Legions of Steel

No variety of levels or atmosphere. Potential though. Unfortunately, no updates since Augest. Hopefully this isn't dead. If it was actively developed still I'd say go for it. The tactical view is actually amazing. But looking at how big the campaign is, if this is as much as the game will ever offer, it's not worth it's current price of $20 as of Feb 2016.

LEGIONS OF STEEL is an incredibly well polished graphically gorgeous and game mechanics stunning science fiction strategy war game where your squad of futuristic Commandos are tasked to protect the universe against cybernetic organisms known as The Machines. The sleek sci-fi artstyle and mechanical ambient music merge to create a dark surreal galactic canvas bathed in deep red slaughter. The look of LEGIONS OF STEEL conjures up comic book memories of ALIEN LEGION and games i used to play on the Commodore Amiga 500 which delivered the whole package in a very visceral satisfying potent way. Its a fun kind of tough where even losing feels exhilarating all the while learning from ones mistakes and going back into the fray to attempt to do better. In LEGIONS OF STEEL combat flows with graceful lethal elegance as units move in a battle ballet of death seeking to achieve the most advantageous tactical position to annihilate their foes. Engaging the enemy means knowing when to do certain co...

THE MISSION DESIGN IS RIDICULOUS! I like the game idea. And I am not deep enough into it to say how bad it is. But the tutorial is... astonishing! In some of the first missions, all shots fired, yours and that of the enemy, will hit. (Hit always equal kill). No matter the cover or if your soldier makes a backflip before he shoots with both eyes closed with his right toenail, he will hit. The thing is, the game doesn't tell you that. Try and error baby! This creates not only hillarious moments, where you blow everything the game showed you before into the wind, (positioning, cover, etc.) you even have to do it, and act in complete non sensical ways to complete the missions. Even better, in some of these missions, the AI will go into complete full retard mode, so the player can follow the complete retarded mission objectives. what I mean with this are enemy soldiers who for one mission dont use overwatch (they did before, now they don't because... ? Design ? idk?) or activley try to sh...

Game seems to be fun tactics but for what little I played, it had no character or atmosphere. Units are very generic. If you like flavour in games, you won't like this, be my guess. Admittedly, I lost interest immediately so didn't play long.

Great game, well designed with awesome artwork. I agree with most of what has already been said in other positive reviews, so im not going to repeat it all. If your a fan of sci-fi and or turn based tactical games , this is a must.

Well I will keep this short. I bought it because it reminded my of the Atari ST/Comodore Amiga game called laser squad. Overall I liked the game, there are a number of tactical options and the AI isnt bad. I played through all of the scenarios in a few hours so my only complaint is that it is a bit short. I think it might shine when playing against another player.----Buy it on sale.

66% chance to hit damn point blank target. I belive player side was called 'commandos', not 'housewifes'. Refunded.

A faithful adaptation of an excellent tactical tabletop game!

As someone who loves strategy games in general, and who also enjoys space hulk, i was on the fence about buying what appeared to be a "lesser clone". Well i decided to try this out and you know what? This game is a perfect compliment to your strategy collection. This is really the opposite of space hulk (powerful military might in small number against an endless hoard of lesser intelligence beasts). The concept in this game instead of dissimilar opponents, is much more based on two more equal enemies in terms of intelligence and weaponry. The difference between the games is very much worth your money because this title really has its very own feel and in a very good way. I did encounter a bug where the enemy turn would keep running forever so i had to restart. Apart from that very minor annoyance, the game is absolutely fun and challenging. If you like turn based tactical strategy, this is your ticket for a great ride due to the combination of luck/skill making each game a little diffe...
