Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
47 of 254 sampled reviews raised it
What sets Conquest of Go apart is the campaign mode, which softens what for beginners might otherwise be a state of disorienting confusion during matches, by using various forms of limited engine assistance to keep the game interesting.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
24 of 254 sampled reviews raised it
This approach gives players a clear sense of progression while preserving the intellectual depth that has made Go one of the world's most respected strategy games.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 254 sampled reviews raised it
Multiple AI opponents offer a broad range of difficulty levels, while advanced study tools allow deeper exploration of strategies and board positions.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
18 of 254 sampled reviews raised it
The game respects the traditions of the board game while presenting them through a modern and accessible interface.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 254 sampled reviews raised it
The UI is clean, the art style is simple, and it has nice animations that help beginners learn (e.g. if a group of stones only has 1 liberty, the stones are shown as somewhat beaten-up, and when you connect stones, it animates a bridge-like connection forming between them).
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
15 of 254 sampled reviews raised it
Using an existing go server, OGS, for multiplayer games is the only way to go, in my mind.
