Nice expansion to Elven Legacy.
Elven Legacy: Siege is the second expansion for the base game which, in turn, is the sequel to Fantasy Wars.
The game is now old and targets at very specific gamers: the ones that love turn-based hexagonal strategy (in the spirit of the old Panzer Generals) with RPG elements as you level up regular troops and heroes and obtain artifacts.
Pros:
+ If you loved the previous games you will also love this. A lot of strategy, many possibilities to follow in each map. A lot of units to choose, almost all with advantages and disadvantages.
+ Lengthy campaign which is split into two small campaigns following different quests and story.
+ There is an strong RPG elements and having all units surviving and leveling-up is key to win.
+ Good variety in maps and missions as well as different enemeis (orcs, dwarfs and elves)
+ As in all related turn-based games it is very addictive especially with challenged to get the gold medal, achieve all side missions or find all artifacts.
Cons:
- The game is quite hardcore. The difficult, especially in the very first missions, is very high. Later it gets easier as your core army becomes stronger. For the first time in the series in the bonus mission where you play with dwarfs it was impossible to get a gold medal no matter my 4-5 mission restarts.
- Serious bugs in some missions (one is almost unplayable unless you download a fix), including in some instances bad translation.
- Little to no information is given on some mechanics (I still wonder what how the "willpower" mechanism is implemented) and some map and mission objectives.
- Graphics and animation are old and rather poor by today´s standards.
All-in-all this is an old, turn-based strategy game which mainly targets a hard-core group of dedicated gamers. Definitely, not for everyone but at such a price you have nothing to lose to try it. Recommended for all of us, the veterans of the first panzer general games.
The second big DLC to Elven Legacy, and it's probably the hardest one. Oh boy, the earliest quests are simply insane, but the good news is as you go through the missions, it becomes much easier. Personally, I didn't find anything special in the missions, there's lots of siege, and I think that's all. No variety of creative quests, nor a cool hero. Even the bonus missions are bad, and one of them is buggy. Maybe the only cool thing is that it can give you more lore and story which is okay, and you can discover what happened with a previous character, but as I said before, nothing extra. Still cheap if you buy it in a package.
Having played both Elven Legacy the base game and Elven Legacy Ranger I can say without any hesitation that this one's a great game too. Unlike the base game, the difficulty level here has been fixed but it's still harder than the Elven Legacy Ranger especially near the end . If you can then try to save your leveled up troops as many as you can without them it's really going to be super hard later on. I just wished that they had the budget to narrate the story with some voice acting anyway nevertheless it offers solid gameplay and value for it's price. I got it on sale and I am happy that I made the right decision to buy this collection.
I highly recommend it and it's a must have for your collection if you love Role Playing and strategy games.
Note:- It supports 1080p
Rating: mediocre (5/10)
Introduction
Elven Legacy: Siege 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: Siege 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 Siege 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.

The campaign maps in siege are better than the ones in the main game and ranger expansion, but the diffuculty is not even comparable. You dont have any luxury of some units for valuable trades. Every map you are against powerful units and outnumbered in siege situations with rivers around castles and elite-defensive units guarding the quest markers. The maps are really nice, but the difficulty of this expansion is not enjoyable.
The second expansion, who even cares???
2/10
