Can you survive this furiously fast, kill-for-money, real-time blood-fest? There's nowhere to hide as you smash your opponent in'to-the-limit' conflict. And, while you've got a few nanoseconds to spare, you've got to build to survive, mechs, tanks, troops, mounted slavens - a host of murderous military units who will hone their killing skills with experience.
Just what devastating effect does a 7th legion priest have in battle? what happens when you summon the dark legion?
The landscape is isometric and you've got to be ice-cool to survive in the blazing heat of combat. And there's more! Random power ups and a massive selection of battle cards that can turn the tides of war in a flash. But be careful: you don't know what cards your opponent is holding and even when you've got his last trooper cornered he might play the battle card that wipes away your entire force!
Salvation? They'll be lucky to find a stone to crawl under! 7th Legion

So much Struggle to make it work, just to be reminded why I didn't like it :(
very cool rts. devs could patch the resolution on modern systems at least
Hey guys I just finished the single player campaign with 7 legion and I wanted to share my feelings.
Game is extremely cheap so we shouldnt even bother if we really SHOULD buy it - its here for us, 90s kids who used to play this games during our childchood period. Despite its a bit glitchy to move units and not really comfortable about the controls or mechanics itself, it still given me some fun and satisfaction to win the maps and in the end, the game.
From my perspective some of the mechanics were really interestingly put into the game when it was designed - for example exping and promoted units, robots(in general:)) ) as well as the cards with spells are really something that makes the game kind of unique experience. Despite its glitchy it's still worth playing if you like RTS and used to play demo of this game when you were just a kid. was quite fun for me, and a real achievment to finish the game.
If you guys have any problems opening the game just google a bit - was unable to start the game by myself, i googled out DDU app to open the game in windowed mode at first, but in the end the game was working okay itself later on.
Just spent few coins for the game and now I am proud of myself :)
If you want super extra fun, graphics and well working product - that's not the one. If you would like to get to some of your childchood memories with good and bad meaning of that - that's the game. Have fun!
Its makeup is cool but bad/limited execution. I don't know which card does what. My troops wont go where I say to go. I can see 4 square feet of the map at a time. Completing missions for money puts emphasis on micro and thats the unique thing. The units are varied enough that there IS a game buried here somewhere. Someone please revitalize this.
This is the first PC game I played back in the 90's, I felt so nostalgic of seeing this available in Steam...
If you never played this game I would only recommend it if you like retro games. Otherwise you may want to consider something more modern.
If you are willing to buy it just keep in mind that you will need to download DxWnd to get it to work in Win10.
This is one of those good, overlooked RTS games from the 90s. Most modern gamers take a look at the graphics of a game and then pass it over. In that case, many gamers would simply ignore this title.
However, this is one of, if not the first sci-fi RTS game to also incorporate a card system. Not in the sense of trading or collecting, but rather as usable abilities, buffs, debuffs, and attacks that you "drag and drop" from your hand (up to five cards) in the upper-right.
There are two factions, and this game boils down to something that I miss dearly: Good vs evil, a concept that is nowhere near as present in modern gaming. You muster your infantry, tanks, and a variety of bi-pedal mechs with weapons such as lasers and huge rockets, then march off to crush the evil Chosen.
Is this as good as the greatest, such as WarCraft II or Age of Empires I? Nope. However, this is easily worth $7. I played the original version when it launched in the 90s, and this game has full compatibility with Windows 10. Cinematics, sound; everything.
I played this back in the 90s. Its a great game!
Sadly it will not work on my computer and the steam fix wont help.
I bought this game because it brings back great memories. It is a classic to me and I would buy this just for this reason. Although the dinamics of it are strange I really love the game and enjoyed it so much as a kid even though I only played a demo of it which was AWESOME !! 8/10 A-. Just a great experiance for a strategy game enthusiast !
Warning: Rosetinted nostalgia goggles are equipped.
Ah yes, the good old days.
7th Legion is a good game with lots of charm.
It's also the only game I can remember that has such an pisspoor pathfinding.
Like, the pathfinding is atrociously bad.
Units not moving when ordered or moving into places you haven't even had your cursor near bad.
Yet I like the game.
Release a game on steam that require you to have an OS that was before Steams time.
If you dont have win98(Who would?) You need to download a thing and delete some things.
They haven't bothered to release a fix for it. Damn shame, because the game is great. I recommend the game, but at the same time I can't since they released a broken version for every OS that's out there.
WARNING: This game can only function under Win98 or lower version. It doesn't support advanced operation system.
Don't buy this game. It's a scam. You can't run it in WinXP or advanced version because you will encounter a blurred screen.
Although there have some people suggested that you need to download and install a software named DXWND in order to make it work correctly. But why I must do it when I met the system requirements in the above list?
