The Lord of the Rings: War in the North™ - Legacy Edition

Just so you understand what you're getting: This isn't a remaster or a port to a new engine. This is a rerelease of the original game with a patch. The patch fixes some bugs and adds some QOL along with (poorly) upscaled textures. Most importantly, the online co-op is back (through EGS) though as far as can be determined, it is not crossplay between platforms. It is still fundamentally the same game on the same engine with most of the same (minor) jank. It includes all of the original deluxe edition/pre-order DLC stuff in the rerelease. As for new stuff, there's a camera lock-on for ranged attacks and abilities (melee still handles the same even if locked on.) The UI is updated to show full ally stats as well as giving consumables their own panel. There's a proper Borderless mode. You can hotswap between characters when solo so you can actually equip and upgrade them in the middle of a level. The visuals are very slightly cleaned up. That's it, really. The game itself is still a solid 7/10 and worth playing if you're in the mood for a Snowblind action RPG that isn't quite as good as Return to Arms. For existing owners, you'll have to use your best judgment on whether it's worth another 20USD.

[h1] This Is How You Bring Classic Games Back [/h1] Honestly, I’m just really happy to see The Lord of the Rings: War in the North available again. This is exactly what I want to see more of in gaming. Games shouldn’t disappear and become impossible to play unless you’re willing to hunt down an old copy or pay ridiculous prices on the secondary market. War in the North is a fantastic Lord of the Rings game and one that deserved to be accessible again. The co-op, the combat, the three playable characters, and the whole idea of experiencing a different side of the War of the Ring still make this one of the most underrated LOTR games out there. It’s an adventure that a lot of people missed the first time around, and now they finally have a chance to experience it. I really hope we see more delisted games come back like this. Give people a legitimate way to buy and play these games again instead of letting them disappear forever. This is a fantastic step in the right direction, and I’m genuinely glad War in the North is accessible again.

One does not simply stop after this. We're eating good but what about second breakfast? Now we need the same love for LOTR Conquest (considering [strike] Aspyr [/strike] Sauron also did Battlefront). It would also be nice to see The Two Towers, Return of the King, Battle for Middle-Earth and Third Age get the same treatment as well.

I played this game when it came out originally on xbox360, Loved it. Love it to death and broke it out recently played it with my son. Its a phenomenal game. Aspyr had the audacity to release it again after it was delisted and not fix the save bugs. You cannot play this game as intended and have it save properly. If you use quick match or party finder your progress doesnt save. And if you do a legit group you still have to jump through a bunch of weird hoops to get it to save and even then its not gauranteed it will save. Im not saying the game is terrible solo, but thats not why I want to play it. Its an amazing fighty co op game, possibly one of the best. Its lord of the rings golden axe. But if I cant properly play it online with friends or random pick ups I jsut dont care about it at all.

[h2]El Regreso de La Guerra en el Norte[/h2] The Lord of the Rings: War in the North - Legacy Edition es la reedición del juego de acción y rol de 2011 desarrollado originalmente por Snowblind Studios. Aspyr Media lo ha traído de vuelta a Steam y a plataformas modernas. La historia se desarrolla en paralelo a la Comunidad del Anillo y se centra en el Norte de la Tierra Media, donde Agandaûr, un Númenóreano Negro al servicio de Sauron, reúne un ejército en las ruinas de Fornost. [u][b]Jugabilidad original intacta[/b][/u] El núcleo del juego no ha cambiado. Controlas a tres héroes que puedes intercambiar en cualquier momento: •Eradan, el montaraz dúnedain (sigilo y combate a distancia). •Andriel, la maestra de saber élfica (magia de apoyo y curación). •Farin, el campeón enano (tanque cuerpo a cuerpo). El combate es de acción en tercera persona, con progresión de habilidades, equipo y loot. Hay momentos en los que puedes invocar a un Gran Águila y apareces en localizaciones icónicas como Rivendel, Lórien o la Montaña Solitaria, con cameos de personajes conocidos. El modo cooperativo (online o pantalla dividida) sigue siendo uno de sus puntos fuertes. [u][b]¿Qué cambia en la Legacy Edition?[/b][/u] No se trata de un remaster completo ni de una revisión profunda. Es un pequeño lavado de cara técnico orientado a equipos y consolas actuales. Las mejoras principales son: •Soporte nativo para resoluciones altas (hasta 4K) y +60 fotogramas por segundo •Compatibilidad actualizada con mandos modernos (Xbox y DualSense) •Guardado en la nube de Steam •Mejor integración con sistemas operativos actuales •Mantenimiento del cooperativo online y local Visualmente se nota más nítido y estable, pero los modelos, animaciones y diseño de niveles son esencialmente los mismos de 2011. No hay contenido nuevo de historia, ni una renovación gráfica ambiciosa, ni cambios importantes en el combate o la progresión. Es el juego original modernizado para que funcione bien hoy en día. Incluye voces y textos en castellano, igual que la versión original y eso se agradece. [u][b]Lo mejor[/b][/u] •Regreso de un título de clásico de El Señor de los Anillos •Cooperativo online y en pantalla dividida •Mejoras técnicas para hardware actual (4K/60 fps, cloud, mandos modernos) •Precio de lanzamiento asequible [u][b]Lo peor[/b][/u] •Es básicamente el mismo juego de 2011 •El lavado de cara es técnico, no creativo •Defectos originales que no se han corregido en profundidad [u][b]Conclusión[/b][/u] War in the North - Legacy Edition es una buena noticia para quienes querían volver a jugarlo o probarlo por primera vez en PC moderno. Aspyr ha hecho un trabajo correcto de actualización técnica para que funcione bien en 2026, pero no esperes un remaster ambicioso. Si ya conocías y disfrutabas el original, especialmente en cooperativo, esta edición es la forma más cómoda de recuperarlo. Si buscas una experiencia renovada o un juego de Tierra Media actual, las limitaciones de 2011 se notan. Una reedición honesta y funcional, sin sorpresas mayores.

With no way to seemingly contact the dev team, I'll post this review with problems in the game. If they get fixed, I'll change it to positive. In Bree, after you leave and then come back, there are massive amount of weapons, potions, etc sitting in one clump on the main path near the Blacksmith. Sometimes, these weapons apears in checkpoint areas too. It seems like a leftover for the dev team for testing, and it never got correctly cleaned up for release. I'm also having issues with ranged weapons not doing damage until I move into point blank range, and even then it's not working. I notice that it usually happens when I clear an area and then head back to Bree to exit/save the game, and then come back to re-play that area. It's quite frustrating to unload a full inventory of arrow into snipers on the roofs/towers only to do no damage. I haven't gotten very far yet, but these early bugs make it not fun to progress. I want to like this, as I played the old version on PC and PS3 back in the day.

Literally not a single better way to spend 18 dollars. I cannot believe they shadow dropped this. This game is special, and it would be a disservice not to play it. Find two friends and play it. If they don't want to buy it, buy it for them. If you can't do that, hit me up, and maybe I'm feeling generous. I CANNOT believe they shadow dropped this. If you're ever feeling lost and need a reason to make it to tomorrow, let it be this: At any moment an unplayable gem from your childhood could be remastered and flawlessly ported to Steam for 18 dollars.
