Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes

Why can I write a review for a game I dont own and never did?

On paper Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes has a lot of promise: it's Civilization style 4x (resources and diplomacy) together with Heroes of Might and Magic's RPG style heroes with levels, spells and equipments and army based tactical battles. But in all these areas FE:LH fails to meet the these games' standards. The diplomacy options are very lacking, and the untis and battles are fairly janky. There is a unit editor which is a nice touch, but other than that the game is definitely dated, missing out on a lot of QoL improvements Civ V and HoMM4 brought to their respective series'. I also encountered a lot of bugs in the 20 hours - I've had visual bugs, 2 soft locks requiring reload and 3 full-on crashes. Someone mentioned this is because it's a 12 year old game not optimised for Windows 11; fair enough - but for that reason I cannot really recommend this game. I will give sequels a go; but this version of the game has too much jank.

Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes scratches a very specific itch — it's the fantasy 4X/RPG hybrid I didn't know I needed, blending the empire-building of Civilization with the hero progression and tactical battles of Heroes of Might and Magic. The unit customization system alone is worth the price of admission; being able to kit out squads with specific weapons, armor, and abilities from your research tree makes every campaign feel distinct. The early-to-mid game exploration is genuinely exciting — finding new settling sites, stumbling across monster dens you're not ready for yet, and watching your heroes level up — even if the late game tends to devolve into whoever built the biggest unstoppable stack wins. I do have to be honest about the elephant in the room: crashes are a real issue, especially in longer campaigns, and bugs that have been reported for years remain unfixed, which is frustrating for a game that still costs money. If you can grab it on sale and supplement it with community mods (particularly the AI and gameplay overhaul mods), there's a genuinely underrated gem here that no modern game has quite replicated.

This is an incredibly underrated game. It's a Civilization style game with Heroes but the resource management is the MOST INTERESTING thing I've ever seen. In Civilization access to horses gives you infinite horses, in this you gain a horse resource that builds up to be used for cavalry units. This is extra important for heavy armor.

i have a serious question; please this is not a troll. do people actually like this? is there a human being out there anywhere in time who has actually without lying enjoyed this game? i don't mean someone who opened it for twenty minutes and thought to themselves it looked charming and good, but then never thought of it again. does this game have an actual fan? i have wasted hours on bad games before, but this one honestly really feels like a true thief of time, and not a dashing rogue, but more like the leech taking a half cent for every financial transaction done across its virtual books. this game is bad. bad. bad. i am happy knowing that one day the games developers and publishers, like every one of us, will face some advanced form of decay in old age and painfully die. the cold, comfort that the reaper's scythe comes swinging for us all.

One of the BEST turn based strategy games I own, barely topped by other ultra classics like Age Of Magic 3. Only DLC that you should buy on sale is the MAP PACK for a couple bux. Everything else you need can be provided by the WORKSHOP pretty much, and that means LOADS of extra content! Of course you always have the option to get ALL the DLC if you wish, and this can also be a good thing for anyone who is into it. Just all around SUPERBLY well programmed, THE UI IS GOLD, and so is just about everything else about this title! Even the sequel is GOOD (sorceror).

Игра моего детсва начиная с первой части когда мой папа покупал игру в 2008 году в дисках игра легендарная купил все части все дополнения длс и новую часть которая вышла 23 октября ещё не играл конечно в неё но обязательно поиграю как пройду эту игру однозначно да рекомендую ! (и да в этой игре нету русской озвучки но это не беда скачать русификатор так что в перёд гамать игру ПАРНИ я играю сейчас за Умбра создал свою целевизацию личную коплю всегда на знания потом уже на военную промышленность круто ещё раз говорю бомба!!!!!!) изменено баги на ход очень бесят зависает ход так что ходить нельзя баг ещё вылазит диалог но диалога нету чёрная картинка и всё баг на то что ход не ходит часы писочные думают и на этом конец приходиться перезаходить( это было и в элементал части)
