Lord of the Rings: Conquest - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I played the demo. Yeah, if you're expecting any serious link to the tone and feel of the books, you're bound to be sorely disappointed. Elven archers have various arrow options, including explosive and poison gas. Wizards shoot lightning and so forth. And the Gondorian knight character can activate a flaming sword for extra damage. You get the picture.

It seems like Battlefront in LotR Movie dress. If you liked one, you might like the other. The thing with Conquest is that it seems like to really maximize your effectiveness you need to memorize attack combo button-pushing sequences, which I'm not really a fan of.

I'll be interested to see The Might's review.
