Legions of Steel

As someone who loves strategy games in general, and who also enjoys space hulk, i was on the fence about buying what appeared to be a "lesser clone". Well i decided to try this out and you know what? This game is a perfect compliment to your strategy collection. This is really the opposite of space hulk (powerful military might in small number against an endless hoard of lesser intelligence beasts). The concept in this game instead of dissimilar opponents, is much more based on two more equal enemies in terms of intelligence and weaponry. The difference between the games is very much worth your money because this title really has its very own feel and in a very good way. I did encounter a bug where the enemy turn would keep running forever so i had to restart. Apart from that very minor annoyance, the game is absolutely fun and challenging. If you like turn based tactical strategy, this is your ticket for a great ride due to the combination of luck/skill making each game a little different and therefore very replayable. You can play a nice quick round anytime you like which is always a good thing thanks to the skirmish mode with the same maps from the campaign as well as a few new ones. Bottom line, its worth the asking price and worth your time. Good luck in your struggle against the machines!

Legions of Steel is a fun turn-based strategy game that puts you in control of a squad in a board game based tactics game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc7RbFZLcBc

Ridiculously hard: one false movement of one squad member means you have to restart the level.

Legions of Steel is a rather clinical and calculated foray into squad based combat based on an old boardgame, of commandos and hostile machines. The game requires careful thought and use of mechanics such as line of sight and supression, as well as investing leadership points in tipping the initiative at the crucial point in an engagement. I wrote an external [url=http://sugarfreegamer.com/legions-of-steel-pew-pew-die/] impressions piece on my blog[/url] about it.

I'd rather recommend Templar Battleforce.

Great game for the right person. I think this is a very well done tactical turn based game irregardless of time period. If you like tactical turn based games this is programmed very tight with few if any bugs. I like this one a lot. My issues with it: 1. Graphically nice, however I find the background distracting. Use the tactical view for unhindered mayhem. (T key). They should give you multiple backgrounds to play with / in. 2. Ony two campaigns, yes and one is a tutorial campaign that is very thourough and well done. That being said, humans are the best to play against. 3. No editor. But you can customize some maps with options you select, however it is limited. 4. Sounds. Nice if you could change the music, not a big deal though. Again, I think it's a great game and my issues are minor compared to what the game accomplishes. I enjoy it very much.

probably not a bad game but unplayable without zoom control.

re playing this one again after playing a demo of another game, which looked like it, but didn't play half as good, so loaded it back and so glad i did, just one of those games which at time of release didn't get the amount of player it maybe should have, it's like the 1988 spectrum game laser squad with more up to date looks and a better more modern UI, plays well and looks good, should have had a follow on or some more added to it, but can say that about many games now days, enjoy

At first glance this looks like Space Hulk. Upon playing you'll find a MUCH deeper tactical gameplay experience. For example assigning command points to give key units a little extra movement/firepower is a very nice mechanic. Every turn the relative positions of units on the grid map...combined with the many movement and fire options...will play out like a mini tactical puzzle culminating in overall success or failure. This game gives you a LOT of options. Many more than most of the newer turn-based tactical shooters currently being released. I'm grateful for this relief from appy, over-simplified, xCom clone games. +1 for a turn-based tactical game that understands how guns work.

Really drab and relies too much on RNG.
