Strive: Conquest Game Review

RPG and Management Gameplay

Strive: Conquest combines several systems instead of relying on a traditional visual-novel structure. Players recruit characters, train them, assign work, manage resources, craft equipment and build a combat party before sending that party into quests and procedurally generated areas.

The main gameplay loop is:

Recruit Characters → Train & Assign Roles → Manage Resources → Explore → Combat → Upgrade the Estate and Party

Character generation is a major part of the design. Characters can differ in race, class, traits, statistics and background, which gives the management layer considerably more depth than a simple linear RPG.

Combat and Character Building

Combat uses class abilities, mastery systems and party composition rather than a single fixed protagonist build. The large number of classes and character traits encourages experimentation with different party configurations.

Player feedback is particularly positive about the depth of combat and the feeling of discovering better combinations over longer play sessions. One long-term player described the combat as substantially deeper than the predecessor and found the class system rewarding even after dozens of hours.

Procedural Content and Replayability

Procedural generation is one of Strive: Conquest’s defining features. Characters, areas and dungeons can vary, while races, classes and traits create additional combinations between playthroughs.

This makes the game much more replayable than a conventional linear adult visual novel. The trade-off is that players have to understand a substantial number of interconnected systems before the full depth becomes apparent.

Strengths and Limitations

The strongest aspect is the combination of management, character collection and RPG combat. Public feedback repeatedly praises the depth, replayability and number of systems available, while the current build has also been described by returning players as considerably more refined than earlier versions.

The biggest weakness is accessibility. A recurring criticism is that the new-player experience can feel unintuitive, with some players needing several attempts before the systems finally make sense. Recent UI changes have also received mixed feedback, particularly around the mansion and character-management interfaces.

GameCax Review

Based on the official game information and recurring public player feedback, Strive: Conquest is best suited to players who want an adult fantasy RPG with deep management and character-building systems rather than a conventional adult visual novel.
