    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 is a recreation of the classic tabletop game from the 90s. It excels at conveying the original feel of the game thanks to its well implemented mechanics. At its core, Legions of Steel is a tactical turn-based action experience that rewards the top quality strategist. It may display a simplistic appearance, but Legions of Steel is a challenge for veterans of the genre.

    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]

    Legions of steel is very well presented, very addictive and well worth the asking price.
    There is hour's and hours of fun to be had here.    Legions of steel is very well presented, very addictive and well worth the asking price.
    There is hour's and hours of fun to be had here. With a simple but powerful rule set/ability's you will face hoards of very intelligent machines.
    This is one of those games that has you feeling good about yourself after completing a mission. It might have taken you 10 retries, but you beat the machine and that's all that matter.
    The game also holds a very immersing atmosphere, especially when you turn on fog of war, the game then becomes very alien, in more ways then one.

    Well worth a buy.    … Full Review »
