Elven Legacy delivers a world filled with magic, and a thrilling nonlinear storyline, gauged to provide many hours of gameplay for strategy enthusiasts. Play as an elf or a human, in the two primary campaigns - or why not the Orcs, in a wide variety of bonus missions? With the accompanying tools, players may also create their own missions and campaigns, and share them through multiplayer.  Turn-based strategy games are rarely synonymous with appealing visuals, with number crunching hexagonal battlefields often taking precedence over eye-catching 3D vistas. But Elven Legacy is a break from tradition because it's a sweet-looking turn-based strategy fantasy romp from the creators of the entertaining-if flawed-Fantasy Wars. Indeed, during a recent playtest of virtually finished code we found many similarities between the two titles, though it was also striking just how much developer 1C:Ino-Co has taken onboard the criticisms of its previous game and attempted to rectify its shortfalls. And while it may be visually inferior to strategy leviathans such as Empire: Total War, Elven Legacy proves exponentially more appealing on the corneas than many of its turn-based counterparts.  Set in a mystical land populated by elves, humans, dwarves and sorcerers, Elven Legacy is a deep strategy game packed with sprawling 3D levels populated with lush forests, towering hills, vast mountain ranges and ominous enemy strongholds. The plot centres on the elves' hunt for a human sorcerer who has cast a forbidden spell: fearful that he'll teach the taboo incantation to others, an act that could endanger the world's very existence, the Elven High Council orders Glyven and Sagittel – a sorceress and a ranger – to the realms of man to track down the wrongdoer before he can cause any further mischief. Of course, such an incursion into human lands can only mean one thing - war.  |
