With the latest addition to the Stronghold series
players will see an additional range of innovations added
to the brand, including twice as many units as previous Stronghold
titles, three castle styles, three landscapes to fight across
and the addition of spectacular magic and fearsome monsters
to overcome, as well as a completely new strategic conquest
style of play and a range of new multiplayer modes...
Stronghold:
Legends is a real time strategy (RTS) game that builds
on the Stronghold heritage, set within the epic legends
of the middle ages. This chapter includes a new strategic
conquest style of play as well as new multiplayer modes. Gamers
can play as King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table,
Count Vlad Dracul or relive the heroic sagas of the mighty
Siegfried of Germany in twenty-four missions that span across
three unique campaigns.
If
you've engaged in any of the previous Stronghold RTS
games, then Legends will seem like fairly familiar
territory to you. You'll need to build a strong army if you
have any hopes of beating the enemy. Here you can employ pikemen
and archers along with a host of monsters including giants,
dragons and dwarves.
Sadly
though the designers have focussed more on the actually fighting
instead of offering a mix of building design and other strategy
elements. And, on top of that, some of the creatures you can
employ in your army don't actually have the desired effect.
For example dragons can easily be shot out of the sky by a
few archers.
In
all honestly, this game will only really be of interest to
fans of the genre who want to keep up with the latest release
in the franchise. Other gamers should try before they buy.
