Compared to the original game (which is superb) sadly, this is a massive disappointment. All Amplitude needed to do was take the original (imo up to the point they released Guardians) update the diplomacy, AI & graphics & this would’ve been a great game. Instead, they’ve tried to re-invent the wheel & ended up with something considerably inferior. This game lacks the charm of the original. The artwork is nowhere …

Wholeheartedly recommend to play this game. Let me quickly address a more practical matter given some negative feedback on Steam, so people understand why they will miss out if they listen to what others have written; for the rest, read from the second paragraph. Many negative reviews say that the game is not ready to exit early access yet, and I do in part agree with that. The game is a bit unbalanced at times, the …

Overall great game. There is currently only 5 playable factions, but it will be going up to 6 main factions with 2 additional subfactions with 1.0. That doesn't sound like a whole lot, but so far they actually all feel very different. This isn't Civ where your faction is defined by a single unit, building, and civilization buff. Every faction has all different units, ways of expansion, level of focus on minor …

ENDLESS Legend 2 successfully revives one of the most beloved fantasy 4X strategy series while introducing bold new mechanics that make each campaign feel fresh and unpredictable. The game's greatest innovation is its dynamic world. The ocean planet of Saiadha changes over time as the tides recede, revealing new continents, valuable resources, ancient ruins, and strategic chokepoints. Unlike traditional 4X games …

This is without a doubt the best Endless game IMO. The UI is clear, the music is great, the 4X part is just on point and OMG combat is finally fun and understandable. For someone who's played EL 1, ES2, and Humankind and always thought combat was clunky at best this is just a revolution. Personally, what's great about this game is the fact that each civ is unique with their gameplay both with the units and the grand …