Buy the game, install it, go to the SFX folder of the game and look for files with the extension XM. specifically look for BGM6.XM. and then just google for a XM to mp3 converter and you are done.
the game price is worth it for that track alone.
the game on its own its ok, i bought it on GoG some time ago and years before i played it on my old MMX pentium.
the AI is dumb but the dreadful pathing and the completely overpowered and ridiculous card system will make the game challenging enough. if you are expecting a strategy game you'll be disappointed, most of the time you'll make a small group of units and make your way to the enemy base and then win the game with a combination of cards and units. cards like teleport are incredibly useful, it makes your units teleport to their next move command, which means you can teleport an entire army to the enemy base and win... but then the AI can smite your units, or just play a silly desperation card like Armageddon and end the game in defeat for EVERYONE.
the missions can get REALLY hard because all it takes for the AI to get a few good cards in a row and your mighty army will get blown up. a lot of missions will end with you trading bases and abusing positioning, personally im fine with that.
it can get quite frantic, specially paired with the lack of resource system, you get credits for killing enemy units and periodically in a system similar to the FFVIII SEED system. the better you do the better pay you get, and you can get promotions by completing the randomly generated missions.
on top of all this there's constant random drops all over the map, so keeping a big army spread all over the map can be of great use.
the unit design is all right, but the old resolution looks pretty dated, specially on the FMVs. there's some HEAVY Warhammer 40k influences here and there's nothing wrong with that.
late game balance is pretty screwed, the blues get long range missiles of doom that avoid most pathing issues, paired with a triple barrelled tank... while the reds get a wonky spider bot that gets stuck on terrain all the time and a heavy hitting tank with a short range... as you can see unit pathing is bad enough to affect game balance.
I use to love this game but unfortuately it is so out of date it isnt worth playing if you have windows 8, 8.1 or 10
If you have problems getting the game to work then forget using the enclosed DXWrapper. Use DXWnd instead which you can download from their sourceforge webpage. Once installed If you look in the DXWnd 'exports' folder you will find compatibility templates. Just pick a template for a similar DirectDraw game from that time period, unless you want to create your own. Make sure to change the path to your legion.exe and untick 'run in window' or choose resolution, etc.
As for the game, I would only recommend it for RTS veterans that played the original genre games like C&C, KKND, Dune, Warcraft, etc and are happy to play a game from that era. If you don't know what you are getting into then I would probably say don't bother and just play something more modern instead.
Features;
Action Card System that is used to change the dynamics of the battle.
A.I. uses the Action Card System as well.
Units rank up with experience.
Earn resources from destroying enemy units.
Can put units into squads with [CTRL]+[1] or [CTRL]+[2] and then quick select with [1] or [2], etc.
Can select all units in screen view by right clicking on a unit.
Random crate drops on battlefield.
Random events can occur throughout battle.
FMV cutscenes between campaign missions.
Music is interesting if you don't mind electronical/industrial metal.
Can only build one infantry or tank unit, etc at a time even if you have multiple barracks or factorys, etc.
Pathfinding can be a little annoying sometimes but is manageable if you keep things simple.
This is an old skool RTS game and therefore the mechanics are quite simple by modern standards. Basically, just build a large army as quick as you can and try to overpower the enemy. The randomness from the Action Card System, the drop crates, and the random events can be a blessing or a curse.
This game is similar to the original Command & Conquer games, but more confusing and harder to grasp as it doesn't explain what certain units and buildings do in-game or what the controls are.
The storyline is interesting but I would just stick with C&C.
3/10
After those many years gone game is, is strickly speaking, out of date ;) Barely playable. Ofcoz you still can play it, but no fun really. Sadly, 'cos it was one of my favourites, back then. Just forget it. Nope.
Game doesnt work.....why is it on steam?
Because of the money grab.
Don't buy this game until the new publisher releases a fix (which will probably never happen)
It has a cool intro and soundtrack though.
Blast from the Past.The game is barely playable on today's PCs but definatly worth it for the nostalgia
Blair Zuppicich, the composer for 7th Legion and most other Vision Software titles is an unsung master of video game music. Sadly, his works always tend to end up in rather flawed games, and 7th Legion is no exception. The game's premise is great, though a bit too heavily influenced by Warhammer 40000, especially when it comes to unit designs.
It also has some pretty interesting mechanics, most importantly a card game system, which it probably was the first RTS games to have, even though we've seen it more recently (and better executed) in games like Divinity: Dragon Commander and Battleforge.
7th Legion sadly has issues with many of the genre's fundamentals - path finding and mouse interface among the worst offenders, often making you struggle against the UI to get even basic stuff done (especially since modern CPU's are too fast to give you the intended delay from clicking to getting the unit behavior menu that's only supposed to appear after you've held the left mouse button for a second. You'll also notice the main menu animations going way too fast, but the in-game cutscenes work as intended).
All in all it's a pretty interesting title from the era when we saw the creative peak of the genre, it's a deeply
flawed RTS, certainly not at the level of classics like Dark Reign or Total Annihilation, or even Krush Kill 'N Destroy but over all I think it's worth experiencing.
