The few minor drawbacks can easily be overcome by players of any skill level. In The Dark Legions you must build and command your armies in the fight against the evil King Frank Kalap. This is time consuming and you can't focus on beating the missions while you are using all your slaves to clear the forest for expansion. Also most starting areas are crowded with trees which must be cleared before a substantial town can be built. For new players there is a tutorial mode which will help get you accustomed to the controls and how to play, allowing you to overcome the initial challenges. The difficulty increases as you progress through the game. First, there are no difficulty settings so it might be too easy at the beginning for advanced players or too fast paced for new players. While this is a well made game, there are a few drawbacks. The game also employs all the standard sounds such as chopping wood and mining noises. The “fog of war”, or blackness that covers the areas of the map you have not explored, adds mystery to the game since you will never know whats coming unless you keep troops posted everywhere. The art is very similar to Warcraft or Civilization III. The graphics are not extraordinary for a RTS but they suit the medieval theme nicely. The materials are then used to construct all the various things you will need. Using slaves, who also construct buildings, you will need to harvest gold, stone and wood. Another important aspect of this game is resource gathering. An example would be needing to build a blacksmith before you can build a barracks. A building tree is used so you must build certain buildings to allow the construction of more advanced buildings. You construct various buildings that in turn can be used to train troops, provide defense or necessary upgrades. The Dark Legions is played like normal RTS games.
You start with just the basics and must build your base large enough to take out the enemy before the enemy takes you out. In Instant Action there are no missions other than to eliminate the enemy. The maps are varied and include areas along the coast to allow for ship building. You will be challenged by various missions including recruiting soldiers, eliminating enemy forces and establishing formidable bases to defend your area. In Campaign mode, you follow the story of Theodoric and King Frank Kalap. There are two ways to play The Dark Legions, Campaign and “Instant Action”. The Dark Legions is full of battles and surprises to keep you sucked in.
In this real time strategy (RTS) game you must build up your forces mission by mission to destroy the king and end his reign of terror. Now that you are strong enough it is time to exact your revenge. The year is 1267 and you are Theodoric, the only surviving member of a family slain by King Frank Kalap.