Reactions
60 of 510 · most liked firstThis game is in such a frustrating place, because while it has a whole lot going for it, it is substantially, thoroughly impacted by avoidable design decisions which are deviations from what made previous Endless titles so captivating and enjoyable. Endless Legend was a great strategy game because it was so different in a genre which all kinda tend to look like Civilization. Auriga was a wildly alien landscape of strange life and cultures it was easy to get lost in. The strategy game…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's sad, but what made the first game so special is gone: the artwork, the storytelling, the mystery, the dramatic feel... the dialogue system is a complete failure. Amplitude will try to make up for it, but I'm remaining very cautious and waiting to see. It seems so strange to me that they took this direction after the success of the previous games... I don't know...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not ready to leave EA by a long mile. I tested it early in early (pun intended) and it had potential but was not ready at all. I was surprised to hear of 1.0. I had followed the patches to see changes were made. I thought the game would be readier. Turns out, it's not ready at all. The cinematics and musics are great. The identity of the game great. The factions are very different as usual. Except the GAME itself, the playing, is horrible. The UI is still very clunky (Clicking on a unit on a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As it is, I don't like the direciton it's going. I saw someone describe this as "endless humankind" and you know dude, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ slay. This game has this absolutely awful scaling system at its core that I just don't see them changing or removing, and it fundamentally sucks the fun out of the game at such a core level that nothing they could change about the game would make up for it. Everything you do scales in cost, and the rate at which it scales is absolutely staggering. The whole tech tree…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not sure the EA end date is quite right - "Leaving Early Access: 17 Sep, 2026" it says.... that's like 3 weeks from now and I gotta say, unless they suddenly add a whole heap more to this it seems just... lacking. What is here is beautiful, no doubt - music, art, world and lore etc. are all fantastic. But it just .... doesn't really feel like a full game. It feels small even on a "Huge" world (I've restarted dozens of times and normally the AI is about 2-3 sectors away which feels like right…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You can look at this game in two ways. If you played the first Endless Legend or your first rodeo. First Rodeo: A fairly decent 4X game but there are better out there. Played the first Endless Legend : Like everyone who has played previous Endless games, I was very excited and waited a long time for this but....... Completely underwhelming and a poor show for Amplitude. All they had to do was improve the graphics of the first game, improve the enemy AI and have some more visually stunning…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's finally here! Endless Legend 2 is the follow-up to Amplitudes masterpiece Endless Legend, a 4X strategy game set on a planet in the Endless universe. I have played already over 300 hours during Early Access and can say that this game does not disappoint. Endless Legend is set in a mix between a sci-fi and fantasy setting, a vast universe with advanced cvilizations but also magic and abstract beings. If you come from the first game, let me introduce you to some of the key differences to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just absurd amounts of AI cheating for artifical difficulty. AI cheats on production AI cheats on unit regen AI cheats on unit recruitment (A LOT) AI cheats on upkeep for units And worst of all, the game is balanced around the map expanding at certain time intervals, AI knows exactly where it will expand the most, exactly where resources will spawn in 50+ turns so it just plans for that and colonizes all regions that will be most efficient where the player has absolutely 0 knowledge of this.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's been a while since I've played a game that so perfectly encapsulates the urge to play "just one more turn..." Eventually, some corner of my brain jerks away from the empire of bugmen or animated suits of armour or robotic coral I've been commanding and I realize that it's so late it's actually early. There's something compelling about the steady iteration, the gradual progression to your goals, and EL2 nails it perfectly. As is to be expected from an Endless title, the art direction, the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stay out of early access games Edit for dev: I like the game, I really do as I did humankind and the other endless games. I've left feedback both on the forum and discord and done multiple surveys already. Although progress is moving along well as with the district cost balancing, many more features or QoL is still missing. Here is a few that I feel is still missing as of May. -People have been asking for a delay movement on turn start for the AI. While we get bombard with messages, they get…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ve loved most Endless games, but this one’s just not hitting right. The dialogue feels flat and charmless. Honestly, it reads like AI slop—just doesn’t click with the world or the factions in a meaningful way. For an asymmetric game, that’s a pretty big miss. FOR GOD'S SAKE HIRE WRITERS
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LE July 2026: It keeps getting better and better. A complete overhaul of the narrative, both display and art, has just dropped and it's excellent. I wish I could buy this game twice. LE May 2026: Continuous, wonderful work being done ever since. Game is improving majorly, and the developers are in constant touch with the community. I can't get enough of EL2. Strongly recommend this 4X game. It's absolutely lovely, and I look forward to playing more. Two things in particular make it click…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edit: 1.0 brings the sandshapers - maybe the only faction I really think has the sort of spirit and ingenuity I associated with Amplitude. Unfortunately, it is not enough to undo what I list below. This is very hard. I wish I could give a neutral rating. I have to go with no for now and say that there's still a lot to love and I still want to see Amplitude continue to build this game out and continue to make more in the future. I hope my rating can change at some point in the future. -- To…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has potential if you're looking to play multiplayer, with a variety of mechanics that breathe new life into this genre. But if all you're concerned about is single player.... The AI is absolute crap, there's functionally zero challenge, even worse than the original Endless legends. Just for an example, in my current game, one of the AI bordering my territory declared war on me. I ignored it for about 15 turns as it did almost nothing, then sent 2 armies and crushed them completely…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →REVIEW 1 (3h) Sadly too late to refund. === REVIEW 2 (5h) Basically a worse Endless Ledgend 1. The map, districts, armies, etc. Everything is a mess. It's beautiful, but without any visibility. For example : - On city screen, it's VERY hard to tell what districts you have build. - On main map, it's VERY hard to tell which tiles are just average and which one are great. - Armies could have clear colored outlines... but not... they all have grey flags for some reason. Is there a single reason…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Right now I would not buy this game. The AI is out of wack. Other factions spread way faster and build way more units than they should be able to. Hell even minor factions are pumping out stacks that are somehow bigger and stronger than my best units. Every game I have played so far has been ruined by AIs having so much more that's so much better than what I can possibly do at any time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I try to keep it short. Background for my gaming: Endless Legend 600h, Endless Space 700h, Civ6 700, Stellaris 1k, etc. What do I enjoy about playing 4x games: The building up, the lore, the exploring, multiple ways to win, multiple ways to go in a strategic way, get immersed in the world and a fighting system, that is either short and straightforward or offers another layer of complexity. I hesitated buying the EA version because usually they suck quite a bit and are rushed so devs…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just going to do a quick TL:DR version as this is still in Early Access, will update as things change. First things first, I am a huge Amplitude fan. I have every game they released (except Endless Dungeon, whew that was a stinker and glad I got to alpha and beta test that) and I think every DLC (might be missing one or two). So I say this with love. Do not get this yet. It has not fully baked. Several of the longer reviews give a good breakdown but it boils down to this: The writing is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was really looking forward to this release as a long time fan of the Endless Legend and Endless Space games, and a lifelong 4x fan. Sadly, I cannot recommend it. There are many gameplay issues holding it back, but I genuinely believe the developers will do what they can to change, fix and improve all questionable gameplay elements. But the writing...dear god the writing. It is, without any hint of hyperbole, the worst 'professional' writing I've ever had the displeasure of reading.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good game but cannot recommend in a honest manner with all of the bugs. Not sure what is the point of EA when games still choose to release like this. Just some bugs I've encountered: - Missing text / dummy text - Locked units that cannot be interacted with - Missing and disappearing combat resolution messages - Inconsistent / uncounted / missing bonuses - SFX disappearing mid-game completely Reading the various message boards, seems there are lots more that affected my playthroughs in…

