Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking forgiving progression may dislike the possibility of losing troops, gold, and inventory later in the game.
- Players looking for real-time combat or a conventional fantasy setting may not suit this game's tactical system and human-focused world.
- Players who want a short, linear campaign may find the stated 50-plus-hour scope and non-linear story unsuitable.
Our take on Legends of Eisenwald
The store page emphasizes over 50 hours of gameplay and a broad set of systems, while its warning gives equal importance to a punitive possibility: later sections may remove troops, gold, and inventory without advance notice.
What is Legends of Eisenwald?
Lead a small feudal army through a medieval adventure combining tactical battles, RPG elements, and strategy.
Each move is also an attack, while individual equipment lets every fighter receive separate gear. Weapons, spells, abilities, mounted units, and upgrade trees provide options for developing the army. The non-linear story takes place in old Germany, where superstition has taken tangible form. The setting contains people and their conflicts rather than elves or dragons. The game includes a main campaign of eight chapters, two additional scenarios, and over 50 hours of gameplay. A scenario editor comes with the full set of developer tools. The game also warns that later sections may remove troops, gold, and inventory without revealing when this will happen.
