I was, and still am, an avid player of Rise of Nations. One day, while looking for something to play I found this game using the name Rise of Nations and I thought it was some kind of expansion. No, it actually was a fully developed game with a steampunk esthetic. While I never played multiplayer, I absolutely loved the cheesy campaign and the music. I hope we can bring this and Armies of Exigo to GOG!
I grew up playing this game and it really fueled my love for great story driven video games ! The campaign and the cutscenes were awesome and I hope to play it with friends one day.
I played this game back when I was a teenegar. Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends was made with so much soul; the fantasy, the civilizations, the units design speak of the level of dedication the game received.
It was part of the classical gang of RTS games from Microsoft and overall from the good RTS games, it's a cousin of an excellent game, Rise of Nations, too. Anyways we deserve to buy this game, there are no stores where we can't get digital copies right now.
Please we need to make Rise of Legends come to GOG store.
This game was a big part of my childhood, I remember going back from school and just playing skirmish mode for hours, steampunk aesthetic is sooo good. I still have the original box along with CDs, unfortunately it doesn't work on Windows 11 no matter what I do. Oh I would do anything just to play it again like I did all those years ago. This game sparked my love for RTS games
Loved playing this game when it originally came out, love the mix of Clockpunk and Magic and just found the setting to be really interesting. Would love to see it on running on modern computers.
This game is still a lot of fun! Unique setting blending fantasy, steampunk, and other elements. Similar gameplay loop to Rise of Nations but with more city-based gameplay and three very unique factions. It also runs right out of the box on newer operating systems without any tricks, and it plays well at 4k resolution and high refresh rates. Wish list for a light "extended edition" remaster: modern multiplayer, UI scaling options for 4k, interpolate some choppy animations to make them smoother, hd texture pack, increased shadow mapping resolution.
I absolutely adore this RTS and have played through the lengthy campaign numerous times when I recently rediscovered the game. The unique races, their visuals and their differences in play, is why Rise of Legends is one of my favorites. That, and I can't get the music out of my head. These days, I believe the game has been abandoned but I would, without a doubt, pay for an updated or remastered copy. For starters, it's UI looks tiny in 4K (though the visuals still hold up), and it's animation framerate could use a boost to modern standards. Please bring this classic back to life on GOG!
Giacomo on his combat walker and his clockwork soldiers were fun to use. And eventually getting access to the Cuotl tech made the steampunk vibe sweet. That you were forced to choose between taking your Vinci or Alin forces at the latter part made for good replayability.