Take that for what you will, but it is odd...…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just based on the little time I've had in the game. I don't necessarily want to recommend it, but I also don't want to not recommend it. This is one of those in the middle situations. The game itself is pretty good. A lot of the good stuff from games like Civ 7 and Civ 6 are in here plus obviously the original endless legend and humankind. Influence has a variety of uses and the cast, as per usual, is pretty diverse in playstyle and overall complexity. The combat is slightly similar to the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →*** Written in Early Access Update #28*** I don't think this game is ready for most players yet. Unless you want to be fighting bugs, freezes, and poor design, hold off until they're done cooking. Major issues I've encountered: + Game freezes and must be force-quit on Monsoon transition cinematics sometimes. In multiplayer, this is persistent until the host reloads the game. + Game AI is poorly designed, once you're at war with the AI once, even if you're on the defensive and get a white…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not yet. The first one is still both better and cheaper, but this is on its way to being a successor. The seas draining away to reveal new land is a great mechanic. 1. Too many bugs still. Off the top of my head, Tutorial on population resets every time you boot the game, even when loading into a save. When building buildings in your cities, the resource bonus calculation is broken. It doesn't consider what buildings you have queued, and if you have a tier 2 building it often doesn't…

neutral · AI labelView post →This game is genuinely a great example of innovating yet holding the greybeards hands and wisdom and making a FANTASTIC 4x game. I really can not stress more that this game is a great example of the genre in many ways. Their hard effort really shows.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Someone asked in the Amplitude discord how this game compared to EL1, and people seemed to find my answer helpful, so I thought I'd send it over here too. here's what I'd say I like most about EL2 that isn't in EL1 so far: * the game is *breathtakingly* beautiful. * the world is incredibly strange and alien in a way EL1 didn't always manage (visually and thematically Auriga was, but mechanically it wasn't always quite there). Reminds me of how Civ: BE should have been (and in its better…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to like it, but i cant. There is something lost here, that the other amplitude had. i really dont like the UI
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The original Endless Legend was my favorite 4x, scars and all. While this is wearing the clothes of the original, I'm not sure if it's the timing, playstyle, way expansions work and can be attached to your main city, or how the units feel, but it just misses the mark. I'm open to revisiting my review in a few months, but I bought the game without reservations, and that was a mistake.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Basically just a next turn simulator. Game UI and UX feels super clunky. It feels like I'm just builing thing for the sake of building, and rarely get positive feedback as to how I'm doing. Love the combat mechanic, wish the old troop customization mechanic will be added to the game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not now, maybe not ever. I love the Endless games, but the camera is taken out of your control so often here [zooming in, multiple times in a single turn at times, for quests, narrative events, etc.], that constantly pulling it back out just to see what I'm trying to do burns through any patience I have. And I need that patience to get through the overwhelming amount of the menus that all seem to look the same. They're trying to pitch this 'we want to hear your ideas' system, that lets you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After playing for 4 hours the only thing this game made me feel was nostalgic for the first endless legend. The music is ok, the visual art is ok. The vision just isnt there though, at least imo. The buildings feel blocky and childish as opposed to the designs of the original title, the proportions of all the units feel off, and the color pallet has a sickening pastel feel to it. This is opposed to the original which had clean and sleek designs with each faction having a distinctive design…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played every Endless 4X game to some extent, and I would personally even say that Amplitude makes the best turn-based strategy games. This game appears to follow in those footsteps nicely. (I am writing this review during Early Access, specifically in Summer 2026, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.) The Good * City management has never been so intuitive and easy to understand. * Combat is miles better than in Endless Legend 1. Units feel very distinct in their roles, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Updated review right before early access is over. TLDR, did you play Endless Legend or Civilization? Its like that but better. The game was worth the money shortly after early access launched, and they have kept adding to it ever since. So in Q&A form: Why this game and not Civ? This one is more of a fantasy 4X game, and as such there are a few areas focused on for that. Firstly, there are faction quests that further the story (!) of the faction that you are playing. The quests are…

