- Civilization-like settling and city building. - Tactical combat. - Research that actually is vital to your civilization. - Army equipment editor. - Diplomacy (even though that feature is maybe the weakest point in this game) - Quests - Extremely different playing factions. - Science-Fantasy setting that gets a lot of its lore from the world of Endless Space.
Together Endless Legend is one of those games that anyone who has interest in roundbased strategy should buy and play.
You play a strange little blob that eats and eats and eats and eats and eats.
While the blob it eating he grows and grows and grows and grows and grows.
This doesn´t sound like much but is in fact fun and sometimes really difficult (because you have a time limit on each of the levels). A waring though: I know someone who got vertigo from playing this fast paced game.
It is so great to rule a city and being allowed to be perverted and selfish. Great adventure. And also withe quantity of scenario's you'll be active for some times
The art and cinematics of this game are superb, but it remains at that. It is an interactive movie (or TV series) that stops at certain points and you have to do something to continue. Anyone remember Dragon's Lair (I am old enough to remember)?. It looks similar at times, except that this is easier (because you get clues on what to grab, where to go, etc.)! Theoretically, your decisions affect the development of the story, but that's not true: they only affect a tiny part of the story, which once passed, returns to you to the same point. And what about the story in itself? Well, it's just to excessively over-dramatic: you have to kill children, relatives, watch suicides (all for the supreme benefit of survival, of course!). Playing this game I remebered when I was young and went to see some horror movie: people in the theater (specially girls) shouted at the characters: "Grab the hammer!", "Smash the window!", "Run!. This game is at points something like that. And it offers no challenge: I can't imagine anyone not finishing this game in a few hours. So that's my verdict: an uninteresting game that's a tecnicallly good movie, perhaps suitable for movie making students and so. But we're talking about games, no?
You may have to "un-install" and "re-install" this fantastic game in an iMac Snow Leopard in order to get it to play, that is what I had to do after purchasing. Once that glitch is overcome, this is a very fun game, one of the Best Zuma games ever, BETTER than the "original" ZUMA (in my opinion). This game has fun bonus matches and "Boss Battle" is interesting and challenging. Highly recommend. I purchased this game years ago and still play it from time to time.
At first I thought I would like this game, but after playing it only a few times, I quickly got bored with it. Game boards and graphics are rather dull. Each level increases difficulty until what seems like insurmountable ~ overwhelming. 3 stars is all I give this game and wish I could get a refund as I never ever play it anymore and have "hidden" this game in my games list!
I was expecting another run of the mill war/zombie first person shooter when I saw this game, but was surprised to find a much more cerebral strategy game, with minimal violence, and great graphics. Another indie gem.
A few things make this very annoying...the scrolling screen that you have from the 3rd hotel onwards..they've done it for one of the hotels in the other games and really it's just an annoying way they've settled for of making level more complicated without having to think about different elements they could have included. It's very basic compared to the other two jane's hotel games but it is from 2008 so should have expected that...wouldn't waste the money on this one..out of the 3 games jane's family hotel is overally the best.
This game has an interesting story line and cast of characters , has many hours of playtime, and has a wide variety of weapons to experiment with. No complaints here.
After being killed as a witch and barbarian I had just about managers to get a handle on the controls and spell keys. Managed a late night to level 11 without being killed. very enjoyable and engrossing game different from the norm. screen resolution was good and played without stuttering or slowing down. becomes a tactical FPS with the later more difficult NPC's
Warlock 2 has it's pluses and minuses. Where the game fails there are user mods availible to handle it. Did I expect more... kinda. The magic system is pretty interesting, but that's about it. I also like that pretty much every aspect of the game is modifiable.
Best I can say about this game is it'll kill 2 or 3 hours of your time if you don't have anything else to do.
I havent played this to much yet but I have enjoyed it so far. Its had 1 or 2 bugs that caused the game to crash on me though. Other then that its been great.
I am very impressed with the depth of this game. There are so many skills/stats to choose from when building your character and all of them appear to be well thought out and have a noticeable impact on the game. Annoyed with some bandits being just fast enough to escape your wrath as you try and run them down? A few points in path-finding will help. Love battles but wish your followers would recover quicker? Some points in the First Aid and Surjery will do you nicely.
Depending on which nation your peasants come from will determine what they evolve into when they level up and building up/preserving your troops is great fun.
Combat is tough to start with and I confess to falling back to the bow while I get more used to melee. It is more definitely not mindless hack and slash and there is a real sense of accomplishment in gradually getting better. In addition to tournaments (you can bet on yourself if you are brave/good enough ;) ) there are arena fights to hone your skills as well as training grounds so you can try out different weapons and ways of fighting.
On the negative side I can say on my Mac Pro 4,1 (2.93Ghz, 16GB. Radeon 4870) I have had a few graphical glitches (occassional colour corruption) but a quick click on Save & Exit got me through those. Performance has been perfect on all max settings. The graphics themselves are a bit old now but more than good enough and I am still pleasantly surprised by the lighting in some of the halls, sky etc.
I've been playing now or about 15 hours and can see I have only scratched the surface.. you really can work your way up to running your own kingdom, help a warmongering noble start a war by burning down a few villages and leaving a few tokens to point the finger etc. It is great fun and I'm off to play some more! I'm still a long way from being king material :)
I wanted to love this game. KB: The Legend is one of my favourite games; I play it a lot, and I had been looking forward to this. What little I've seen of the game was far too linear and very boring; but due to bugs I lack the patience to play any longer.
- the arrow keys were disabled, so I could only use the mouse to play which makes gameplay tedious and many places on the map inaccessible - the mini-map and main map have different orientations, which is confusing - battlefields overlap the content at the bottom of the window so you cannot click on all cells of a battlefield - there is no tutorial, it's sink or swim. Even as someone familiar with the franchise, I felt I was sinking - the text is written in a near-unreadable font: far too small and so badly rendered it keeps dropping certain letters, so that every piece of text becomes a chore. When you spend as much time figuring out text as you do playing, something needs to be fixed. - the game crashes every time I switch to another application. (Much of my gaming time is while waiting for other things to happen: I need to check apps and respond to e-mail. This is not negotiable.)
Other than that, the ability to explore which the other three games had to varying degrees is missing from this game: until you reach the island of the Light you can go along corridors only in a fixed order and the interactions and battles you have are strictly scripted; the opportunity to experiment with different armies and equipment has been mostly eliminated in the first part of the game. I started games as all three races and had very similar experiences, which destroyed the conceit of the game. And then I got to the Island of the Light, which felt as if it was phoned in: you can sail around the outside, or you can stay where you are dumped and fight three very overpowered enemies. There was nothing to explore, no-one to interact with, no side quests or quirky details or minor enemies guarding small treasures: all the things that made the first three parts of the game fun to play.
Add to that the requirement to run Steam, which is a resource hog and causes problems of its own, and I can only throughly recommend that people stay away from this.
Play King's Bounty: The Legend. It's a great game.
I read other reviews and, having played Mystery tracker before, gave it a go. Good puzzles and graphics - main game great but I got bored with the bonus game - only the silly hint hand made me smile.
