60 of 179 · most liked firstFallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes is a turn-based strategy game set in a fantasy world full of magic and mythical creatures. The game features a single player campaign as well as multiplayer modes. In the game, players must build their kingdom, recruit heroes, gather resources, and lead their armies to defeat rival factions and monsters. One of the standout features of the game is the character customization. Players have the ability to create and customize their own heroes by changing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The gameplay itself is fun - shame it's unstable as hell, crashes often, and is full of game-breaking bugs that cause the game to lock up. To make matters worse, whenever this game encounters a fatal error (which is every 10 hours or so), it causes almost all of the other applications running on my computer to crash as well - which is super annoying if you're the kind of gamer who likes to listen to streams or podcasts in the background while you game. Honestly it's shocking that the base…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Age of Wonders 4 has me feeling nostalgic for this game (and it's previous iterations) despite it's flaws. Hard to believe it's been 10 years.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crashes frequently from the mid-game on. Other than that and the lack of mods, I like it a lot. Sadly I don't think it is ever getting fixed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY! GAME IS BROKEN! I really wish I could recommend this game. It is a lot of fun. It scratches an itch for a fantasy version of Civilization. The issue is that it is plagued with game-ending bugs. It'll crash during game-play. And even worse is it will crash if you try loading a save. Devs obviously don't update this game anymore, understandably with it being over 10 years old. Still, I wish they'd patch it. It would honestly be in my top 10 if it worked.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely love this game, but unfortunately ever since like 5 years ago the game began to crash constantly and is nearly unplayable nowadays
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simply the greatest 4x game ever made. Anything that "betters" this will upgrade it only in terms of technological capabilities. No 4x before or since Fallen Enchantress has ever been so ambitious, and done so well. AOW4 is the closest we've got, but everything AOW4 has, FE already had, and then some. Highly underrated, underappreciated, and misunderstood.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ten years after its release, FE:LH remains my favorite fantasy 4x by far. Yes, the game does have its flaws, including several bugs (partially related to its increasing age), not to mention a too-passive AI at times. However, no other game I've played has quite the same blend of civilization-building, RPG elements, customizable units, magic, lore, fun combat system, and atmosphere/immersion as this one. Oh, and you can also create your own custom rulers and factions, by the way -- a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A worthy Master of Magic successor with powerful troop customization. I've read accounts of this game's troubled past - apparently the first versions were an unplayable mess. Thankfully, this version (which is technically Elemental: War of Magic: Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes) has taken careful notes and worked to make a game which brings back memories of original Master of Magic. Starting from just a single city, grow your empire in a harsh and hostile world against other…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, for everyone who have lags and crashes. First thing, delete or rename SDNXLFonts.dll in the main directory of the game, it's antialising fonts and breaks a lot, most of crashes are related to it. I also play on linux, I use Proton Experimental, and seen many people advice to use older proton, like 3 or 8 versions. And put PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% in the launch options, for me works even without it, but adviceable. So far I play on 2k display with best graphics and have no issues or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →decent game, reminds me of Age of wonders series, it has some charm but constant crashes ruin it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ah... this game... I haven't played it for awhile, but I got bored looking for my next game to play, and decided to write a review. I consider FE:LH to be a sort of rough-cut gem. If you take the format/formula of the game itself, it's one of my favorite all-time. It's essentially a fantasy 4x + RPG, in some ways similar to Age of Wonders: you found cities to expand your empire, recruit heroes to lead your armies and take on quests, and go for one of several types of victories. Things I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game keeps crashing when you load your saved game. It's unplayable in this state.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is good But the crashing especially after many hours played its like the issues mount up and it leads to more and more crashing and error messages other things that bother me you could be working out what to build in your town you click one thing it then takes you to research then to level up then combat this i don,t like let me finish the build list then go to the next thing let me confirm im done - to add on this in options you can stop it autoing the turns that helps with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a really fun solo game for a while, but several patches later and it will crash far too often.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A decent entry in the "MoMlike" genre - that is, games which are descendants of Master of Magic. It has a stronger focus on the RPG elements then most, and a little bit of Heroes of Might and Magic mixed in, for flavor. However I do find that it plays a little slowly compared to some of its contemporaries, which is saying something as MoM was already damnably slow especially in its early turns. I personally prefer something with a little more "oomph" like Age of Wonders or Warlock over this,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game crashes frequently.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was great in 2013 when i bought it, now in 2025 its only $`12 AUD so get it its butt ugly, but playable strategy 4x fantasy game 6/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game for the time I've been able to spend actually playing it, but it it has become literally unplayable because it crashes every time I try to load a save game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am a 45 yo father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game. I am a single father to my Son, who is 14 now. My son got this game from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube. So I decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can see why this game is liked by plenty of people. There are powerful and quite diverse spells there, ability to equip your character and heroes with a lot of stuff, level them in different ways. Exploration is interesting enough and so on. But the UI and controls are awful. Spell descriptions are sometimes misleading. The game crashes periodically. A lot of stuff depends on RNG in a bad way. I really wanted to understand this game and to enjoy it. And it is possible that back in the day…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why can I write a review for a game I dont own and never did?