For someone who's played EL 1, ES2, and Humankind and always thought combat was clunky at best this is just a revolution. Personally, what's great about this game is the fact that each civ is unique with their gameplay both with the units and the grand strategy part. Oh yeah and the monsoon system where the terrain gets…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I could recommend this as Endless Legends was my favorite 4x in the fantasy/ sci fi genre for the longest time. Same with the countless hours I spent in the Endless Space series. However, they have made further streamlining iterations to the game that I just cannot recommend or like. Heroes have lost a lot of their flexibility, they no longer contribute anything to administering your civilization outside of a few council slots unlocked during the monsoons. They are pure combat focused…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was skeptical after watching some videos on this game but holy crap is it a big step down from the first game. The look and feel isn't great, but the writing is subpar and sounds like it comes from a marvel movie and not the Endless universe. Extremely disappointing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awful writing, strangely forgettable soundtrack and a messy interface, a far cry from the previous game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Huge upgrade from, and I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ loved 1. Combat is actually fun in this one. District building is simplified. Less busy work, more fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →11/28/2025 Edit: Take this in-depth negative review with a dash of salt, as the devs just recently unloaded a completely transparent newsletter, and plan on addressing, refining, and perfecting almost, if not everything below that I, and many other EL 1 players would take issue with. Give it a month or two to see what happens. I will, or however long it takes, I don't mind waiting for perfection, and update this review accordingly.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I never liked Humankind, and was unable to even play a full campaign in it due to the many features, that I did not like. However, I assumed that we would return to our roots when Endless Legend 2 came out. However, there is too much Humankind in my Endless Legend. Rather than get into a long-winded review of every feature - good or bad - that I have seen, I rather explain things in a way that may only make sense to others who are just like me. When a game grows into a series of games it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →EDIT UPDATE: Oooof it still isn't ready - it's missing so much immersion I can't explain it in a short message. The most bizarre thing to me is how unalive everything feels considering the core concept is the map is an "alive planet". There's no unique creatures and dangers and gameplay changing things you encounter after monsoons other than a doomwraith. It needs MORE life and a LOT MORE of it asap. The minor factions are cool yet do absolutely nothing. Make them feel more alive, have…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kinda bad tbh. The tech system in particular is disappointing. Researching new technologies rarely feels impactful, and it's hard to tell what you're actually working towards. I especially dislike that the game doesn't clearly show when the next age starts or what exactly is required to get there. Progression feels vague instead of giving you a meaningful long-term goal. I'd much rather have a more linear and readable tech tree like Civilization or Humankind, where you can look ahead, plan a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An absolutely fantastic follow up to both Endless Legend 1 ("EL1") and Humankind ("HK") that wonderfully blends ideas from both games. Now, to begin, with the things I think are good and/or improved from EL1 and HK: - Firstly, the music is once again an absolute standout. - Secondly, the visual style and presentation is absolutely top notch and it is once again a game world that is just nice to be playing in. Further, I have had no graphic glitches or frame-rate drops at all in my time so…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An excellent successor which will only get better with time. The base game mechanics are all sound with plenty of disparate factions with custom builds available too. Exciting roadmap to look forward to. Solid 9/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really sad to see the strong art style of the 1st be sacrificed for a more generic 4X look. Looks more like Humankind. One of the biggest charms of Endless Legend was its distinct look. Not a bad game though, just nothing special either

