Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood

This is game of my childhood! I love it!

Fun graphics, cool story line and great game for all RPG and strategy lovers :) Non linear task managements and eye candy graphics for its time, IMHO.

So I gave this game a tumble after reading all of the good reviews of it, but I must say that I just don't see it. At best, this game is a functional clone of Commandos. What that means is that It is an isometric squad based stealth action game. Unlike Commandos, it isn't incredibly unforgiving and hard. It is still quite difficult, mind you, but if you botch the stealth you can still get by on your sword swinging skills. I'd put that as one of the few positive points for the game. What the game does particularly well is level design. Although you have a linear set of objectives for each level, how you choose to accomplish those objectives is completely up to you. You can stealth your way through, you can pick foes off from a distance, you can get them to fight eachother, or you can run in swords swinging. There are multiple paths to take, and multiple challenges to be met. Going against the game is the appalling user interface. The mouse feels incredibly sluggish, and the entire game is controlled through click commands (there are esoteric keyboard shortcuts if you can figure them out). All in all, controlling this game is a mess and not at all a pleasure, and is the single worst aspect of this game. The graphics hold up poorly, being from that era where everybody thought pre-rendered sprites looked good (they don't). The voice acting is virtually non-existent. There is a story, told entirely through text, which just serves to give a tiny bit of context to the set of increasingly difficult scenarios that you have to run through. All in all, I'd say avoid this game unless you REALLY love Commandos, Robin Hood, or both. Actually, if you love Robin Hood I'd recommend the much better "The Adventures of Robin Hood" from 1992. That game also controls like garbage (although it is much more forgivable, coming from a 1992 game), but has several innovative and unique gameplay elements, unlike this derivative mess.

Dejare mi reseña en dos idiomas, español e ingles Hace poco para recordar mi infancia con estos juegos tipo estrategia, decidi jugarlo nuevamente. El juego corrio en Windows 11 Version 22h2 sin ningun problema. El unico detalle es en la mision de rescatar a robin que hay un bug, la solucion se encuentra en una reseña de Steam (Español) en la cual debes descargar unos archivos y tener el juego en ingles, una vez hecho la modificacion, cargas una partida antes de llegar a esa mision, entras a la mision del rescate, guardas una partida y entonces alli ya puedes volver a ponerlo en el idioma de preferencia y continuar. Las especificaciones del computador, Ryzen 5700X 16GB de ram y una GTX 1080. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I will leave my review in two languages, Spanish and English. Recently to remember my childhood with these strategy type games, I decided to play it again. The game ran on Windows 11 Version 22h2 without any problem. The only detail is in the mission to rescue Robin that there is a bug, the solution is in a Steam review (Spanish) in which you must download some files and have the game in English, once the modification is done, you load a game before reaching that mission, you enter the rescue mission, save a game and then there you can put it back to the language of preference and continue.
