Loved the series but what a disappointing end. The last map does not load. Repeatable bug that you can't load the last level. Ugh. Can't give a thumbs up to something that just doesn't work.
Previous iterations were much more balanced. This one is extremely hard. In scenario 2, I was ignoring any extra quests and just rushing main objective on Easy setting. I got to it 1 turn later than gold victory. Maps are extremely full with enemy units which take time to fight.
So yea, unless you play all wargames on hard or megahard, avoid this game. Previous games from this series were much more fun and balanced.
The third and last add-on to Elven Legacy. The lack of voiceover is still painful, but at least there was some creativity with the new rune mage dwarf character. To unlock the bonus missions, you must choose your steps carefully sometimes, but it's worth the price, all four extra quests are very good now. Alas, the difficulty was very mixed this time, because this is the last expansion, and yet, some quests are just too easy to complete. Overall, it was great to play with the heroes one last time, and I could imagine a new game with them as well. The world is nice, the possibility is in it, just needs an acceptable budget.
Rating: mediocre (5/10)
Introduction
Elven Legacy: Magic is a story-driven strategy RPG where by leading a small army of human with heroes in turn-based combat you have to fulfill smaller missions to save the kingdom from the undead, exiled elves, heretics and some other dangers.
Gameplay & Story: 5/10
Since you get thrown into combat from the very first mission of the campaign, you get to know that the gameplay consists purely of fighting on a small scaled map, upgrading and recruiting your troops between the missions and spending some time listening to dialogs or watching cut scenes. The gameplay does not differ at all from the main game Elven Legacy. The story is written slightly better than the main game, however is still as simple you are being the good guy chasing some bad guys.
Combat & Challenge : 6/10
The combat does have some aspects of tactical troop management and each unit does have some upgrades, where you can specialise it in a certain way. The units including melee, ranged, air troops and heroes fulfill different roles and you have to be aware of their strengths and counters on higher difficulties. Hard was actually hard even to me since the mission had a time limit and at a certain point you had to charge heads on into the enemy troops, so the preset had to be perfect not to lose too many units.
Graphic & Interface : 3/10
The design of this game is not only old, but also quite cheap looking to be honest. Only the heroes (especially your main one) has some fancy looking gear and the UI is your basic old looking tons of buttons one. The maps do not have many details either, the special spots containing artefacts are barely distinguishable and only later in the game the units receive some better looking equipment.
Progress & Mini-Games : 5/10
The progress is determined by the difficulty you pick before starting a mission, since hard takes much longer to finish. There are no mini games so the only progress is finishing the current mission, determing the difficulty of the next, picking your troops and jumping into the next one.
Audio & Immersion : 5/10
To be honest I cannot say much about the music, since I turned it off after the first mission and played with my own. The sounds used for the troops, fighting and voice overs are mediocre and get their job done. However, do not expect any serious immersion in this game since the combination of bad graphic, non-immersive audio and typical storyline will not really let you dive any deep into this game.
Side-Notes
- This game offers a single player campaign of about 8 hours.
- This game contains no steam achievements and no trading cards.
[*]This game offers minimal replayibility, since it is story heavy.
Summary
Elven Legacy: Magic is an oldschool tactical turn-based RPG and strategy hybrid, that offers a story of elven warriors traveling through the world fighting humans, dwarves and orcs while chasing some anti-heroes. Some missions will offer a tactical challenge at higher difficulties, however neither the battles nor the story feel any strong in this game. The immersion just did not happen with the game of this quality, so I can only recommend it to fans of tactical turn-based combat and fans of oldschool strategic RPGs.
If you enjoyed the main game, you should also get the Magic addon, besides you can save your money.
I hope this review helps you making the decision if its worth buying and installing this game. Rate and leave a comment if you enjoyed reading it.

This is the best of the expansions and my favourite among elven legacy and fantasy war games. The campaign revolves around small parties with powerful mages with new spells and mechanics introduced to the elven legacy we know. I did enjoy the dwarven scenario the most. I wished all the expansion had this quality. Well
The last expansion, who knows that's new, it still crashes if you minimize the damn game...
1/10
