As the time progresses, things progress, with exception of Stronghold series.
It's been 5 years since the first Stronghold was released, and here Firefly Studios emerges again to hit another best-seller? Sorry, not at all, even the new fantasy monsters aren't enough to make you buy this game.
Gameplay: If you think the story of the game will make you sit days to complete the missions, you're wrong. A dull story, an extremely buggy gameplay will make you feel bad. Very boring combat makes thing even worse. It is not fun to see clones of armies fighting with each other at all. Building strongholds was one of the exciting things about the Stronghold series, but it is not fun making them in Legends. It will take ages to get everything right in making your stronghold with the snappy buggy build system of Legends. Nothing to be excited here.
Graphics: As stupid as it sounds, I think Stronghold (the original version) had a better graphics than Stronghold Legends! That is true. An unpolished try to make the things 3D with an outdated graphic engine makes this game look terrible at the first sight. Don't be disappointed, but laggy and buggy graphics gameplay ensures you to leave the game after you complete the first mission.
Sound: The sounds was ok. It was like the old Stronghold series. Nothing revolutionary, but it was fine.
Value: I think even by spending £17 you can get better games than SH: Legends. There are a number of games with the same price that offer a much better gaming experience. Warhammer 40K: Dark Crusade anyone? I don't want to sniff at this game, but Firefly disappointed us all.
Reviewer's Tilt: A poor sequel to a great game. I'm very disappointed at this game. It seems like the developers just wanted to release a game and whether unstable, unpolished, and bugged, it didn't matter to them. It was sad to see a bad ending to one of my favorite game series.
