Those people will already know if they’ll love playing what is essentially the same game again in a new medieval fantasy setting or if they’ll just stick with firing up some retroware and enjoy the originals. Of course, if you’ve played either of those games (or the handful of other truly classic RTS games) then there isn’t much more I need to say about the game. This is a good thing those games were classics for a reason. Legends is in fact not so much cast from a similar mould as those much loved games like Red Alert and Dune II as it is more like the exact original game with a new lick of paint. This is exactly how Stronghold Legends feels – comforting and familiar, like meeting an old friend you’d forgotten being madly in love with so many years ago. It’s oh-so comforting when I get a new strategy game and can slip into what I affectionately dub my ‘Dictator Mode’ and begin to send wave after wave of men to death without even having to reach for the manual. Among them are the first sip of a good whisky at the end of a stressful day, the grumbly murmurings of Dylan Moran as he tames his crazy hair, a cryptic crossword and, yes, the feel of a ‘classic’ RTS game which holds the same design and layout as many of its genre from the last decade. There are certain things in life that a man like me shall always appreciate.
