Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. I completely understand those who buy this & give a positive review because it enables them to re-live childhood memories. It just isn't very good though.

Dark Legions, developed by Silicon Knights and later reintroduced by SNEG, is a distinctive strategy title that blends turn-based planning with real-time combat in a way that still feels unusual even by modern standards. Originally released in the mid-1990s, it reflects a period when developers were experimenting with hybrid designs, and it stands out as one of the more successful attempts to merge tactical foresight...

This is by and far one of the best hybrid Action/Strategy games period to this very day. Keep in mind the combat system revolves heavily around a popular game at that time which was Archon/Archon Ultra. Very possible you won't enjoy the top-down melee but if you can suffer through that it's a very rich game with tons of replay value. One could hope that at least Remote Play can be made to work on it in the future so...

It is just as I remember with emulator like overlays for the visuals. The game itself was fantastic and deep. I still want to play around with this more but it for the price point, it is worth the install. Hopefully, with enough buzz, we may see a true remake in the future.

I played this game a lot when it originally came out. I hope I can figure out how to make it recognize my controller. I'm not great with keyboard controls, and when it switches to the battles I really need that. Its a turn based strategy game that also requires your skill in battle to win the location, and once you (or they) find your "Orb keeper" and beat them its over. You have several traps and types of pieces...

Even though I am recommending this game, it must be understood it has two very frustrating problems, on of which *is* Steam's fault, and one of which is not. The problem that *is* Steam's fault is saying the game cannot support the use of a controller. Folks, yes it can! I remember playing the PC disc version decades ago... *with* a controller! All you have to do, *in* the game, is go to the settings menu. Change...

Dark Legions is a cool concept that blends strategy with more action-oriented gameplay, and I probably would’ve loved it back when it was new for how different it felt from other titles of its time. Playing it now, though, it feels clunky and dated, and it just doesn’t hit the same level of fun or engagement as other fantasy PC games from the era. That said, I can see why it’s fondly remembered - nostalgia goes a...
