Celtic Legends is a 1991 turn-based strategy video game published by Ubi Soft for Amiga.

Gameplay

Celtic Legends is a game in which two sorcerer-generals, Eskel and Sogrom, wage war against each other in the land of Celtika.[1]

Reception

Allen Greenberg reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Legends is really a respectable piece of work, one only hard-core strategists may wish to avoid. Those casual players who enjoy some depth to their simulations, without the danger of drowning, will probably have a good time with it."[1]

Alan Bunker for Amiga Action called the game "Overwhelmingly addictive and fantastic fun to play", noting how its graphics and sound added to its appeal and depth[2]

Karl Foster for Amiga Power called the game "a real challenge to master even against the computer player" but noted that the two-player option "brings to light numerous new ways of completing the game".[4]

Tom Malcom for Info felt that the game "adds so much pizazz and polish" to the strategy, and wargaming genre, and complemented the control interface.[6]

Ed Ricketts for Amiga Format said that despite needing a little more on the effects side, he found it "a really absorbing, and pretty intelligent game that has real long-term potential".[3]

Mike Pattenden for CU Amiga found that the game has "more than enough depth and variety to keep you going" despite its restricted role-playing element.[7]
