Coffee Stain Publishing and Lavapotion have announced that Songs of Conquest enters Early Access soon.

While Songs of Conquest enters Early Access on May 10th, the throwback strategy/adventure game will be available for Windows PC and Mac via the Epic Games Store, GOG, and Steam.

Songs of Conquest is a love letter to classic strategy adventure games from the ’90s like Heroes of Might and Magic. Explore a fantasy world using armies led by powerful magic users called Wielders. Upgrade your town, expand your territory, and crush rivals in turn-based battles. Control the old knights of Arleon, the swamp-dwelling creatures of Rana, the undead legions of Loth, or the industrious mercenaries of Barya.
