Elven Legacy: Magic

Last of the elven legacy DLC is a really nice one. Difficulty droped significatly from siege but it's probably the most balance and fair of the entire elven legacy. It's not super easy like ranger but not super hard like siege. All the basic feature such as graphics didn't change at all since the base game and although it's aged it's still quite decent. Story wise I like it too. Like siege it use the same type of parallel storyline between 2 hero's route and reach an quite epic end for the entire serie. Some of the old hero from other elven legacy show up also. There are some bonus mission to play to see the aftermath of the other elven legacy dlc/basegame. Overall a quite satisfactory finish to the semi-good game serie. It's not a perfect game and yes it does takes a while but once you start getting into it. it's still quite good. 6.5/10 for a good strong finish. Recommend to play if you like elven legacy basegame.

[h1]Rating: mediocre (5/10)[/h1] [b] Introduction [/b] Elven Legacy: Magic is a story-driven strategy RPG where by leading a small army of human with heroes in turn-based combat you have to fulfill smaller missions to save the kingdom from the undead, exiled elves, heretics and some other dangers. [b] Gameplay & Story: 5/10 [/b] Since you get thrown into combat from the very first mission of the campaign, you get to know that the gameplay consists purely of fighting on a small scaled map, upgrading and recruiting your troops between the missions and spending some time listening to dialogs or watching cut scenes. The gameplay does not differ at all from the main game Elven Legacy. The story is written slightly better than the main game, however is still as simple you are being the good guy chasing some bad guys. [b] Combat & Challenge : 6/10 [/b] The combat does have some aspects of tactical troop management and each unit does have some upgrades, where you can specialise it in a certain way. The units including melee, ranged, air troops and heroes fulfill different roles and you have to be aware of their strengths and counters on higher difficulties. Hard was actually hard even to me since the mission had a time limit and at a certain point you had to charge heads on into the enemy troops, so the preset had to be perfect not to lose too many units. [b] Graphic & Interface : 3/10 [/b] The design of this game is not only old, but also quite cheap looking to be honest. Only the heroes (especially your main one) has some fancy looking gear and the UI is your basic old looking tons of buttons one. The maps do not have many details either, the special spots containing artefacts are barely distinguishable and only later in the game the units receive some better looking equipment. [b] Progress & Mini-Games : 5/10 [/b] The progress is determined by the difficulty you pick before starting a mission, since hard takes much longer to finish. There are no mini games so the only progress is finishing the current mission, determing the difficulty of the next, picking your troops and jumping into the next one. [b] Audio & Immersion : 5/10 [/b] To be honest I cannot say much about the music, since I turned it off after the first mission and played with my own. The sounds used for the troops, fighting and voice overs are mediocre and get their job done. However, do not expect any serious immersion in this game since the combination of bad graphic, non-immersive audio and typical storyline will not really let you dive any deep into this game. [b] Side-Notes [/b] [list] [*]This game offers a single player campaign of about 8 hours. [*]This game contains no steam achievements and no trading cards. [*]This game offers minimal replayibility, since it is story heavy. [/list] [b] Summary [/b] Elven Legacy: Magic is an oldschool tactical turn-based RPG and strategy hybrid, that offers a story of elven warriors traveling through the world fighting humans, dwarves and orcs while chasing some anti-heroes. Some missions will offer a tactical challenge at higher difficulties, however neither the battles nor the story feel any strong in this game. The immersion just did not happen with the game of this quality, so I can only recommend it to fans of tactical turn-based combat and fans of oldschool strategic RPGs. If you enjoyed the main game, you should also get the Magic addon, besides you can save your money. I hope this review helps you making the decision if its worth buying and installing this game. Rate and leave a comment if you enjoyed reading it. ~ForestWolf

Прекрасное завершение для серии игр Кодекс Войны. Видно, что разработчики вложили все свои самые лучшие наработки из прошлых частей и освежили все это новыми механиками. Здесь есть: Дополнительные миссии, ставящие точки в историях основных персонажей из предыдущих частей, бои небольших групп и массовые баталии, разветвленное повествование, позволяющее взглянуть на происходящее с разных точек зрения, нововведение в виде сильного упора на магию и магические артефакты, нежели на армию. Сюжет, правда, здесь весьма поверхностный. Сюжет никогда не был сильной стороной Кодекса, но в оригинале, хотя бы четко прослеживались стороны конфликта и мотивации главных действующих лиц. Но после оригинала, в некоторых моментах прослеживается натягивание сюжетной совы на глобус, где ради разнообразия игрового процесса сталкивают лбами персонажей, которые теоретически могли бы решить все мирным путем. Плюс, рояль в кустах в виде могущественного рунного мага гномов, который, видите ли, появляется только в час крайней нужды, и решает все проблемы чуть ли не щелчком пальцев. И вот вокруг такого персонажа, выстраивается одна из основных сюжетных линий Кодекс Войны: Магия. Не особо хочется углубляться в механику данной части. Это все тот же Кодекс Войны, фундаментальные элементы игрового процесса остались неизменными, но есть одно кардинальное отличие от всех предыдущих частей. Кодекс Войны: Магия, не просто так назвали “Магия”. C самого начала нам дают понять, что в нашем распоряжении практически не будет войск, все будут решать только МАГИ. Большую часть времени все конфликты регулируются: призывными существами, сильной боевой магией и различными усилениями. В общем, история Мира Иллиса подошла к концу. Зло окончательно повержено, политическая ситуация в мире неопределенна, а судьбы многих героев могут сложиться каким угодно образом. Я был рад пройти все дополнения к оригинальному Кодексу войны, даже спустя 10 лет. Надеюсь, кто-нибудь так же сможет оценить всю серию игр по достоинству. Хоть Кодекс Войны и может местами казаться несправедливым и чересчур сложным, но зато каждый раз преодолевая эти сложности, долгожданная победа становится намного слаще, а игровой процесс становится понятным и куда более честным, чем кажется на первый взгляд.

Elven Legacy serisinin devam oyunu birkaç farklı özellikle fakat oyun daha da berbat bir hal almış sıra tabanlı stratejik savaş oyunu eskir yapım olduğundan mekanikler saçma kaçıyor şu an tatmin edici değil

The third and last add-on to Elven Legacy. The lack of voiceover is still painful, but at least there was some creativity with the new rune mage dwarf character. To unlock the bonus missions, you must choose your steps carefully sometimes, but it's worth the price, all four extra quests are very good now. Alas, the difficulty was very mixed this time, because this is the last expansion, and yet, some quests are just too easy to complete. Overall, it was great to play with the heroes one last time, and I could imagine a new game with them as well. The world is nice, the possibility is in it, just needs an acceptable budget.

klassisches spielkonzept mit akzeptabler grafik - spezielle fähigkeiten beim aufleveln der einheiten auszusuchen macht spaß - auch gefällt mir was bei vielen spielen nicht geht - daß man die einheiten umbenennen und also individualisieren kann - auch kann man jeder einheit nicht nur helden - zumindest ein magisches item geben (helden bis zu drei) elven legacy gehört zu den besseren spielen seiner art - grundsolide 7/10
