Fraser McIntyre of SpawnFirst reviews Aarklash: Legacy on the PC.
"Tactical RPGs have been making a comeback as of late, of them the most notable are XCOM and Aarklash Legacy. Aarklash continues the tradition, however if I were to describe this game, I would call it a Balls Hard RPG." - Salvador Madrigal of Str N Gaming
Aarklash Legacy provides hours of satisfying strategic squad-based combat, and an excellent active pause system with which to approach any given conflict. The difficulty is severe, but not as prohibitive as its precursor, Confrontation, and the music sets the stage for the world spanning betrayals you’ll be responsible for sorting out.
This is a fantastic hybrid of RPG and RTS and i'd recommend anyone who enjoys either of those types of games to play it.
DHGF: Aarklash: Legacy is the second game from Cyanide Studio in the Confrontation series and jumps from the characters the player has being heroes to being members beholden to a mercenary band and it was the right way to go. The anti-hero’s are out for revenge and the make-up of the group smacks of the gang from Firefly with a dark fantasy twist while going with their complete and own direction. The combat and gameplay has been streamlined with excellent results from the previous title and while there can be some predictability based on the enemies you’re running into the game doesn’t make a habit of throwing filler at you leading to a tight and well-paced story with some great voice actors bringing the characters to life.
I'm actually loving this game. Too each their own I guess.
