An under appreciated strategy gem. Ignore the haters.
And it is hard, casual gamers need not apply. Elven Legacy and it's predecessor Fantasy Wars are inspired by Fantasy General and the Panzer General series. This is old school hex based strategy.
So if your looking for a game to chase the dragon this won't be your thing. However, If you're interested in a strategy game focused on tactics with a steep challenge you will love this series.
The difficulty can be overwhelming but all the missions can be won.
Graphics are beautiful and I love that entire units are shown when you zoom in. Great RPG elements with heroes, items and leveling units.
My only complaint is that the map overview is always backwards when the mission starts. The plot is just filler and it would have been nice to have the dialogue rendered in cut scenes like Heroes V.
Don't listen to the haters. This game is dope. Any old school strategy gamer will love this game. Get ready for some saving and loading though!
