I am a novice Go player, who has dipped into learning Go periodically for years. I have tried bout a dozen training and learning apps, but rarely persisted. Loading screen show terminology and shapes. It has training and scenarios, multiplayer, an a campaign mod that is clever in its design. This is a unique Go implementation that uses a map based campaign mode to game-ify replay. The campaign encourages you to play and fail, but rewards you for reviewing games and ultimately revisiting lost matches. The game workshop also allows the community to share challenges and scenarios for practice. An excellent game for those wanting to earn. I highly recommend this game to anyone who wants to learn.

I'm around 2-3K and accidentally discovered "The Conquest of Go". So far I am really enjoying it and glad that I picked this up. The music is relaxing. I like the different board themes (I prefer snow atm). There are various AI engines that you can choose from (including Katago). I like that the power can be tuned down so that someone at my level can play a challenging game. But the best feature (so far) is the AI review afterwards where it analyzes the board and it gives you a chance to find the best move on moves that cost you a lot of points. It highlights the move and gives you a chance to play a better move and it will let you know if you've chose one of the few better moves that it discovered. If you choose the move AI recommended, you gain resources which can be used for various things in game. Another feature that I haven't tried yet is being able to connect to an OGS account for multiplayer. Curious to see what that's about. I also saw that there are some steam workshop additions that I haven't tried yet such as Life & Death problems, additional stories, etc. Looking forward to trying that out. Again, really glad that I picked this up. Thank you devs for making this.

So glad there is a game like this. Not only that, but it's done extremely well. Really like that I can do a quick game, that there is instruction on how to play, and that it's friendly to all skill levels. Has mods too, which is really nice.

Improving at Go, even more so than in Chess and many other combinatorically rich games, requires playing thousands of matches, developing experience and pattern recognition. Although there are many other methods of study and training, nothing can replace this basic approach. Yet, until a certain level is reached, it can be very difficult to appreciate the game's ideas, or have any sense of how to proceed. So the greatest obstacle to the developing player is finding motivation to initiate and cultivate regular play, especially at the beginning, when you feel lost and clueless. The Conquest of Go attempts to make this initiation as painless and fun as possible, and largely succeeds. Of course, unlimited access to a skilled, wise, and patient human teacher would be preferable. But most of us do not live in such an ukiyo idyll. 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. These powers must be managed as finite resources, so it doesn't feel like just cheating. Interactive game reviews, puzzles, and play-from-positions are woven in to create a varied and instructive gameplay loop with adaptive difficulty, and it's all depicted in charming dynamic maps thematically appropriate to a territory-taking game. Sure, it doesn't reach the heights of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it doesn't always feel perfectly balanced, but it is built for purpose and does its job keeping you engaged. Users can create and share illustrated dialogues to spice up the campaigns with narrative, but the design limitations keep these stories relatively perfunctory. Less unique but still appreciated is the surprisingly rich set of basic features that makes this plausibly the only Go software many will ever need: an OGS client, multiple excellent engines for competition and analysis; game records, custom puzzles, and cosmetic theming with sharing facilitated by the Steam Workshop, and more. All that said, this may not hold much appeal for those who already have a solid understanding of Go and a strong motivation to play it often without any extra gimmicks. It's unlikely to offer much to advanced players who are satisfied with other Go applications and platforms. So I recommend this primarily to those who, like me, have just begun to scratch the surface of this ancient preoccupation.

After the inclusion of the latest version of KataGo, which includes human-like AI, I heartily recommend the game if you like Go and want to play single-player. The human-like AI alone makes this game (which still receives updates from a dev who listens to feedback!) superior to its competitor, Just Go, which has stagnated. As others have remarked, many of the game's features are available for free, including the most important, such as AI analysis. Nevertheless, the packaging here is so convenient that I usually just load up Conquest of Go when I want to play single-player. (Note that you can play MP in the game too, though, if wish!) Useful options in Conquest mode, such as 'powers' that display variations, playing with an AI ally, and incentivized tsumego to 'fortify' captured provinces, contextualize individual Go matches in a progressive format that allows for expansive customization and encourages experimentation and learning.
