The Dark Legions sets players on an epic quest of good against evil, as they command their hero and amass their army towards the ultimate battle. And pressing the Esc button will immediately exit the game without any prompting. The lack of a save feature makes things even worse. Expect plenty of crashes during the game. While Strategy 3 is almost a flawless masterpiece (in freeware standards of course), the game is very buggy. There is a lack of music which I think could improve the game's atmosphere especially for an RTS like this. You can also see the progress of the buildings being worked on. The details in this game are also commendable.
I found the graphics to be good, clean and easy on the eyes, but some will comment that they are a little too dull and shabby. The author has actually bothered to make this game 3D! It all depends on personal taste.
While Strategy 3 won't score points for originality, the 'Warcrafish' gameplay already makes up for it. Even the loading screen looks like the one in Warcraft2.
Especially where Warcraft 3 is concerned, most of its concepts have been used here. Fans of these games will find the controls of Strategy 3 to be very familiar. Gameplay is very similar to Warcraft 3 and AoE. But what the heck, ain't Warcraft 3 and Age of Empires the best of their kind? Expect Strategy 3 to be a masterpiece, a champion in the freeware scene. Strategy 3: The Dark Legions is a real-time strategy game that plays just like Warcraft3 and Age of Empires, maybe a little too similar.