This is a no-frills re-release of the 1997 Game. If you liked it then, you'll like it now. No fresh coat of paint, no additional features, nothing. For better or worse, it is exactly as it was.
For the uninitiated, 7th Legion is an RTS about two factions, the 7th Legion and the Chosen. The Chosen are comprised of the rich, powerful, and uber smart that evacuated Earth when pollution rendered the planet uninhabitable. The 7th Legion are so-called because they were the ones left behind, and this is the seventh generation after the evacuation. The Chosen come back from deep space to reclaim the planet, the 7th Legion resists, and that's about it. There's no real story beyond the intro video.
As far as play styles go, the infantry are mirrored on both sides. It's in the vehicles and Assault Chassis (mechs) that the two factions diverge. The 7th Legion has hard-hitting vehicles, and The Chosen have awesome AC's.
The game's economy is gifted in regular intervals of time. The player's rank will determine how many Credits are given during these intervals. Rank is achieved through a hidden XP system. Killing units, completing objectives, and destroying buildings all contribute. Credits can also be earned in the same fashion plus some additional means such as collecting crates and from "card" effects (more on that below).
The game has a unique system that adds an additional layer of strategy, playing cards. These cards are gifted every other interval or found in crates and have a wide variety of effects. They can instantly grant soldiers, burn the enemy in an area, gain control of an enemy vehicle, or steal credits. These cards are outlined with colored borders to indicate how they should be played: green for play on yourself, blue for neutral, and red for play on the enemy. Exploiting these cards at the right time often will have devastating effects on your enemy. The enemy has their own cards that can be played on you, too, so be careful.
The game's missions are challenging, and maps are usually large enough to explore different routes. The 7th Legion's missions tend to be more strategic, expanding beyond merely amassing an army and steamrolling across the map. In one mission, you only have one guy with a bomb, and you have to blow up a base with it before you are granted reinforcements. There are a few others where you don't even have a base, and have to make do with small squads and limited resources.
There are also infantry based missions indoors. In these scenarios, three soldiers enter a facility to either get to a certain point on the map or kill everyone inside. Each member of the squad can be equipped with three weapon types, the default laser gun, grenade launcher, or a sniper rifle. Frankly though, the sniper rifle is vastly superior, and it's the only weapon I use. The game for either faction will last a handful of hours to complete.
Although the game is a lot of fun, there are a number of caveats. It's far from perfect. Pathing in large groups is an exercise in frustration. Units will get stuck behind trees, on different elevations, or will ignore orders altogether. They do this thing I call the "F You" response. Say for example you want to attack a vehicle bay. Instead of doing that, sometimes tank turrets or AC chassis will spin 180 degrees and just sit there. Or just as bad, units sometimes won't recognize move and attack orders that are placed very near to the unit.
The enemy AI is about as intelligent as a pile of rocks. My favorite tactic is to wall off paths to my base,then build power plants or barracks until I can literally build well behind enemy lines. They never destroy the walls and only attack buildings that are invading their space once in a while. However, never is the AI's stupidity more evident than when playing a particular card, "Armageddon". It wipes out the whole map of friendlies and enemy alike, destroys every building, and critically damages both bases. No matter how intricately the mission map was planned out, the AI won't even repair the base. They build one or two power plants, barracks, basic infantry, and that's it. Left to its own devices, the AI is worthless.
This game was developed in a time where balance wasn't a huge factor, and patches were difficult to distribute. It is possible to upgrade infantry to the degree of being near-godlike. With top armor upgrades, some infantry can survive being crushed by tank treads quite handily. Sure, you can upgrade vehicle and AC armor and weapons, but upgrading infantry is much more economical and effective.
If you are willing to forgive the game's shortcomings, there's a lot to enjoy here. Some of the cut-scenes are pretty cool, and the title theme is still an awesome jam. The card system and how the economy works are both unique features that I haven't seen reproduced in any RTS since. For the price, give it a try. You only have a few bucks and an afternoon to lose.
Ah yes, good old 7th legion.
But jokes aside. This is 7th legion. An old epic megagames rts which holds up because of 2 things - technotrash soundtrack , which is kinda awesome (at least half of it), and because there is ability to play 'cards' from hand right on the battlefield applying buffs, debuffs, dealing direct damage and/or summoning reinforcements, like you playing some sort of ccg. That and the fact that you don't mine resources - you kill enemy, more enemies you kill - more resources you get based on timer+there are random missions right on the battlefield like 'kill 4 enemy turrets, reward 40k cr'.
It appears that game were patched, units does not stuck as much as in original version and it crashed only once before launching on win 7 64-bit. However. Rest of the bugs is still here and demands patching - main menu videos timing is still fucked, Pathfinding although partially better, still makes units stuck. That and lack of hi-res support, which is, especially with large onscreen unit size, is 'buolz' for the lack of better word.
