The kind of 4X that brings my relationship with strategy games to a lofty peak. It is engaging and yet oddly meditative, almost relaxing to play rather than nerve-wracking and brain-frying.
Great game!
Basically what Heroes of Might and Magic 4, 5 and 6 should have been.
Everything is good about this game.
It is a fusion of Masters of Magic and Heroes of Might and Magic. A great idea, and successfully produced! Too many have great ideas and come out with a crappy game, but not these guys! :)
Thumbs up!
This might have one of the worst names in gaming history but don't let that put you off. Instead imagine how awesome a cross between Civ and an old school top down RPG would be. Then realize that it exists and is in fact this game. Superb. Prepare to lose hours and hours of your life.
Certainly an improvement over its predecessor. By no means is it a perfect game as some of the technical issues did cast a shadow over the experience to a degree. That said, Stardock has been hard at work ironing out the wrinkles and the positives far outweigh the negatives.
At first glance the lack of direction appears to be a weakness, but in actuality Legendary Heroes requires you to assist it, to give it the direction it needs.
Best game ever in 4x fantasy strategy world. I had so many hours spent utterly enjoying myself. It started as a hate-love thing because I couldnt get over several things: strange, rounded corners graphics (but later, when played on best settings and seeing the details this game excells with I started to love the strange graphics!), then the hate for not having elves which love playing, no underground terrain, no dimensional doors like in masters of arcane, getting stomped all the time by strange and hard monsters (until I got the way of evading doom...), no multiplayer, and no ships/naval **** of that and it really rocks my mind. and ween you add stormmod or other mods this game goes to fantasy dream come true.... Pure 10. I feel pity for the guy having problems in installing it, but he should try getting **** to help out, guys there are great for help>
A solid turn-based strategy game that could use a little more content. The mechanics are good, and the game is balanced. However, there is only one "scenario" (ie. campaign) that is only a single map, even though there is a menu to select from "scenarios" (plural). But there is only one. This is a waste of what is clearly a detailed backstory, and squanders an opportunity to tell an immersive story in this potentially rich world. Instead, we get a random map generator, which should be an "extra" to extend gameplay, but becomes instead the whole game.
good game, not great. but its always funny reading reviews from gamers that can't make the game work because of their crap computer and then slam some realy bad reviews on the games.
A clunky, ugly, Civilization-style 4X strategy game that is overly complicated and makes little effort to explain itself. Fallen Enchantress makes a big deal about its RPG elements, even including a win condition where you can practically play it as a single player RPG to defeat the ancient evil while virtually ignoring your in-game neighbors. You can also equip your (legendary) heroes with armor, weapons, and trinkets, put points into large active & passive skill trees, and use them to enhance your cities, increase your resources, or just go out and kill big monsters. However I feel all this added complexity takes away from the strategy elements of the game and are poorly explained; there is only ONE 10 minute tutorial for the whole game, with everything else explained through tooltips, brief popups and an in-game encyclopedia. In fact, many of the new game "tutorial" popups just link to the in-game manual's page on that topic.
If you can look past the low quality, repetitive music, terrible graphics with flat, undetailed textures and poor character models (why is everything so ugly when there are so many close-ups of your heroes?), clunky UI, and tinny SFX, you might have fun with this game. Fallen Enchantress is a very mundane 4X Civilization style strategy game that tries to be something bigger but is too underdeveloped to be worth playing.
I decided to try it out despite of the more favorable reviews lately.. Sadly, the new dlc hasn't improved the issues with the game. Bad UI, lacking graphics and game play. I really wanted to like this game, but it left me just wishing for a better alternative.
