  • Summary: Augustus, Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, Hannibal, leaders that became legend during this chaotic time of Roman history. Now's your chance to join the ranks of these great strategists and conquer Europe during the time of the Roman Empire. Legion is a revolutionary, high-level strategy game, which unfolds during the rich history that was the Roman Empire. The game features both strategic and tactical elements. At the strategic level, you control vast armies and attempt to carve an Empire from the assortment of tribes and city-states that occupied ancient Italy, France and Britain. At the tactical level, you must position your armies to take advantage of terrain and make use of the best formations, in order to achieve victory. The battles are a spectacle as well as a game play feature and players will enjoy them purely for the fun of watching hundreds of men fighting a bloody engagement. [Strategy First Inc.]… Expand

    Like "Gladiator," Legion is so epic, engrossing, and downright fun that you overlook its shortcomings and simply have a great time, time after time. [Sept 2002, p.84]

    A mindlessly entertaining strategy game...it doesn’t break any new ground, and it becomes somewhat repetitive in a short amount of time.

    There's just nothing interesting in the dynamic of a snowballing collection of cities spitting out poorly distinguished armies that you can shunt into non-interactive battles to conquer generic enemies on an irrelevant map.
