Sometimes a sequel wants to say more than the original ever could. Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes , a new standalone expansion to the Stardock strategy game, puts you at the helm of a fantasy empire in a hostile world filled with flaming corpse monsters and wailing undead banshees.
“Fallen Enchantress gave us a lot of great feedback,” said Derek Paxton, the lead designer of Legendary Heroes in a press release. “With Legendary Heroes we wanted to take that feedback and deliver a deeper, more polished and more welcoming game than what we started with.”
The champion units have seen what looks to be a major change from the original game, in that instead of being encountered randomly throughout the game map, a player earns champions by gaining fame through successful empire building.
Some of the other updates in the expansion include a new leveling system, more factions, and an improved graphics engine. For a complete list of detailed changes to the game, check out a an abbreviated—but still lengthy— changelog assembled by Paxton. It's also worth pointing out that at $39.99, the standalone expansion is $10 more than the original title. Be sure to check out Tom Francis's detailed review of the original Fallen Enchantress.
