    Legends of Eisenwald is one of the biggest and most pleasant surprises that we engaged with this summer. Intriguing storytelling, thrilling plot twists and ambiguous morale decisions are wrapped up in an excellent medieval/ feudal environment. The simple yet addictive turn based battle system, the many upgradeable military units and a well built economic system, raise the game’s status to “totally recommended” for the genre’s fans.

    Legends of Eisenwald will certainly offer tens if not hundreds of hours of fun for those who are willing to understand its world and mechanics, and it will be interesting to see how the team at Aterdux expands the formula of the game in the future.

    A triumph of raw substance over style, Legends of Eisenwald constantly wins over the heart of the RPG connoisseur despite its incompleteness thanks to its deep battle system and well crafted adventures. A great game for strategy experts.

I am 23 hours into game and I have to say, this game is very well made.

    Story: 9.5
    Mechanics: 8.5 (for being unique)

    Overall I gave it 10. This game has unique battle system and good story line.

    Okay, it's a difficult game, which looks like generic, but it is a original piece of indie art.

    What's good: * incredibly crafted sound
    Okay, it's a difficult game, which looks like generic, but it is a original piece of indie art.

    What's good:
    * incredibly crafted sound (actually the first time I hear such a cool sound in a game of this type)
    * the perfect untypical story, which is combined in a web of legends (like the name of the game - "legends...")
    * rich tactical opportunities (lost myself in the gameplay!)

    What is wrong:
    * UI looks awkward sometimes.
