I&#8217;ll post here the bottom line of that preview for the hasty:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00ab<em>I am really looking forward for Legends. And if you\u2019re a 4X space strategy game lover, as I am, I think you cannot\u00a0afford\u00a0to miss this one either. I think they\u2019re making history here. In my opinion Distant Worlds Legends shows enough potential to be running for the best 4X space strategy game ever made. That\u2019s a very controversial and bold statement to throw I know, but I\u2019m totally convinced that Legends may be that good (Space Sector: Adam Solo)<\/em>\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For even more details I recommend you have a look at the next trailer made by the developers and the publisher, which features Legends new gameplay features.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"600\" height=\"350\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/GAaiwwpZ-WY?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;hd=1\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p>You can <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/dw-legends-download\" target=\"_blank\">buy Legends<\/a> at the publisher&#8217;s store (Matrix Games), the only place where it is being sold at the moment.
