Customer Reviews of Legion
Finally.....a strategy game that's fun to play I'll admit right from the start that I'm partial to virtually all things Roman and was looking forward to this game coming out for quite a while. I was getting tired of traditional 'Real Time Simulations' as I find micro-managing to be a bit boring. That being said, Legion is a great deal of fun to play.
Legion has some great merits to it:
1) a short, easy to understand rule book and tutorial. There's nothing as frustrating as getting a new computer game only to have to wade through hundreds of pages of details before you can play it with any hope of success.
2) system requirements are so low that virtually any PC will be able to play it. It's nice not to have to upgrade your entire system just to play a new game.
3) There's a nice mix of game styles here. Enough 'RTS' to feel that you can actually incluence the course of your empire without making you feel like your a mid level paper pusher obsessing over insignificant details. At the same time there's enough tactical play to keep the game interesting overall.
4) Replayability of this game is high. In each campaign there are up to 20 competing nations and you have the ability to play every one.
5) The battlefield graphics. Some 'professional' reviewers are remarking that the graphics in Legion leave something to be desired. I, however, like them. The attention to detail on the battlefields is amazing and a great deal of fun to watch. Yes, the game may not have the latest in 3D technology but it really isn't needed here.
In short, Legion is a fun, solid game in a market that has lacked a good ancient world strategy game.
Flawed game by with a few pluses
Legion is a flawed game, but it is old and you can buy a copy for $7. The city growth is oddly limited, so no city can build every type of building offered. Why is this? I could not tell you. The Real Rome had every type of building the Romans could build; and all Roman cities were just a copy of Rome. It is worth $7, not $8, but $7 is a good price for this game. Wyatt Kaldenebrg
Great Beer and Pretzels Game - High on Fun, Low on History
When board wargaming was in its golden age, we called easy to learn, fun-to-play games good "Beer and Pretzel" games. Legion is a good game and poor simulation of ancient Roman warfare. If you want an accurate computer simulation of ancient warfare during the heyday of the Roman Empire, keep looking. If you want an easy to learn game with an ancient flavor, Legion works fine. I was put off by the basic graphics at first and limited strategic options, but once I learned how the game worked, I found the entertainment value worth the purchase. Buy this game for fun and entertainment, not for historical simulation.
