Elemental: Fallen Enchantress - Legendary Heroes PC

Elemental: Fallen Enchantress – Legendary Heroes for PC is a stand-alone expansion pack to the well-received turn-based strategy game. The original title was released in 2012. The expansion was developed by the creators of the original game, Stardock studios. Derek Paxton, created of the legendary series of mods Fall from Heaven for Sid Meier’s Civilization IV, was the main designer of the expansion pack.

Plot

The expansion features a new singleplayer scenario. The story starts when a hero named Relias returns to warn the kingdoms from a threat that comes from the east.

Mechanics

Elemental: Fallen Enchantress – Legendary Heroes for PC introduces many new gameplay features. The Champion system was reconstructed. Now the player doesn’t need to look for them on the map. Instead, they are glad to join on their own, based on the fame of the player’s empire and its level of development. In addition to that, instead of random-assigned skills, the Champions have their own skill tree. This enables the player to decide how to develop their Champions. Another addition is the possibility to recruit heroes of races other than humans.

The combat system was changed as well. Now groups of enemies attacking single character receive special bonuses. This greatly increases the importance of the number of soldiers in the army and it makes weaker units more useful. Additional faction skills and skills for all types of weapons were introduced. Thanks to that, even a regular spearman now has two special skills. There are new monster types as well. Among them there is a physical-attacks-resistant Banshee and a powerful monster called Garagox. Each hit of the latter can throw away its enemies, making it harder to use the advantage of numbers against him.

Elemental: Fallen Enchantress – Legendary Heroes also introduces many new spells, including fire wall, draining life from enemies with a touch and a spell that can summon up to eight skeletons to the battlefield.

Technical aspects

Many aspects of graphics of the game were improved – including forests, mountains and rivers. Lighting system and animations were also overhauled.
