The lord of Mercia has been assassinated, your love kidnapped and home is no more. As Uther, the disgraced Knight Commander, you must lead your misfit band of companions throughout quests riddled with trials. Forge uneasy alliances to acquire the mythical Excalibur sword and defeat the sinister power-obsessed duke of Wessex. Prove your worth as a tactician by exploring all five realms and dangerous locations, such as a frozen fortress hiding a dark secret, an ancient abbey turned into a hideous torture chamber and the mystical island of Avalon. Survive ambushes and rescue those in need by making use of each hero’s abilities to solve puzzles and vanquish your foes. It is up to you define the fate of Britannia… But at what cost?

This game does not deserve so much bad reviews... most them are under 3 hours played.
I played it from start to end twice and enjoyed each step I did, each encounter, each upgrade achieved. It is good game if you want my opinion. The art and soundtrack are engaging. It's these kind of games, well balanced, where a "+1 new upgrade" or "new skill learned" it's a huge step to success. About bugs, I only remember one about wrong character shown during dialogues in cutscenes, but this may differ between computers.
"Worth full price? yes, no?" This heavily depends on your earnings, but, if ou are still unsure about give it a chance, you can always wait for a nice discount.

This game is another example of why steam needs a sideways thumb.
I don't quite get all the negative reviews - the gameplay is fine if you like turn based combat, and I didn't have any complaints there other than slow animations and conversations and storytelling that I didn't want to skip, but also wanted to go much faster. The skills and items aren't deep, but they're an appropriate variety for the game length. The story's... passable, though they made some weird choices on direction, but nothing that made me hate it.
If you like turn based combat this will keep you entertained for 15 hours or so. If you want something special, look elsewhere.

Sword Legacy: Omen takes the Arthurian myth and strips it down to a grittier, more desperate core; one where chivalry is a luxury, cruelty is commonplace and the legendary sword is less a symbol of hope than a burden of responsibility. It’s a bold reinterpretation, and while the execution isn’t flawless, the ambition is unmistakable.
The game’s strategic, turn-based combat is its backbone. Encounters are tense and often punishing, demanding careful positioning, smart synergy between party members, and a keen awareness of environmental hazards. When everything clicks the battles feel genuinely satisfying, but difficulty spikes and some occasionally uneven encounter design can make the experience veer more toward attrition than finesse.
Visually, the game embraces a stylized, almost storybook darkness: thick outlines, stark shadows and a color palette that speaks in bruises and bloodstains. It’s evocative, though sometimes a little stiff in motion. The world itself carries personality: ruined villages, haunted forests and macabre strongholds paint a land teetering on collapse.
Narratively, there’s intrigue to be found. The reimagined cast - broken knights, haunted mages, volatile rogues - adds a welcome edge, even if the writing tends to oscillate between sharp and overwrought. Still, the journey has momentum, and uncovering the myth’s distorted echoes is compelling.
Where Sword Legacy: Omen falters most is polish. Interface quirks, erratic AI behavior and occasional pacing lulls keep it from hitting the heights of its tactical peers. Yet despite the roughness, the game has heart and a distinct identity.
It’s not the definitive modern Arthurian tactics game, but it is an atmospheric, challenging adventure for players who enjoy strategy wrapped in grit, gloom and myth twisted just enough to feel fresh.
