I'm new to Go and have been looking for a game that makes learning the ropes fun. I own both Just Go and Conquest of Go, and while I enjoy both, if I had to choose, Conquest of Go is the clear winner. The developer has been actively improving the game, adding cool new features, and encouraging community engagement, while Just Go seems to have been abandoned with no further updates. The game itself is a fresh and exciting take on Go. The Steam Workshop integration is a fantastic way to add and share new puzzles, custom boards, and more, keeping the experience fresh. The soundtrack is relaxing yet motivating, every time I load up the game, I feel like a medieval king conquering enemy lands! The OSG integration and review mode are amazing! Feature Requests: - The ability to play Tsumego/puzzles in a random order. - A story mode of some sort. Who are we? A young king looking to grow their kingdom, or maybe a young general looking to prove themselves. - A career/tournament progression mode where you climb from a complete beginner 25kyu on a 9x9 board all the way up to a single digit player on a 19x19. - A more in depth review mode. Right now it only covers 3 or so mistakes per game. - The ability to auto add your mistakes, from the review mode, into a custom Tsumego review list If you're a fan of Go, this game is a 10/10, definitely worth playing!

It's a very approachable, lightweight and customizable gamification of my favorite classic board game. The campaign mode itself is fun, with widely scalable difficulty (there's multiple different AI engines to choose from, each with difficulty sliders, along with all the clock and handicap options). You capture territory on the campaign map, earn resources, and can then spend said resources to buy meta moves such as a score estimate or an undo. You can also use the resources to purchase legendary game records from famous IRL players to view, if interested. There's some tsumego to do in-between the games, which is a fun change of pace. I also really enjoy the fact that you can pit two AI's against each other to follow along how they play, and you can import your own SGF-files to view within the game. Pretty much everything I could ask for with regards to keeping my old hobby easily approachable. Thank you developer :)

Review in March 2025... This is a delightful piece of software. Highly recommended! To be clear, almost all of its individual components can be found free online: - A pleasant introduction to Go/Baduk - Playing Go/Baduk against AI in stand-alone software - Playing Go/Baduk against people or AI on the OGS server - "Life and Death" Puzzles - A library of famous games to review and learn from - A library of opening moves and variations/joseki - Using AI to review your games to focus on 1-3 key moves you made needing analysis and improvement - Using AI as you play to see recommended options, estimate score, etc. - A "sandbox" mode to use when you have a book of tsumego problems and laptop but no physical set with you The only component that to my knowledge is not freely available elsewhere is an interesting "partner mode" for beginners where you and AI take turns making moves, sharing control of one player. Anyway, with so much available elsewhere what you are actually paying for with Conquest of Go is the overall experience. It is BEAUTIFUL visually and with its music. It is CONVENIENT to have all those resource listed above in one place. And it has PEDAGOGICAL BALANCE with a "campaign mode" that does not require us (but highly encourages us) to devote time to playing, analysis, and puzzles in similar proportions to well-established learning programs (such as GoMagic.org). If you enjoy Go/Baduk and will be playing on a laptop/desktop the cost-per-hour for this software will become insignificant. Tangential note: If you are a brand new beginner, I also recommend the free classes on GoMagic.org up through "The Fundamentals of Go on 13×13 — Remake" because that video/quiz curriculum is well-designed and compliments what this software teaches, to help beginners avoid making common mistakes so they have more fun.

This review is from a Go newbie; never played before purchasing this game. So if you are an experienced player, skip this review. Basic features, [*]Play by Japanese, Chinese, or Korean rules. [*]Set a handicap value (playing against the Casual AI doesn't allow a handicap of 1). [*]Set a Komi value (scoring advantage for white, since black plays first). Can be set in 1/2 point increments, for those of us who hate ties. [*]Different board layouts. [*]Numerous board sizes including 9x9, 13x13, & 19x19. [*]Match review: Game will show your 3 worst moves, and suggest what you should have done. It's actually 4 games: [*]Match play against 1 of 4 computer opponents. The 'easiest' is allegedly Casual AI , which gives a hard time with a zero handicap. [*]Play against human, online. Haven't tried this yet. [*]Puzzles in the Steam workshop. Found a good set of 10,000 of these. And there are probably other sets. [*]Campaign mode. 4x game, where the player wins military battles, by winning Go matches. Though the review feature is helpful, it doesn't explain WHY the suggested move is better than the one that you played. That feature becomes useful, as you understand the game. Campaign mode : Went through the tutorial, and decided it's not for me. (Funny thing, this feature was a big selling point, at the time of purchase.) Graphics are an eye sore; I'm a graphics snob. And if I want 4x, I have GalCiv4 & Warhammer: Gladius , which do a great job at scratching that gaming itch. Also, the AI opponent is progressive: When the player wins a match, the difficulty increases for the next match, unlike normal match play. So what should a Go novice buy this game? : [*]Excellent control over starting parameters. Easy to fine tune a difficulty level, suitable to your skill. [*]Very clean UI. Hadn't touched this game in over 2 years, and had no trouble resuming play. [*]Review feature. Learn from the mistakes that you made in a match. [*]Puzzles: Great way to improve is play matches against the AI AND solve puzzles. [*]Supportive developer: Even after having purchased the game almost 3 years, he still answers questions on the forum. [*]AI is not progressive. Want to play against a tougher AI opponent? YOU increase difficulty, vs. having the game do it automatically. [*]Some of the board layouts are very crisp & high contrast. Didn't realize how good the contrast was until I bought a real Go set.

I've wanted to learn to play Go for years and this game is finally helping me to put the time in necessary to get comfortable with the game. The graphics are beautiful, the sound is great. It makes playing the game a lot more enjoyable. I love the game-review feature where they show you your worst moves and ask you if you can guess what the best move was. Update after playing the game more: the more I play this the more I am blown away by how well it is made. This is a brilliant introduction to Go. The "Fortification puzzles" (simple Go puzzles) are really helping me to spot basic patterns for capturing groups. There are so many features in this game that help me to better learn the game. This game should be way better-known, IMO it should be reviewed on war game sites.
