Rob Walton from BagoGames writes: I can’t really think of many games with medieval settings that don’t rely heavily on fantasy elements; The only games that come to mind are Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, and War Of The Roses. Legends Of Eisenwald is another such game, and this time, rather than a hack and slash, we have a strategy\rpg style game. Set in what I assume is Western Europe, Legends of Eisenwald is a fascinating game that took me by surprise with its more realistic take on knights in shining armor. Though it does have minor fantastical elements such as magic and the undead, it doesn’t rely entirely on things like monsters and dragons to make it interesting.
Aterdux Entertainment has announced some new downloadable content for their tactical strategy-RPG, Legends of Eisenwald. The DLC is titled "Road to Iron Forest", which includes a new map, a new adventuring location and a new storyline. The developer also revealed that they were starting a Season Pass for future DLC.
Palmer Sturman: Legends of Eisenwald is a testament to a lost art form in gaming. Like Pillars of Eternity, or Divinity: Original Sin, Legends of Eisenwald borrows liberally from popular fantasy titles of the past, but instead it looks towards a different set of titles that, at one time, appealed to a massive audience: Might and Magic and King’s Bounty. It’s an intriguing title that, at best, managed to invoke some of the nostalgia that came from playing those titles as a kid, and, at worst, meandered in terms of pacing due to its weak storyline.
Legends of Eisenwald is the second game from developer Aterdux Entertainment, and a medieval time period piece that allows you to experience a share of Germanic lore and style
Nice draw distance.
Looks lovely.
Looks great. It's not usually a genre I play, but I might try this one later.
