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]
Legion’s quick fire, shallow approach may deter those who prefer to build a nation, and will no doubt not appeal to the hardcore strategists who look for something with a little more depth. However, for those looking for a fast paced strategy game will appreciate what Legion has to offer.
A good strategy game doesn't depend on graphics like some games, but instead needs depth of play that engrosses players for hours without micromanaging them to death.
If you're looking for a challenge or an in-depth game covering the Roman Empire, you might want to look elsewhere.
Legion isn't so much a bad game as it is a rather dull one that doesn't quite know what it wants to be.
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.
The battles are pretty damn chaotic. They're also devoid of fun, have little rhyme or reason, and often leave you with no idea why you won or lost. [Oct 2002, p.97]
