    Legendary Heroes is yet another step forward for Stardock, If you are not familiar at all with Elemental, the studio’s previous effort, or other 4X fantasy strategy games, it may even surprise you. It’s just not a stand-out game.

    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.

    I'd rather put 7.5 but the system doesn't work like that. This game is pretty good but the combat gets old pretty quick in my opinion. After aI'd rather put 7.5 but the system doesn't work like that. This game is pretty good but the combat gets old pretty quick in my opinion. After a certain point in the game your troops roll over everything with many instances of one shot kills and its pretty easy to get all your troops to move first so very often the other side does not even get to fight back. The RPG part of the game is pretty good, I wish there was greater number of weapons and armor. The city building is also just ok. The races are all really similar; everyone really looks the same. After a few I only play small maps anymore (I have around 40 hours in the game). Late game gets super boring. Full Review »

    Legendary Heroes is a significant set of improvements to Fallen Enchantress, and anyone keen on the original should pick it up. All elementsLegendary Heroes is a significant set of improvements to Fallen Enchantress, and anyone keen on the original should pick it up. All elements of the game have been improved, but still many are imperfect. The graphics engine which underpins the game is remarkable. There has been significant work to 'balance' various aspects, but there is more that could be done. I have played for a few hundred hours, and there are still interesting surprises to be found.

    I recommend it to TBS fans especially. Makes a good change from Civ or similar. I don't think it can be given a 10, as it still has some rough edges and occasional bugs.

    I strongly recommend this to any fan of turn based strategy
    A lot of improvements to its base game. Especially graphic haul is impressive.
    I strongly recommend this to any fan of turn based strategy game and tactical battles.
    Game play is fun details are amazing. AI seems a little bit feeble at the moment I have experienced but I haven't tried high settings.
    I applaud developers for sticking with their game, and making it shine I hope they deserve the well earned recognition for this.