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To me it is like a modern Heroes of might and magic just love the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gosh ppl! The game is simple and great! I love the possibiltiy of given ur troops the stuff u like. Its very balanced. Its mini Civ with fantasy. And even after 300hrs i still like to play it on hardest mode!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short and sweet: this is an oldie but goodie, and I really appreciate the diversity, city building, and flexibility to play the way I want to. There's something here for anyone that's a fan of 4x and/or turn based strategy games: with a HEAVY draw you in for "just one more turn" mentality. It's a very unique approach. The artwork is holding up surprisingly well for 2024. This truly is a gem. Get it and enjoy something unique, yet delightfully familiar! What a treat! CHEERS!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sid Meier's Civilization with magic, monsters, champions, quests and plenty of mayham for your main character to battle. Unlike Civilization beside battling with other fractions your main character builds a personal army which includes chooseable champions, incorporated monsters, and customizeable city derived warriors to clear your land by fighting monsters. This game is far more layered and complex than Civilization but all the same strategies apply. If you enjoy Civilization or games like…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →still buggy with items disappearing from inventory and weapons being unequiped
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes scratches a very specific itch — it's the fantasy 4X/RPG hybrid I didn't know I needed, blending the empire-building of Civilization with the hero progression and tactical battles of Heroes of Might and Magic. The unit customization system alone is worth the price of admission; being able to kit out squads with specific weapons, armor, and abilities from your research tree makes every campaign feel distinct. The early-to-mid game exploration is genuinely…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an incredibly underrated game. It's a Civilization style game with Heroes but the resource management is the MOST INTERESTING thing I've ever seen. In Civilization access to horses gives you infinite horses, in this you gain a horse resource that builds up to be used for cavalry units. This is extra important for heavy armor.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →On paper Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes has a lot of promise: it's Civilization style 4x (resources and diplomacy) together with Heroes of Might and Magic's RPG style heroes with levels, spells and equipments and army based tactical battles. But in all these areas FE:LH fails to meet the these games' standards. The diplomacy options are very lacking, and the untis and battles are fairly janky. There is a unit editor which is a nice touch, but other than that the game is definitely dated,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is almost fun. I enjoyed the game play but the UI is just too annoying to deal with. Half the time I can't tell what I'm doing? In the "build" screen there are 2 buttons "build" and "done", both buttons begin building whatever is selected. There is no exit button, you must hit escape to exit. In combat, there is no real explanation? What is Stamina? How do you acquire Stamina to use skills? I don't want to play a game where I need a wiki page up on a second computer, just to play. Add…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Random game I loved but never heard much about: Fallen Enchantress: Fallen Heroes
unlabelledView post →i have a serious question; please this is not a troll. do people actually like this? is there a human being out there anywhere in time who has actually without lying enjoyed this game? i don't mean someone who opened it for twenty minutes and thought to themselves it looked charming and good, but then never thought of it again. does this game have an actual fan? i have wasted hours on bad games before, but this one honestly really feels like a true thief of time, and not a dashing rogue, but…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought it when it first came out and still get the itch to play it every now and then. Not for everyone though. Old schoolers yes, younger gens not so much. Was disappointed when the creators abandoned this genre for a sci fi version.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Solid war game with mods that you can multi-player with and doesn't require 10 updates per year, wrecking all your saves.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I need to play more but first impression is it's Civilization on steroids. The are "quests" and a welcome tutorial. A lot of civ's mechanics are at work but they've added "monsters." I really hope the monsters didn't kill all the roaming barbarians but I suspect they did. If this game is available for cheap, and you like strategy, get it. It has a tutorial which mostly helps and is how I know it's a Civ successor.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →8/10 - My first 4X strategy game and great introduction to the genre. For a genre that generally seems intimidating Fallen Enchantress does a great job at teaching the player how to doggy paddle so to speak. Art feel a little outdated (because it is), soundtrack is pleasant but nothing to write home about, where FE shines is in it versatility, faction creation and simplistic game play. Would highly recommend as a introductory to the genre.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoy this game. Its similar to Age of Wonders a little but its actually way more user friendly with a variety of fun details. Each Faction brings different things to the table and makes things quite enjoyable(Like Age of Wonders). It IS turn-based as well, which is my favorite aspect. I am very much a turn based player and would definitely recommend this. The graphics are very nice. There are many different factions giving lots of replay-ability. It also has the option to make your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastically unique and INTERESTING RPG-slash-turn-based-strategy game! I've never played something like this, a game that mixes Civilization style town and army building with an RPG "scenario" that acts like a turn-based party-based CRPG, it's really something. Features plenty of RPG options and development mechanics, a fascinating and DEEP lore (in the Elemental world) and fun combat and civilization "overseeing" to tie it all together. Really interesting stuff imo, hope to play more RPGs…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This