game setups, but gives little detail about the turn-to-turn interface or how battles are conducted. Its examples explain strategic goals more clearly than the moment-to-moment play.
What is Conquest of Elysium 5?
Conquest of Elysium 5 is a turn-based fantasy strategy game with roguelike elements.
Choose from 24 factions, each with different mechanics, goals, and ways to use magic. Druids can build forests and jungles to gather ingredients for summoning woodland creatures, while dwarves focus on mines and improving units that are difficult to replace. Games use randomly generated maps and factions begin with random selections of rituals and combat spells. Resources and locations can unlock more spells and rituals. The game has ten planes, including Inferno and the sky-realm, where armies and events can affect Elysium. Players can travel to islands using boats and ports, and contend with independent factions, monsters, and random events.
