    Half the fun of this game is building an effective, focused force piece by piece using artifacts and levels-up, as well as shrewd tactical choices.

    The streamlined gameplay lets vets focus on battle strategies and clearing maps with the best possible ratings, while less experienced players can wade through the game without being terribly bogged down by having to micromanage lots of minutia. Elven Legacy is by no means an amazing game, but it's a strong follow-up to Fantasy Wars and not a bad way to spend a rainy afternoon.

    This reminds me so much of a few classic Amiga titles of yester year which is by no means a bad thing. The more you play this the more you will appreciate it,the story is good and gets your imagination flowing. This title is really good if your new to this genre and gets you involved although more experienced gamers of fantasy and role playing may want something more robust but for the novice this is more than enough. Having multiple endings is a very good plus point and will ensure you'll be playing this for sometime to come,has a good and involving story,with just wanting to see what happens next,good sound and graphics,good characters. We've all seen a few classic fantasy movies and wanted to play the part of a hero well now you can but are you up to the task,play this and you won't be disappointed, I'm loving it anyway.… Expand

    A great wargame - a genre that has been quite rare in the past years. Decent storyline and presentation, simple yet deep mechanics, good map design, excellent challenge level. A must play for wargaming-fans, and a big recommendation for fans of tactical RPGs and turn-based strategy games.… Expand

    Being an ardent fan of such turn based titles as HOMM, Disciples, AOW and Warlords I really wanted to like this game. Playing the game on easy mode and getting completely crushed in the second scene of the campaign, however, was quite a surprise. I found success on further attempts but it seems to me the game takes the fun out of exploring each map, as you must move directly to the objective as quickly as possible or get wiped out. Problems still exist though, as these side towns troops end up flanking you or advancing on your tail. This while trying to win at the gold level, which may be overly ambitious for my skills. All in all a major disappointment.… Expand
