You can find many treasures, potions, spells and magic items. The game features many different ruins, dungeons and castles that you can explore. Because you can have any - yes any - in your party as long as you can convince them to join your party. But in this game you don't have to create characters until you can't have anymore in your party. You can choose between many different races, classes, skills and much more. Even for 1990 the graphics are weak - might be a sacrifice to the complex game-engine.Īnother great roleplay game. ![]() Like in so many cases Legend of Faerghail is not suited for those who are looking for eye-candy. Anyway - if you like to sink into a well outlined fantasy world with a good story and some nice ideas that were only commonly implemented into RPGs years later (which also explains why not everything works that perfect yet) you can really have some fun with this game. The gameplay very much reminds of the Bard's Tale series and you can also import characters from the first two parts, you can also import characters from Phantasie I and III, but I have to be honest and say I don't REALLY see the logic in that, I might miss a point there, but there seems to be a missing link somewhere. ![]() The story itself evolves around an uprising of elves in Thynn and a party of six adventurers (guess who.) being sent to investigate the matter. The game also is very big and - another new thing - it runs in realtime (which requires a slowdown-app on newer computers - I have attached one along with a setting that worked for me). With 6 magical classes, about 300 spells and the possibility of your weapons breaking in battle requiring a smith to keep them in top-shape (which was totally new at this time) you have to have a close eye on character-development. Legend of Faerghail was one of the most complex RPGs of the old days. The game is very complex and therefore intended for an experienced player only. The game is played across 8 large dungeons with over 1000 rooms each, with 80 different foes in total. You can create a party of six members and then try to stop a crusade of slaughter of the elvish race, that has been corrupted by an unspeakable evil. Send your troops, recruit an army, use spells, etc.Legend of Faerghail is role-playing game with an interface similar to that of the Bard´s Tale Series or Dragon Wars, although it is a little more complex. You can choose your side from good or bad, and male or female. Overall, it's this attention to detail and sheer playability that make Legend an unmissable game.Ī simple table styled strategy game with pure graphics, which takes place in middle ages. The characters move pretty quickly considering the amount of detail on screen and the puzzles are just complex enough to get you seriously thinking. The dungeons are viewed from a traditional isometric-3D viewpoint and are rich in detailed graphics. If the Runemaster fires off a missile damage spell, it spectacularly explodes on its target. But, the most impressive thing is that you actually get to see the spell in action unlike Legend's nearest competitor. It's set up so that you can experiment with various combinations to see whether you can find a hidden spell. The spell system is pretty complicated and involves mixing various runes and elements to form a spell. It's this last character that lifts Legend above the level of just another RPG to the mighty heights of super stardom. Apart from the usual load of fighting skills, each character has a special ability, for instance the Assassin can turn invisible and, best of all, the Runemaster can cast spells. ![]() Your band of adventurers is comprised of a Berserker, a Troubadour, an Assassin, and a Runemaster. ![]() This is achieved in two ways, first by ensuring that the various towns on the main map are well defended and, second, by entering the cellars and dungeons underneath the towns to kick monster butt and collect as much gold as possible. You take control of a band of four hearty adventurers in a quest to rid Trazere from evil's minions. Things aren't going too well at the moment - chaos walks the land and it's pretty ticked off! Who can save the Kingdom from the hordes of darkness? You guessed it, it's you.
