Our take on The Conquest of Go
The campaign ties territorial progress to Go matches, so its strategy layer depends on playing the board game rather than offering a separate combat system. That focus leaves less room for players seeking varied forms of tactical play.
What is The Conquest of Go?
The Conquest of Go teaches and plays Go, a two-player board game where players take turns placing stones to control territory.
Interactive tutorials cover the rules, and players can develop their skills through matches, puzzles, opening guides, and match reviews with AI feedback. A campaign turns Go matches into a contest against nations for land and resources; captured territory earns resources for abilities used in battles. Play against five included AI opponents, other players online, or a local opponent, with options for ranked, casual, live, and correspondence matches. The game also offers AI analysis, adjustable board settings, and a practice board. Steam Workshop content includes puzzles, stories, tutorials, themes, and match records, with in-game editors for stories and color themes.
