    Legends of Eisenwald is one of the biggest and most pleasant surprises that we engaged with this summer. Intriguing storytelling, thrilling plot twists and ambiguous morale decisions are wrapped up in an excellent medieval/ feudal environment. The simple yet addictive turn based battle system, the many upgradeable military units and a well built economic system, raise the game’s status to “totally recommended” for the genre’s fans.

    Legends of Eisenwald will certainly offer tens if not hundreds of hours of fun for those who are willing to understand its world and mechanics, and it will be interesting to see how the team at Aterdux expands the formula of the game in the future.
  3. Every aspect of the game could stand to be improved a little: economic system is superfluous, leveling is hard at the beginning and much easier towards the end, and it’s always weird to take a castle with just a bunch of soldiers. But the atmosphere trumps everything. After all, it’s been a long time since anyone tried to make an RPG in at least quasi-historical setting. [Sept 2015, p.66]

    Strong storytelling and sheer novelty make guiding Heinrich and his pals around the dark forests of old-time Deutschland enthralling...even if you do miss the magic missiles and elves every so often.

    Medieval RPG strategy, which is not exactly spotless, but under its spots the efficient and sturdy tactical core is hiding.

    The game really never settles on what it is or what it wants to achieve - and with a story that is often confusing (or entirely forgettable),the good bits fail to shine through.

    Legends of Eisenwald tries hard to challenge the competition. But as a roleplaying game it is either corny or boring while the turn based tactics are standard respectively borderline uninteresting.

Combat system seems to be simplistic but once you meet challenging opponent you see there's quite a few layers of complexity there. Actually much more complexity than in Disciples. And huge nonlinear story for many hours of play.

    Indie dev = some tech flaws here and there - but they deserve your support more than majors that just make 'samegame345'. And, as I can see, LoE devs try to provide support for everyone on forums.

    And, btw, full map and scenario editor! Like that was for HOMM 1-3. Hope for free new maps from community.

И вот сегодня закончил. Впечатления переполняют. Удивительно правдоподобный средневековый мир, продуманная боевка и система апгрейдов, потрясающий сюжет и хардкор, хардкор и еще раз хардкор. По сравнению со всеми вышедшими за последние пару лет играми - однозначно шедевр, большей частью к сожалению незамеченный большинством. Лучше в любом случае, чем даже Столпы Вечности, которая как ни крути, является красивым ширпотребом с претензией на олд скул. Рекомендую от всей души, а разработчикам огромное спасибо и желаю всяческих успехов. И пошел проходить игру теперь за мага. Expand

    Okay, it's a difficult game, which looks like generic, but it is a original piece of indie art.

    What's good: * incredibly crafted sound
    Okay, it's a difficult game, which looks like generic, but it is a original piece of indie art.

    What's good:
    * incredibly crafted sound (actually the first time I hear such a cool sound in a game of this type)
    * the perfect untypical story, which is combined in a web of legends (like the name of the game - "legends...")
    * rich tactical opportunities (lost myself in the gameplay!)

    What is wrong:
    * UI looks awkward sometimes.

    I played it on spanish language and it's perfectly translated. Furthermore, this game has the possibility of create your own scenarios.

I am 23 hours into game and I have to say, this game is very well made.

    Story: 9.5
    Mechanics: 8.5 (for being unique)

    Overall I gave it 10. This game has unique battle system and good story line.

    Rip off Mount and Blades map and Disciples combat. Which would be great if ...

    Pro: - Combat is fun, simple but fun - Music is nice
    Rip off Mount and Blades map and Disciples combat. Which would be great if ...

    Pro:
    - Combat is fun, simple but fun
    - Music is nice

    Con:
    - Very slow movement, it's so annoying I am falling to asleep
    - Very linear gameplay and story, you have to do quests all the time to meet some enemies to fight, otherwise there is nothing to fight at all
    - No fantasy aspects at all or only few like healers (with only limited spells, heal, buff, debuff)
    - Very dumped down leveling of hero with almost uselless skills, I had hard time to choose any becouse all are so bad, that's provide zero motivation to leveling hero or even play (hero does 50 atack and skill add whooping bonus of 2, facepalm)
    - Units are all generic:
    lvl 1 - 45 hp and 25 attack
    lvl 5 - 70 hp and 50 attack ---- so booring
    - There is no magic, items are boring too

    For me it's unplayable due to slow paced gameplay, take a quest and then travel 5 minutes in slow motion to get somewere then go back to heal units all in slow motion, very sleepy game and the great combat aka Disciple 2 can't save it.

    2 score only for music and combat. I also dislike the German background at all, all names are in German and is hard to remember who is who and who is brother of whatever Olaf, Kurt, any stein or really whatever.

    By this slow motion movement they are trying to lengh the gameplay and I feel like 90% of gameplay time I am just walking somewhere.
