Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes

Game crashes frequently.

It's a boring dud.

Great game.

I need to play more but first impression is it's Civilization on steroids. The are "quests" and a welcome tutorial.
A lot of civ's mechanics are at work but they've added "monsters." I really hope the monsters didn't kill all the roaming barbarians but I suspect they did.

If this game is available for cheap, and you like strategy, get it. It has a tutorial which mostly helps and is how I know it's a Civ successor.

This game was great in 2013 when i bought it, now in 2025 its only $`12 AUD
so get it

its butt ugly, but playable strategy 4x fantasy game
6/10

Yes

pretty standard empire builder. troop customization is good and when added to spell buffs and equipment can make very robust troops. the story mode is ok but not exceptional. suffice to say I replay this reasonably often

Been a great time killer

The game is good

But the crashing especially after many hours played its like the issues mount up and it leads to more and more crashing and error messages

other things that bother me you could be working out what to build in your town you click one thing it then takes you to research then to level up then combat this i don,t like let me finish the build list then go to the next thing let me confirm im done -
to add on this in options you can stop it autoing the turns that helps with this but on the flip side every turn you have to check the citys build queue each time then push finish turn

unplayable due to bugs

Excellent game. But after a save you can't load it again. Win 11. CTD when loading a saved game. It broke. It broke bad.

The game is fun to play while it works, but it is filled with bugs.

Crashes frequently. Crashes on startup. I rarely review; but since this game is unplayable, it's worth the warning to any future purchaser. There are old posts on how to fix it, but all seem to be temporary fixes as the next round of loading a game starts the crashes all over again. Frankly, not worth it. Find a game that works instead. Too bad; because otherwise, a good game.

Crashes frequently from the mid-game on.

Other than that and the lack of mods, I like it a lot.
Sadly I don't think it is ever getting fixed.

8/10 - My first 4X strategy game and great introduction to the genre. For a genre that generally seems intimidating Fallen Enchantress does a great job at teaching the player how to doggy paddle so to speak. Art feel a little outdated (because it is), soundtrack is pleasant but nothing to write home about, where FE shines is in it versatility, faction creation and simplistic game play. Would highly recommend as a introductory to the genre.

I think about this game often, and very fondly, surprised I had never left a review. The game is excellent, was on my top 5 hours played for many years.

If you enjoy a lot of room to experiment with troops and tactical battles, you will probably enjoy this quite a bit.

Simply the greatest 4x game ever made.

Anything that "betters" this will upgrade it only in terms of technological capabilities. No 4x before or since Fallen Enchantress has ever been so ambitious, and done so well.

AOW4 is the closest we've got, but everything AOW4 has, FE already had, and then some.

Highly underrated, underappreciated, and misunderstood.

Its simple. They updated well over the years.

I liked it.

Give it a try. It's odd.

I really like that not only does your main character advance throughout the game, but all your other heroes and your cities also advance. As your cities advance, they specialize and start giving you access to new magic items.

Great game!

Oddly immersive 4x turn strategy, especially with designing custom units.

5/10. Perfectly passable for a 4X strategy game. Could be better, could be worse!

Amazing gameplay, tons of fun and challenging on any difficulty, turn based building and movement for your armies. overall amazing game

Gosh ppl! The game is simple and great! I love the possibiltiy of given ur troops the stuff u like. Its very balanced. Its mini Civ with fantasy. And even after 300hrs i still like to play it on hardest mode!

So this is an older game but it's good.

Short and sweet: this is an oldie but goodie, and I really appreciate the diversity, city building, and flexibility to play the way I want to. There's something here for anyone that's a fan of 4x and/or turn based strategy games: with a HEAVY draw you in for "just one more turn" mentality. It's a very unique approach. The artwork is holding up surprisingly well for 2024. This truly is a gem. Get it and enjoy something unique, yet delightfully familiar! What a treat! CHEERS!

Fun to play. Love the ability to make custom maps.

This is a good game. It plays like Civilization crossed with D&D. The tactical battles could be better and the game could have used a bit more polish. Note, if the savegame can no longer be loaded and the game crashes: Start a new game and then load the game in question - this solved the problem. Overall: Good! 08/10

COOL GAME

Honestly one of my favorite strategy games ever.
