An exhilarating experience and the best new game I’ve played in months.
-
Fun, fast and refreshing. It's open to everyone that just wants to get involved with a game that isn't any more difficult to learn than Monopoly.
-
If you have never really been a fan of this genre I urge you to give this one a try. It’s a breeze to play and will have any armchair General screaming Charge!
-
This is definately your classic strategy game, made by a team that really likes the genre.
-
PC FormatThere's more here than meets the eye. [Dec 2005, p.97]
-
If you need a quick sword-and-sandals fix and want to fight epic battles in real-time and on a detailed 3D landscape, then Legion Arena might just be for you.
-
Legion Arena is a good buy for any gamer that loves playing General. It satisfies the need for a quick bloody battle and yet still provides enough depth to keep it all interesting.
-
Legion Arena is all about the combat, no deciding what crops to raise or whether to feed your troops or the starving peasants.
-
What makes this game worthy also makes it hard to recommend to anyone but strategy first gamers.
-
This tactical combat game features battles, battles, and more battles, and it's fun, though very light on content or depth.
-
While it’s no mega contender, it does have its charm and could easily be one of those games you find yourself visiting time and time again.
-
The history-lesson-as-a-backdrop is somewhat interesting, and the tactical portion of the game has some depth. It’s nothing revolutionary, but if you’re a serious fan of the genre then Legion Arena might be worth a look.
-
It takes something special for a game to stand out from the group, and sadly Legion Arena fails to do this.
-
As a single-player game, Legion Arena is entertaining in small doses, but lacks that compelling "just one more turn" quality that the best strategy games have.
-
PC GamerHuge engagements that should run several times as long feel more like football downs, and you can easily swing a half-dozen matches in less time than it takes most NFL teams to inch forward 10 yards. [Mar 2006, p.63]
-
A half-baked "Rome: Total War" wannabe that just fails to make the grade.
-
Computer Games MagazineDespite the superficial resemblance to “Rome: Total War”, Legion Arena is just the latest 3D version of the same simple wargame the developer has been peddling for a while. [Mar 2006, p.55]
-
Computer Gaming WorldTactical freaks won't find much here to really challenge them, but Legion Arena might serve as a good introduction for players unfamiliar with this type of strategy game. [Mar 2006, p.85]
-
Granted, there's potential aplenty here, but with AI this idiotic, Legion Arena can only go down as a massively missed opportunity, more fit for the glue factory than the glories of war. Shame really.
-
"Nothing new" is the mantra for Legion Arena. It’s fun, has good strategy, is multi-player enabled, but really nothing new. Just another solid title from Strategy First.
