Game News Legends of Eisenwald Released

Aterdux Entertainment's medieval strategy RPG Legends of Eisenwald concluded its long, long journey from Kickstarter through Early Access to final release today. It's now available on Steam for the price of $30 minus 15% launch discount, and I assume that additional platforms are on the way. Here's the launch trailer and description from the store page:

Legends of Eisenwald is an adventure game with tactical battles, RPG and strategy elements. Take the lead of a small feudal army and try to defend your right to survive in this ruthless medieval world.

The mysterious lands of old Germany are waiting for you - it's a land where the superstitions of the time have come to life. This isn’t a fantasy game. There are no elves or dragons here. There are only people - and their passions, sins and fears that often take a tangible form. Which path will you choose? Live according to your conscience? Or live by power and might? Or will you live by justice? And what is your justice, really?

Game features

• A unique and dynamic combat system - each move is also an attack
• The ability to individually equip *each* fighter in your army
• A large selection of weapons, spells and abilities, including the option to use mounted units
• Diverse upgrade trees, and each unit level up provides cosmetic changes
• An intriguing non-linear story
• A distinctive game world without common fantasy cliches
• Over 50 hours of gameplay within the game. A main campaign consisting of eight chapters plus two additional scenarios.
• A beautiful symphonic soundtrack in a medieval style
• An accompanying Scenario Editor with the full set of developer tools

Eisenwald's journey may not be over yet, though. Aterdux clearly have ambitions for this game, having raised its price from $20 to $30 upon leaving Early Access, and a post on their website reveals that they already have additional content planned, with a $20 "expansion pass" granting access to all of it. Pretty gutsy! Well, congratulations guys, and good luck. Hopefully our review isn't too far off.

Digital and physical rewards

Digital rewards will be done through Humble where you can also get your keys (check update #42 for details). We had an unexpected issue today and we were not able to set it up through Humble. We will do it hopelly tomorrow, sorry for the delay.

As for physical rewards, printing and making them took longer than we anticipated plus some last minute issues unfortunately didn't make it possible for us to send it out. We will do it though sometime next week. A lot of things are printed, some are ordered and need to be picked up. Please accept our apologies for this delay too.

Overall, we wish you to have fun experience with the game!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

All of us at Aterdux

Will there be a review?

 

[Crooked Bee]

If someone bothers to write one, then sure.

 

[Excidium II]

Combat looks almost like a blobber with how small the battlefield is. There's like 30 hexes for 20 dudes

 

[Zed]

I don't get it. How do I get my steam key? Yes, yes - humble bundle blah blah. I'll need a code to redeem it from there.

 

[Grotesque]

So... it was released on a Thursday.

 

[LeStryfe79]

I think I kickstarted this when I was was drank as fuck. I'll right a review next thursday of premium quality.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Will there be a review?

At least three, but stay forever vigilant for two of them will be FAKE reviews, stained orange with sin and dorito dust. Be sure to vote for the REAL one in the poll next week.

The to-play-list is growing and growing...

Good. I was really waiting for this and I am 5 hours in and I like it. I expected to like it and it did not fail me. Still to early to say but management of resources is good, itemization is interesting, combat is more than OK (but I love turn based and I am clearly biased here, especially after PoE and Witcher 3 stupid real time). Story is so-so. Medieval atmosphere is decent. Quests are not too clear to fallow but I am not sure I am against it (with a few exceptions that are really foggy). Hmm, going in some more next week.

PS. This game is somewhere halfway between RPG and Strategy; I like them both so it may not suit all.

 

[mindx2]

I might have to break my "Wait to play until physical box shows up" rule and go ahead and play this one.....

 

[Cyberarmy]

I highly recommed this game for anyone who loves turn based games. Main stargey/rpg map is not turn based though. (simultaneous)But battles themselves are more than enough.

Will you play drunk and then review it sober or will you play sober and review it drunk?

 

[LeStryfe79]

I don't remember making that post. I must have been hacked by trolls.

INB4 you start claiming that for all posts about crack-whores.

 

[Krraloth]

I just want you to deliver, hacker or not.

 

[LeStryfe79]

That would require me to search my email and find the steam key. There is always a chance.

To be honest if I had your skills I'd make finding the steam key part of a ongoing installment of raw, unedited opinions about the game step by step.
Starting from the hunt of the aforementioned key, of course.

Was interested in this before being a King's Bounty whore who is sick to death of KB expansions but that trailer looked a little flaky. Checked on Steam and there appears to be a lot of negative reviews claiming it's banal, shit, boring with shallow combat that requires no strategy. If even Steamtards are calling it casual and lacking, I can only imagine how lackluster it may be. That's unfortunate.

You could also ask the opinions of one of the...at least 44 Codexers who own it.

Who to trust? Steam or Codex? The chicken or the egg?

Who to trust? Steam or Codex?

There was a time that the two weren't one and the same, sadly that time has long passed.

It's like the steam curator is passing through a rebellious stage.
