Crossfire: Legion, Competent but flawed.

Founded by members of the former developer Relic Entertainment, the company behind Homeworld, Dawn of War, and Company of Heroes, Blackbird Interactive has been focused on developing Real-Time Strategy and Simulation games since 2007. Its latest title, Crossfire: Legion, departs from having a mobile ‘mothership’ and instead attempts to reincarnate another nostalgic and classic game style, Command and Conquer.

The Global Risk is a typical corporate military superpower that has access to an array of powerful conventional hardware like tanks and jets.

The campain typically offers players two infantry types, two vehicle types, and two air types, for a total of six units. Occasionally, additional units will be available, but not often. This is somewhat mirrored in multiplayer where, upon choosing one of the nine…
