Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood

legendary gamesky

commandos but with robin hood chars. overal a fun game

This game is the first game I ever had in my hands .I still remember when my father bought it for me because i loved the legend of Robin hood and it came free on a gaming magazine . I used the CD installed it on my windows VISTA (yea hard times ) and that's when it all started for me .Even my sisters ,who never played computer games loved it! We must have completed the game at least 40 times and when we found out that It was available on steam we bought it again. This game is amazing the story the game-play all of it BUT !!

It does not run properly on windows after windows vista . For the game to run properly you must download robin hood performance fix file And you ll be good to go !

it's super laggy. I don't have a super good computer but it runs most games pretty well, but when I try to run this game the lag just ruins the game for me. I didn't even get to 5 mins into the game play and was like nah I ain't doin this

timeless masterpiece

Oh, did the update today (09/04/2025) fix the font lag?

Wish they Remastered the game with HD packs... :( Miss old days...

i have Windows 11 and game is not working..please how to fix that game bug ??

does not work on modern PC's

Robin Hood is one of the best games I played in my childhood. It combines clever missions, interesting character abilities, and a hint of resource management into an absorbing game that fans of strategy will be playing for quite some time. Robin Hood is an enjoyable squad-based game that will always hold a special place in my heart. If you enjoy games like "Commandos" and "Desperados" then you'll definitely like this one as well. You'll face some issues while playing it because it's an old game but there are patches and ways to fix the resolution and make the game look graphically better and less laggy to make it playable.

The game is very slow for me. At first, I thought that the problem was with my device, but it has a powerful processor. I hope you find a solution to this problem.

The game is simply unplayable. I understand it was created decades ago but it is still something someone takes money for. So running it on any modern Windows to realize it works 1 FPS is not too difficult. I know that on paper there are some magic solutions on the web but if you want to buy a game and play it than you should choose something else

Legend.

Really fun game. Its not an action game, more tactics. Unfortunatly, it doesn't play unless you install this performance fix:

Loved this game in my childhood, unfortunately it didn't age too well. It's already a pain to just get the game to start on modern hardware. When you manage to get it to run, it most likely won't run properly. The controls are as clunky as you can imagine from a stealth game/action game from 2002 but you can get back into it and make it somewhat work. Unfortunately it is also very easy to exploit and not that much of a challenge anymore.

The gameplay definitely didn't age well but you still realise how much love was put into this game as a whole - they were very innovative with some of the mechanics ingame. It deserves a remake, even though I believe remakes for the most part don't manage to bring back the charm those games had back in the days.

I cannot recommend the steam version when it is barely working, especially on full price. I'd recommend the GOG version of the game though. Whenever it works it's pretty nostalgic and a great game for the time it came out. (7/10)

Works perfectly on linux-steam, proton enabled from steam compatibility. At least v3.7-8.
Several another versions did not launch or mouse lag.

Another similar games to recommend:
Shadow tactics: blades of the shogun
Commandos 1,2,3 etc.
Desperados 1,2....

Sadly I run laggy and with very low fps maybe 5 fps on my laptop Win 11 RTX3050

Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood brings nostalgic memories with its fun tactical gameplay, memorable characters, and engaging strategy missions.

stil doesnt run properly on windows 10 or 11 , the gog version works

Unplayably slow!!! The lag is so crazy that making it through the first stage is tedious enough, and that's controlling only one character. It's such a shame because I used to love playing this game as a kid and really wanted to replay it, but it seems like it doesn't run at a passable speed or even close on steam. I'm going to keep trying to find patches and such to see if I can speed it up, but if you're playing it as it comes from the steam store, don't expect an enjoyable experience. Really a shame it doesn't run more smoothly because it's an excellent game when it does!

Aaah yes! The game where you perfectly plan everything and end up knocking out half of the town.

classic, just an amazing fun little game

Doesn't work.

Good memories.

Doesn't work on Windows 11

One of my favorite games

Maybe the idea of this game might be interesting.
However, the clumsy controls just ruin any gemeplay experience. The game heavily relies on "point and click" - and the "pointing" just is the problem.
There is a patch which transports the game to current systems (both hardware and software), but of course the game still looks ugly, and again: With that awful controls, I don't play it.

This release requires a fix for WinX to run at "normal" FPS. Which is better than without it. The problem is that the "normal" FPS for this game made for 15" CRT screens is 20.

It is a commandos-style real time tactics game, so most of the gameplay is just one giant .bmp picture with tiny soldiers running on it. But moving the camera with that framerate is still crappy.

If you can survive that, this is one of the best games ever made. The aforementioned .bmps are absolutely beautiful, the best at the time of the release. And then there's a storyline and a theme to this game. The missions are fun the gameplay is awesome. And then there's the additional layer of a camp where recruits produce goods for your heroes and also you can take them on missions. The game strongly encourages harder non-lethal runs to get more recruits.

At the time of the release it was one of the best games ever made. But today it all depends on how long you can tolerate the pre-millennium tradition of the 20 FPS lock with the game logic tied to the framerate.

This game is great but DO NOT BUY IT ON STEAM the stem edition is horrible and will not work. The screenshots they use on the title are not even from this actual game but one called desperados. Buy it somewhere else they butchered it for steam
