It's a niche game, as all Slitherine projects are, but the publisher does have a deep understanding of what makes for a quality, deep, strategy game, and it has applied the same expertise to the tactics sub-genre with impressive results.
Legions of Steel does something wrong. I love turn-based tactical games, but this did not connect at any level. Bland graphics, too big levels causing a lot of empty turns, on which move too many units. [Oct 2015]
A sturdy conversion of a robust set of board game rules. The top-down, corridor-heavy setting is reminiscent of Space Hulk, but Legions of Steel places more emphasis on equal fire-fights between the competing factions.
Legions of Steel leads to a fatalistic cyberpunk fiction and that fits perfectly but charged a leisurely battles danger. Each mistake can be costly in this strategy Slitherine.
Veterans of the genre and fans of the original board game will probably enjoy this adaptation. Everyone else will deem it too uncomely and dull.
Legions of Steel is not worst Turn Based Strategy game we ever seen, but it does have some serious problems.
It offers a challenge and requires careful planning, but it's missing mechanical depth.
