Legends of Eisenwald looks to strike that balance between RPG titles and strategy ones that previous games such as King's Bounty managed so successfully. In fact, this is probably the strongest comparison I can make to an existing franchise, but seeing as the King's Bounty series is among my favorite games on PC, I consider this to be high praise.
It is clear that the team at Aterdux Entertainment feels that Legends of Eisenwald is geared towards RPG fans, but I am not sure that I agree. Even in their descriptions of the game with lines like "A Story-Driven Strategic RPG" and "Combat feels much more like an RPG than a strategy game" - I feel that while their intent is in the right place, the execution screams strategy game. I feel it is important to make this distinction, because otherwise players looking for an old school RPG title might come away surprised and even disappointed.
Aterdux Entertainment has announced some new downloadable content for their tactical strategy-RPG, Legends of Eisenwald. The DLC is titled "Road to Iron Forest", which includes a new map, a new adventuring location and a new storyline. The developer also revealed that they were starting a Season Pass for future DLC.
Palmer Sturman: Legends of Eisenwald is a testament to a lost art form in gaming. Like Pillars of Eternity, or Divinity: Original Sin, Legends of Eisenwald borrows liberally from popular fantasy titles of the past, but instead it looks towards a different set of titles that, at one time, appealed to a massive audience: Might and Magic and King’s Bounty. It’s an intriguing title that, at best, managed to invoke some of the nostalgia that came from playing those titles as a kid, and, at worst, meandered in terms of pacing due to its weak storyline.
Legends of Eisenwald is the second game from developer Aterdux Entertainment, and a medieval time period piece that allows you to experience a share of Germanic lore and style
