Elven Legacy Review

Paradox Interactive and 1C:Ino-Co's Elven Legacy is the subject of a couple more reviews this evening.

First up is GameShark, where the game scored a "B":
Fact is, Elven Legacy doesn't push any envelopes or try to add some fancy new twist to the genre. It's generic in almost every conceivable way. But it still has the ability to get its hooks in you and when it does you'll end up like me laughing at the dialogue, cursing the difficulty and fully realizing that it isn't doing a whole lot different from the many turn based strategy games that have come before it.but you then notice it's 2 A.M. and you've been at it for hours. Is that a testament to Elven Legacy or to the design that it's borrowed from other games? Does that even matter?

And the other is at GDN with a score of 6.0/10:
Personally this game isn't something that I would want to pick up and play again and again because it just wasn't engrossing enough. I felt the storyline didn't entice me to want to contine playing and see where I was going to end up next. Though the battle tactics differed and challenged me it just wasn't enough and I couldn't quite manage to squeeze much enjoyment from it. Sorry guys at 1c but if you manage to break any new ground rather than disguising another turn based game in a shiny exterior I will be very interested to know what you've produced.
