ENDLESS Legend™ 2

Now that I have finally played each faction, and played entirely through a few matches with some friends, I feel like I know the game well enough to leave a review. Cutting right to the chase: Endless Legends 2 is currently a 7 out of 10 for me. One thumbs up, would definitely recommend. However it is very much an early release. You still see the same events, same wonders, same special heroes, and so on every game you play. Eventually the variety of these aspects needs to increase enough that you are once again left wondering what you might find each game, rather than only wondering where X thing is on the map. Combat is a lot of fun, but it too lacks in overall variety. Heroes dominate the battlefield rather than supplementing troops in interesting ways. Often times a combat devolves into a warrior death blowing everything into oblivion while the troops act as a meat shield to ensure your hero does not awkward get surrounded before everything is dead. It’s a wonderful start however, and has the potential to be fantastic. The last thing I really want to touch on is the economy. I LOVE how the key resources all achieve feeling necessary, and while Tech is still king, you need to have some decent dust/production to actually make improvements, food for pop which can be powerful resource producers, and influence to actually grow your empires territory. Neglecting too many of these resources will see you falling behind, regardless of your tech lead. A special mention to how every faction has excellently unique playstyles with unique ways to use certain resources, yet all can prove powerful. If any faction felt like it would be lacking, it could only be the Necrophage. Often times the restriction of only one city is just too much of a detriment to currently be overcome, though they can still achieve glorious results even if it requires more effort. And that’s it, a great game worth your time, and hopefully a glorious game in the future with more updates. Will for sure update this review once those updates do come, and they are coming!
