CrossFire: Legion is a real-time strategy game set in a science fiction universe, created for the popular FPS series called CrossFire. The game is the result of cooperation between Smilegate and Blackbird Interactive studio, whose portfolio includes the warmly welcomed Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. It was released by Prime Matter.

Mechanics

In CrossFire: Legion the action was shown from the top-down view. The gameplay is focused on building bases, constructing fortifications and production buildings as well as on fielding large armies and fighting dynamic battles. We send tanks, mechs and fighters to the battle, as well as soldiers equipped with futuristic weapons and gadgets such as jetpacks. During the battles we have to not only skillfully use the capabilities of individual units, but also make good use of special combat abilities that the authors give us at our disposal.

"Crossfire: Legion is currently in a very early stage of “Early Access” and a lot of development is required to bring the game to a state where it is actually enjoyable."

Wolf's Gaming Blog: 2.5 / 5 by Baden Ronie

Crossfire: Legion is best described as a purely adequate RTS, which is why I’ve struggled to review it. Games like this are the hardest to talk about because there’s nothing that is worth dissecting or getting excited about. The gameplay is fine, the campaign is passable but dull and the online is already struggling to hold a healthy player base. Even though we have been starved of RTS titles recently, the only reason to buy Crossfire: Legion is if you’ve already played everything else and you really need to scratch that real-time strategy itch.

ZTGD: 4 / 10 by Terrence Johnson

Crossfire: Legion does a great job of evoking great memories playing better games in the RTS genre. It does very little if anything to innovate and leans heavily on the tracks that many other games have laid before it. But what hurts it most of all is the fact that there is NO A.I. matchmaking, which means that if players want to play the game, they must use the multiplayer option which seems to be on its way to being abandoned at this point. So that leaves players to repeat a lackluster campaign filled with generic characters (whom they utilized some top tier talent such as Ashly Burch who is wasted here) and cliché plots. Crossfire: X was my first introduction to the world of Crossfire and as you can read in my review it was a terrible first impression. And now with Legion being the mess that it is I think I may not give Crossfire a third chance to disappoint me.