In Early Access at time of review; [edit (post Retold Tales Update, but still in Early Access): I think the new dialogue system is miles ahead of the click ad nauseum that was happening before this update. way more compelling and feels like a more concise experience. I might have been a little harsh with the feedback on terrain, below. (I had forgotten q and e keys could rotate the map, making the delineation of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game will one day be good and complete, however I would not recommend purchasing it until that point. for 50$ you are paying to beta test. This is something they should be paying YOU for.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I deeply enjoyed the first Endless Legend and after playing several hundred hours I eventually tired of it. The special nature of Endless Legend is the incredibly unique mechanics of the different factions (they function very differently) and how you must significantly change your style of gameplay when you choose a different faction. Also its a gorgeous game. This sequel is totally refreshing, and incorporates so many QOL improvements over the first game while still being quintessentially…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First impressions are really good. This feels like a much more cohesive and well polished version of Endless Legends 1. There's a number of things unique to each game, indeed 2 is set on an entirely different planet to Auriga and has fairly different factions. (You do get some returning factions). What hasn't changed is the story and art style. Both were the highlights of 1 and they're the highlights here too: this is a game where the art direction carries a ton. A major change is that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm about 7 hours in and I can't really decide how I feel about EL2. I like it, I know that. I just feel like I'm playing a clone of Age of Wonders 4. At least, in its current state anyway. I suspect with time EL2 will add in enough features they stand out as a unique entry into the 4x space. In its current EA state I can say I enjoyed the mechanics, the current set of starter factions are fascinating, and the environment is GORGEOUS. I love zooming in and out to admire the animations.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is like a more story-focused version of Age of Wonders: Planetfall. That game has a lot of fun stuff but too much of it. This game is a much leaner and focused experience. It's much more about taking your heroes and their nation on a quest to discover the planet and its secrets, less about the growth of a civilization. That said, it makes it much less enjoyable to play it more than once per faction. Once you have finished the story, doing it again feels very repetitive. BUT the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Creative and well-designed game. Simply put, the Tidefall mechanic works to solve a real issue: exploration is the most fun part of these type of 4X games, and Endless Legend 2 lets you repeat that phase throughout the game without undoing your progress to date. The music is excellent, and the combat is fun. This game is well worth getting. Even the AI is improved compared to past entries such as Endless Space 2.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It looks beautiful, the soundtrack is amazing, the UI couldn't be better, the gameplay is the original game and then some. The issue? The scaling is completely broken right now, the AI is stupidly aggressive, even the peaceful ones. Everyone beelines to you and boxes you in before you have a hope of expanding. Random quests can spawn t3 full armies within the first 20 turns. Losing a single unit is basically a restart if it happens early, it completely cripples you. Sieges completely stop your…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A true successor of Endless Legend 1, EL2 has everything that made me fall in love with the Endless universe in the first place. Amazing soundtrack, interesting and engaging gameplay, a compelling story. The Humankind-styled district building is well handled and interestingly showcases each faction's gameplay philosophy, and I can't WAIT to see what will be revealed as time goes on.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you liked Endless Legend 1 then this game is great. I love their tide mechanic, (gradually reveals more cool stuff on the map as you play), since it keep the playthrough feel fresh and exciting, especially since you can often see that there is something cool down there, but you can't reach it quite yet. Combat is very fun as well, I hope they expand on the talent trees a bit more at some point, but there's quite a bit of depth. the events and quests are cool too, albeit once you've played…
