Some parts are good, like the fighting system and other parts, like the art style are rather bad. The level design is bland and the art style strange at best. Why do the natives look exactly like the colonists? Why does everyone remark that the main character looks strikingly like a native when everyone does? Why do you have to mix modern tatoos, with victorian colthing and outlandish native cloths? Why do the faces of the people alltogether look look like they are all undead?
The story is weird. People talk in circles and tend to be, just like the art, rather bland. You do not feel involved at all while playing or making desicions in dialogs. Often you would like to answer a certain way, but you are not even allowed a choice.
In the story the natives are "good" and the colonists are "bad". And yes its about that bland and shallow through out the game.
The companions do not even try to behave like people but rather want to be silly modern stereotypes (weak male, strong female).
The whole game has a "I am not made for PCs" feel about it. You can climb walls only if you have the necessary skill but you can not jump. There are a bunch of invisible walls and animals only turn up for a short time till they vanish in thin air.
My final verdict: This game could be good, if a lot changed and if it would get a more believable story and characters.

Well even though the clear connection of the game with the Hastur mythos of the Chambers fantasy is obvious the game does not directly show anything clear enough.
All together this is a great story driven game with a sublime horror aspect that I had great fun in exploring. As with all of these point & click adventures, the big question is "what are the puzzles like". Well from my experience the puzzles are not that difficult or weird. You should be able to solve most of them without getting your brain into knots or using a walkthrough. They indeed help the story rather than frustrate the player.

Well as the title states, this game is the old master of magic in 3D. All the good things of original can be found here. So if you liked Master of Magic, you will like this game too.

The only "problem" with this new version is the only thing they have changed form its predessor - the 3D graphics. They are nicely done and pretty colorful but tragically this really, to a degree at least, takes away the easy overview you had in the old Master of Magic. It is now way more difficult not to overlook a crucial mapicon.

Really this game has it all:

- Civilization-like settling and city building.
- Tactical combat.
- Research that actually is vital to your civilization.
- Army equipment editor.
- Diplomacy (even though that feature is maybe the weakest point in this game)
- Quests
- Extremely different playing factions.
- Science-Fantasy setting that gets a lot of its lore from the world of Endless Space.

Together Endless Legend is one of those games that anyone who has interest in roundbased strategy should buy and play.
