Legends of Eisenwald

**TL;DR:**
A quirky RTS with RPG elements, set in a unique medieval German environment with a challenging exploration mode.
**Score: 26/30**
It’s a bit buggy and the UI can be unclear at times, with some punishing mechanical elements that feel gratuitous. A good buy for under 5€ despite the graphics, especially for hardcore PC gamers with a taste for the setting.

This game may be graphically dated and have a few bugs, but the environment and storytelling are worth the price alone.
The game is impressively accurate in depicting a medieval German setting, with complex hex-based combat that requires careful planning. Battles are hard and punishing, so players need to be strategic about who they bring along as part of their retinue. The addition of light castle economy management is a nice bonus that adds depth to the gameplay.
The storyline is tropeful, but not banal. Side quests are interesting and flavorful, though some require a bit of pixel-peeping on the map. The RPG aspects show their age in that they can be quite unforgiving: some early game choices will impact the entire game without the player realizing it, while other seemingly major choices result in only minor mechanical benefits. Plus, you often feel like you’re running against the clock. This does add to the tension, but you might find yourself restarting some levels multiple times.
The maps are intriguing and well-designed, with a mix of fairy tales, politics, and commerce that tie into the overarching story. Do not expect companions or romance, the protagonist it's the only focus. It’s not a game for everyone, but if you’re into medieval historical fantasy and challenging, tactical-focused games, it’s worth picking up.
On sale or from third party markts it's a great deal if you can overlook the slightly dated graphics. On the plus side, it will run on a potato, so even integrated graphics can handle it.

Good game, but definitely not for every one. Pretty hard, huge ammount of text and also very long. But if you dont mind these oldschool things i think you will like it.

Started the game to try it out "for a bit"...
12 hours later I'm devastated it's Sunday night and I'm too old to pull an all nighter xD