isn't a perfect or great game - but it is a good game and very enjoyable, especially as a solo-only player. Some Civ-type element blended with lite role playing and turn-based combat. Finding a solid starting location for your first city - with plenty of surrounding area and resources to expand into - is key. The diplomacy portion of the game is a little weak, but if you focus on signing treaties and regularly trading, you'll boost how the other "players" feel about you. The game goes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoy the original Fallen Enchantress although it has some slight bugginess (notable highlighting and water disappear sometimes on reloading). This version, however, is hot trash. The game worked just long enough for me to play it once for a couple hours... and now crashes completely 80% on start up or load. So basically, it lasted just long enough to not allow refunds. I've spent a few hours trying figure out the reason... but at this point the game is just more work than play. If…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just didn't like it. Way too hard, even with everything set to easy. Seemed to hide information from me. Just wasn't very fun. One thumb down. Might have been good in it's day, not anymore.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →some good ideas but many bugs are plaguing it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the BEST turn based strategy games I own, barely topped by other ultra classics like Age Of Magic 3. Only DLC that you should buy on sale is the MAP PACK for a couple bux. Everything else you need can be provided by the WORKSHOP pretty much, and that means LOADS of extra content! Of course you always have the option to get ALL the DLC if you wish, and this can also be a good thing for anyone who is into it. Just all around SUPERBLY well programmed, THE UI IS GOLD, and so is just…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its just addictive if you like collecting stuff and empire building and endlessly replayable
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bad game is bad. Age of Wonders, the Spellforce 4x, HoMM, Gladius, whatever: you can do better than this. You deserve better than this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes is a deep and richly detailed turn-based strategy game that builds on the foundation laid by its predecessor, Fallen Enchantress, while adding new layers of complexity, customization, and narrative depth. Developed by Stardock and published in 2015, this title combines 4X empire-building elements with RPG-style hero management and tactical combat, creating an experience that appeals both to fans of grand strategy and fantasy role-playing games. The result is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing gameplay, tons of fun and challenging on any difficulty, turn based building and movement for your armies. overall amazing game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a good game. It plays like Civilization crossed with D&D. The tactical battles could be better and the game could have used a bit more polish. Note, if the savegame can no longer be loaded and the game crashes: Start a new game and then load the game in question - this solved the problem. Overall: Good! 08/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly one of my favorite strategy games ever.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun game no matter your civ-like play style Lots to customize or leave as-is, wiggle room for making your own stories, and tons of strategy-adventure fun! Wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who likes turn based strategy civilization building! Especially if you have a love for fantasy settings
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game, while not as good as other (and more recent) 4x games out there, is a worthy endeavor in the genre. Several years back, I put 30 hours into it and couldn't really get into it. I dropped it after a game or two with the pledge to come back someday. It remained installed but unplayed on my PC for years until a few weeks ago when I went to clean up my library and decided to give it another crack before uninstalling for good. I proceeded to sink another 100 hours of fun into it. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just check number or hours I spent on it (and that is not total :)).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well known memory leak in all 3 games, all 3 games you ask? first they made a game that was a disaster, and renamed/relabled it and sold as a new game. It was also a disaster, so what did they do? - they renamed/relabled it again, and sold again as a 'new game' . So... what about this 3rd version of the game? - less buggy then disaster 1 and 2, and when it works, and if you restart every 5-10 turns, to 'fix' the memory leak that's been in all 3 games, and ignore all the issues that the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Brilliant 4x game, still fun to play years later. Shame about the memory capability of the engine, would love to this a remaster. If you have this game download the xtra-deconstruct mod which adds plenty.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Came back to this gem after a couple years, and don't know why I stopped for so long! It's a great 4x even for the date of this post.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This has been a fantastic experience thus far. The combat is fantastic. The equipment isn't overwhelming. The spells make sense. Maybe I lucked out as I've only beaten it once, but... I didn't ever feel a massive drag hit around midgame like many 4x games experience. I also found my initial strategy easy to pivot off of when it wasn't working. Great game. Took me 10 years to come across it. If you've been considering it, pay the $30, and enjoy. Saw somebody asking about game crashes. In a 12…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played for more than 1000 hours total and was entertained the whole time. There are some rare glitches, but I have found everything is fixed by restoring from an auto-save.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game! It's development had a troubled history, but this game (Legendary Heroes) is a great blend of tactical battles (somewhat similar to Banner Saga) and strategic empire building (similar to my personal favorite, civilization franchise). I recommend this game to players who want to develop specific characters with special abilities but not *be* the character itself. You rule the empire, and your sovereign is just one mighty hero among them.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →back in the day this was ok but as other say its not support so just like other old games they will most likely crash on window 10 and 11 try to evade this game its a civil like game pro magic civil gives more option on how it runs ie jump to each movable unit or not lets you just spam turn next can abuse the save fuction which you need to do anyway so less of a pro do to heavy really on rng cons do to the jumping to movable unit is so laggy you can select other group before it jump which…
