    It's a really nice game. A manual would have been nice because it takes some time and research how things work and what symbols mean. The conqueror mode has a a good zoom function that allows you to zoom out a lot to get a good overview of the world. In the scenario's I would have loved to be able to zoom out a bit more. It's great to be able to play this game without IAP!!

    This feels like playing „Historyline: 1914-1918” on the Switch and I love it. What’s missing is a multiplayer Option (online would be great but local can do it too).

    The game is awesome, with formation units and brand-new landmarks! This is by far my favorite strategy game made for Nintendo.

    In the early days I really like round based strategy games like this. I recently bought this game and I have to say the tutorial isnt very sufficient to get in the game. The missions are quite unclear to me in terms of what to achieve, what points to conquer etc. Despite that its very hard to know what all the symbols mean, how you earn money and "gears" to build units, how much damage aIn the early days I really like round based strategy games like this.

The missions are quite unclear to me in terms of what to achieve, what points to conquer etc. Despite that its very hard to know what all the symbols mean, how you earn money and "gears" to build units, how much damage a unit can deal and how fast/far it can move.

    In some missions you are playing with CPU controlled allies which do not really seem to support you. One of them for example captured my only city with a factory so I could not produce units anymore.

    Maybe I am too stupid for this game, for me it was a waste of money    … Expand

    Great game, just wish there was a better tutorial or at least explanation of How to do certain things.

    Anyone who has played strategy on a console knows how hard the genre is to port over. In fact, I'd say it generally fails in every case. World Conqueror X is actually very playable and simple.

I have the Android variant of this game and, while it is also great, it suffers from the same microtransaction mentality of nearly all mobile games. I'm happy to say, they have completely obliterated the microtransaction element in the Switch version. Instead, we get to enjoy a game with at least 20 hours of base content, not counting the endless hours of open play.

    If you like games like Hearts of Iron or any Paradox titles, I would recommend it. I just wish they had a pay version on tablet so I wouldn't have to deal with the cash grab over there. If you, like me, have played the android version and are wondering if this one is better, it is. Go for it.    … Expand

    Hearts Of Iron IV was taken and made in minimalism for a console. That is a good one, just Switch could be more valuable. The phone versions were like that because it's a phone, where there they could make something more big and interesting. Good, but not what you would like to expect from such a thing.

    If you’re looking for a more conventional strategy title to add to your Switch library, World Conqueror X is perfect for you. I think the game works best in handheld mode, as it’s not boasting the most visually appealing style.

    World Conqueror X offers a lot of content for its modest eShop price, and history fans will enjoy playing out a story which sticks as close to real-life as possible. It's not the most welcoming gameplay system, though, so novices may want to look elsewhere.

    World Conqueror X is a fun and challenging war game that is somewhat marred by a lack of proper tutorials and explanations. Riding out any early frustration will allow you to uncover a worthwhile strategy title that has many hours of content, albeit with not too much variation in gameplay.
