About the Game
Legions of Ashworld is a turn-based war-game, which brings a sense of adventure to strategic war-gaming with its first-person view of an open world environment. The game is set in a ancient fantasy world of kings, wizards and fearsome creatures. When a powerful empire invades the lands governed by humans all the realms are plunged into a great conflict. It is the player's task to organise the opposition to the invading forces, uniting the kingdoms into an alliance and ultimately in taking the war back to the invaders.As the various characters encountered across Ashworld are recruited to the player's cause, the player can then move them around the lands, having them performing a variety of activities, such as hiring mercenaries, buying goods and provisions, and attacking hostile forces. The lands of Ashworld contain many places of interest - especially noteworthy are various temples, from those occupied by servants of wizards' orders which provide magic services, to ancient abandoned ruins where valuable magic items can be found. Outside the territories where humans reside other races live who may become important allies if persuaded to join the war.
Main features:
- an open-world environment where exploration supplements strategic planning and tactical decisions
- easy management of resources
- hand drawn graphics in the style of classic, golden age, illustration
- designed to cater for custom scenarios/modding
Special notes
Legions of Ashworld is a hard game, suitable for players wanting something different with a lot of challenge. Those who are not ready for the defeat should stay away.

TL;DR: Recommended only if you like Lords of Midnight, Cryo's Dune and old-school strategy games.
This is retro strategy wargame in the vein of Lords of Midnight and Cryo's Dune. Plays much like an old school strategy boardgame, and is mostly intended for players who like that sort of thing. Others will probably not like it.
It is a strategy game in the truest sense, meaning that you will have to come up with an overarching plan and adapt it to the situation if you are to have any hope of victory; you need to strike a balance between recruiting allies, keeping your own troops supplied and rested, and eliminating smaller enemy groups before they can concentrate their forces. Great artwork and nice music. The game also gets points for using a Middle East / North Africa inspired fantasy setting instead of the overused medieval (Western/Central) Europe one.
Unfortunately, the game doesn't have the same epic "feel" as LoM or Dune, partly because it removes the Lord of the Rings-like quest in LoM in order to focus on the strategy aspect, and partly because the writing, while functional, feels somewhat flat and uninspired. The world it presents is interesting but under-developed, and the characters don't really have anything in the way of personality. It's a decent game for its price, but looks unfinished and left me wanting more. It has only one proper scenario plus a tiny tutorial and, while the game hints that more scenarios were planned, nothing came of this or of the announced scenario editor. In other words, once you beat the scenario you're effectively done with the game (there are three difficulty levels, but the harder ones seem to simply give the enemy more troops and magic items).
The game is mostly bug-free, though odd stuff can happen if you start a new game immediately after finishing your last (exit the game and restart instead) or if you try to scroll far away from the map.
