Elven Legacy, and its recently launched expansion pack Elven Legacy: Ranger are a fantastic duo for any turn-based strategy wargaming fan. And if you haven't tried a turn-based war game for a while, Elven Legacy is an excellent -- albeit challenging -- point of entry.
Stardock has released the top ten sellers list for Impulse for the week ending on July 31.
Asad Quadri of The Koalition.com Writes: Hey there it's me Asad Quadri, better known as TheExMachina from the Koalition forums. This is my first article called "Under the Radar" where I talk about games from this generation which I feel may have been overlooked and unnoticed due to more mainstream games taking up the spotlight. While we all enjoy "PWNING TEH NOOBS" in a friendly, violent and frenzied deathmatch in Modern Warfare 2, or "CHOPING UP ALL TEH UGLY LOCUST WITH TEH LANCER" in Horde mode in Gears of War 2, there are games out there which offer something different.
Something perhaps you've never tried before and something which offers just as much playability and entertainment as the majority of the mainstream products. In this article, I talk about a turn-based strategy game called Elven Legacy, from publishers Paradox Interactive and developers 1C Company. I am enjoying this game very much as it provides something different to other mainstream titles out there. It's a great way to be introduced to more sophisticated wargames, as the gameplay is easy enough for beginners to learn, but challenging enough for even the most hardened turn-based war veteran. If you are up for something different, fun and exigent, then Elven Legacy could be right up your street.
Boomtown writes: "Ranger and Siege add 35 missions, five heroes, new artefacts, spells and armies. While this sounds like a lot the vast majority of the expansions remain completely unchanged. Both games feel like the developer has done a copy and paste job. This means that if you only flirted with the original you will find very little to sink your teeth into. Also, if you were looking for a continuation of the original story then you might be disappointed to learn that Ranger and Siege depart from this. Ranger focuses on a human ranger named Cornelius while Siege, set several months after Ranger, follows the invasion of the human lands by Saggitel and his elves. Both stories don't really draw you in as it is very clichéd and plays out like a very low budget Lord of the Rings."
