Legacy of Sin: Blood Oath

[code]For other game reviews, please [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40640212/]follow us at What The Game?[/url][/code] Legacy of Sin blood oath is a real time tactical strategy game that has you commanding units across a gridded battlefield. There is a story involved but the main focus is to get through the 45 levels that the game offers. While the game's style is reminiscent of old-school web games and isn't exemplary, it does provide a very enjoyable experience and is something everyone can enjoy. The gameplay is simple, you start off with the main character and as you kill orcs, you get gold and you then use this gold to purchase/hire new units to help you with the battle. There are a small variety of different units, such as a soldier with a rapier, archers, musketeers, long spearman and more. Each one counters a specific type of enemy, for example, archers excel at killing non-armoured units but suffer against the heavy armoured orcs. soldiers are good melee units but need to break formation if they're up against a ranged spear throwing orc. The battlefield is gridded 6x5 (6 horizontal bars by 5 vertical bars) and the combat takes place in lanes, a unit will only attack an enemy if they're heading towards eachother in the same horizontal lane. Each friendly unit occupies a bar, in some cases, one bar can be occupied by multiple units such as archers. The beginning is usually slow as you don't have much to work with but as the battle progresses, it starts to pick up its pace as you develop your desired formation. The game has the majority of the mechanics fleshed out but there is always room for improvement, such as some basic quality of life features. In some cases I could not tell which unit I was commanding and I ended up sending the wrong unit the wrong order (Instead of sending the low health soldier to an empty lane, I sent him towards an orc and he died). As such, maybe making the specific unit flash or change colour would be nice, as the black arrow isn't an accurate indicator. There's a skill tree but it takes far too long to unlock skill points and progression is forced to feel slow. They introduce the story periodically by the use of an audio recording spoken in perspective of the main character. I feel like it is unnecessary and the quality of the audio itself is poor but I still appreciate the attempt and effort gone into it. Despite these minor inconveniences, it's still something I can overlook as the fun experience I had outweighs them. There is however, one crucial point I'd like to bring up, it's the fact that the high price point can easily steer you away. Legacy of Sin blood oath is a simple game at its core and sometimes it's exactly what you need, nothing too complicated, just boot up the game and play some levels. However it does have difficult achievements for those that seek the challenge and it does a good job at creating old-school styles of games that are seldom seen in today's gaming industry.

В игре проработано большинство механик, но всегда есть место для улучшений, например, некоторые базовые функции качества жизни. В некоторых случаях я не мог определить, каким подразделением я командую. Несмотря на эти незначительные неудобства, я могу не обращать на них внимания, поскольку полученное удовольствие перевешивает их..

It's a pretty good game, there were some improvements in the art style compared with the last one and there are a lot of improvements in mechanics, really liked the level up system and the new challenges and gamemodes. I do recommend everyone to try this game. A solid sequel from a solid original.

Well, to be perfectly honest in my humble opinion without being sentimental, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in distinct perspective and without condemning anyone's view and by trying to make it objectified and by considering each and everyone's valid opinion I honestly believe that I vividly don't have anything to say. Thank you.

Jogo muito divertido! Parece um pouco com Plantas vs Zumbis, mas essa mecânica de colocar mais de um soldado por slot e a possibilidade de mexer cada um fazem o jogo ficar muito mais dinâmico. As novas unidades e poderes abrem muito caminhos para montar sua estratégia. Acho que precisa de um balanceamento no ganho de XP e e ouro. Para quem gosta de jogos de estratégia eu recomendo muito!

Uma pegada interessante no estilo "tower defense" em que você utiliza de unidades para controle de rotas, podendo mudar elas de posição desde que as mesmas já não estejam em combate. Semelhante em gameplay ao primeiro jogo mas amplificando as opções de estratégia com os novos recursos a disposição. Há uma falta em história se comparado ao anterior, mas em gameplay me diverti bem mais.

不错的游戏，目前放兵的时候有些小bug，不过不影响游戏，还有希望后续能再多出些兵种和玩法，期待后续的更新！

Oyun özünde basit bir oyundur ve bazen tam olarak ihtiyacınız olan şeydir, çok karmaşık bir şey değildir, sadece oyunu başlatın ve bazı seviyeleri oynayın. Ancak bu mücadeleyi arayanlar için zor başarılara sahip ve günümüz oyun endüstrisinde nadiren görülen eski tarz oyun tarzları yaratmada iyi bir iş çıkarıyor.

Здравствуйте. Прошел несколько раз игру, открыл все достижения. Ну что тут сказать, за 50р приобрел потрясающую годноту, игра к сожалению очень короткая, даже на самом высоком уровне сложности большинство миссий проходятся с первого раза. Добавить бы сюда сюжетную линию, вариативность, повысить реиграбельность, новые карты, юнитов с врагами, добавить саундтреки поэпичнее и будет проект А класса. Из минусов, немного топорное управление, нет возможности выбрать определенного юнита на позиции, иногда курсор работает некорректно, в основном проигрыши случались именно изза невозможности выбрать и перегруппировать юнитов. А так повторюсь. За 50р приобрете очень хорошую игрушку.
