Legends Of Eisenwald: Video Game Overview
HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC, King’s Bounty, Disciples – Many in the post-Soviet space, having walked these words, fall into the sacred trans. Developers from Belorussian Aterdux entertainment They fell under this magic back in 2004, when a genre-similar strategy was made “Time of Conference”. After 11 years, they released an ideological continuation – Legends of eisenwald. True, there are no dwarves, elves and demons – the main demons are human passions and vices ..Legends Of Eisenwald: Video Game OverviewIn addition to the usual “units” and mercenaries, the so-called followers can still travel – they join, even if you have exhausted the limit in the detachment.
Mystical realism

Yes, “Legends Eisenwald” – This is the so-called low fantasy, a fairly plausible medieval world, resembling a mixture from the tales of the King Arthur and “Songs of Ice and Flame”. There are nice (and not very) Knights on horses in golden lats, there are some damned mills, witches, sorcerers and insidious dead girls who drag the wandering knights to the bottom of the lake, but the main driving forces in this world are political intrigues, war,struggle for power, lust (sometimes bleak mixing) and personal care.

The main character or heroine (at the start you choose between, conditionally, warrior, a lunch and magician-mystic), the whole story campaign is trying to take revenge on the killed family and return taken away the lands and at the same time constantly gets involved in internecine conflicts, territorial wars and dirty political games.

Who to support – the Knight’s Order, mired in debauchery, or clergy, ready to murder and the flag to get attracted land? And maybe new bourgeois and roshimers who calmly get rid of those who are no longer needed? Stand up aside will not work. All the way we are engaged in unpleasant things: we kill debtors, send the whole family of the girl to the world, so that it can live with a loved one, we go to a deal with a person, ready to kill my mother, we cooperate with a scoundrel in order not to lose the knightly title, and soFurther.

Choosing B “Eisenwald Legends” There is almost always – the plot here is non-linear, our solutions affect the available quests, on the end and even on what will be told in taverns for a mug of beer. It happens and the ability to recoup the person of noble, ready, for example, to pay redemption for someone, and not just spit on it. Still, most often it is a choice between big and small evil.Legends Of Eisenwald: Video Game OverviewHorses are characterized by their characteristics, and for them Special equipment is sold.
Old cocktail

In such a non-standard setting, the standard unfolds King’s Bounty with elements Disciples 2 – Although not devoid of some individual characteristics. We study the card in step-by-step mode, perform quests, hire the affordable troops in different buildings (for example, in villages and monasteries), fight and capture the locks to receive income from the settlements adjacent to them, mines and mines.

Fight again in step-by-step mode, which is a combination of ideas King’s Bounty And Disciples 2. Fighters are clearly placed on the positions (“Tanks” ahead, the arrows behind them, then there are magicians and sorcerers) almost a friend opposite each other, so long movements to take a position boosting, there is no. If we go, it is sure to hit. Or retreat. “Tanks” are associated with the near fight with each other, and approach the archer or the MAG, even if the path to it is open, as a rule, do not give.

Not to all such a combat system seems logical – some players at the beta test stage requested the authors to fix it. But they did not agree – they say, otherwise, the development, which lasted the already five years, would have been delayed even more. One way or another, there is a tactic in such battles, albeit quite specific. Special color, she also gives the opportunity to bring down the enemy knight with a horse, authentic medieval weapons with different bonuses and fines, as well as a small number of attacking spells from magicians – they are mainly engaged in friendly and moral support.

For victories we get experience points and transform them into new levels. And all “units” – and here again need to remember Disciples 2 – There are alternative branches of development, and then three or four. Who will eventually become a shy herbal – a dark witch or a light sorceress? Who will turn together a young nobleman – in a knight, paladin or wizard blade? The choice is yours.Legends Of Eisenwald: Video Game OverviewThe authors are now working to correct the bug with experience, so after some time and at the normal level of difficulty life will not seem to be.
Variable complexity

You need to capture the locks, but to develop them – no: it is the adventure game, and not a strategy with many resources. Resource here is just one: gold-silver. And even if you have no income from the land (the enemies captured your buildings), nothing terrible will happen: just mercenaries requiring regular salary will refuse to fight until the debt repayment – but, as a rule, there are enough ordinary, disinterested “units”eyes.

Even protect the locks personally and leave there protection, in principle, optionally. After capturing the fortress, the garrison chosen or driver’s tower appears automatically after a while (and even immediately) and himself fights and gradually “pumping out”.

However, this does not mean that you fell to the resort. Resort B “Eisenwald Legends” Only on the light and normal levels of complexity (which, by the way, is not good). Because of the bug with a set of experience, your troops are very quickly “pumping out” and one left, to the hobby, win the strongest enemies, even those whom, in the author’s idea, you and you could not kill something until time.

But on a complex and very complex, a real game begins, which constantly keeps in a t1. Opponents much more actively attack your possessions, better fight, are developing faster, and after some time, if you’re wrong, you can already encounter some unbeatable volatile squad led by the Knight of Ivanhik Godlaikov.Legends Of Eisenwald: Video Game OverviewThere is a lot of text in the game, and in each tavern you can hear some interesting legend or history.
mission Impossible?

Popping force numerous quests. Come at a certain time, leave your people in the next tower, hide around such a castle at night at night with three fighters, pass through the woods in a certain order, listen to conversations in the tavern and make the right conclusions – almost all tasks are complex, multistage.

True, it has a reverse side. In such complex quests, complex and scripts: You should do something wrong or not on time (for example, if you used to kill Ursula, chapter one of the factions) – and everything. Sometimes the logic suffers. According to one of the tasks, you must in three stages to search for hooks, how to get to a star well to gain a special water there. But if you find it yourself, just wandering around the map, – nothing will happen. Or with the same Ursula: You have already sent it on a date to the forefathers, and then give the quest on her murder, but to say: “Guys, yes I already did it!»For some reason it is impossible.

However, in how difficult to build really complex, nonlinear quests, each can make sure the editor comes with the game with a full set of developers tools.Legends Of Eisenwald: Video Game OverviewSome cards are just huge.***
Yes, even after five years of creation “Legends Eisenwald” Require a certain refinement. And these work are undernovably and Nosno. And yet it is already clear that the game succeeded. We got a beautiful, big and complex adventure, which, besides, makes thinking about serious questions.
