What’s It About?
FALLEN ENCHANTRESS: LEGENDARY HEROES takes place in a fantasy world reeling from a cataclysmic event that has released bands of roaming monsters and destroyed much of civilization. Players take on the role of a hero emerging from the desolation to restore and build life anew. The other heroes that players encounter are randomized with each new game, and different stories emerge from how players respond to and guide the building of their kingdoms in these different conditions.
Is It Any Good?
Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes follows a long-established tradition of turn-based strategy games featuring nation building and expansion. The most famous of these types of games is Civilization, and Legendary Heroes tweaks and refines this model, making it a fine representation of the genre. It maintains core features such as city and citizen management while adding troop-level tactical combat and character-level customization, including character leveling and upgradable equipment. The total package works quite well as a deep, strategic game wherein players have a lot of fine detail control over government (such as setting tax rates) and hero development.
