About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
Form Your Own Fellowship. It’s Time for War!
A Shadow rises in the North. Step into a darker, grittier Middle-earth where war rages beyond the Fellowship’s path. The Lord of the Rings: War in the North™ - Legacy Edition expands Tolkien’s epic legendarium, delving into the brutal, untold story of Agandaûr, a Black Númenórean and servant of Sauron who has rallied an immense force in the ruins of Fornost. While Frodo and Samwise embark on their journey to Mount Doom, a new Fellowship must rise and defend the North. Let this be the hour when we draw swords together!
Choose Your Orc-Bane – Seamlessly hot-swap between three uniquely skilled characters.
Eradan: Dúnedain Ranger–Stealth and precision with bows and swords
Andriel: Elven Loremaster–Magical support with healing and area-of-effect spells
Farin: Dwarven Champion–Tank-like durability and devastating melee attacks
Co-op Fellowship – Play with up to 2 friends online or in split-screen co-op. The survival of your Fellowship and all of Middle-earth depends upon your uniquely skilled heroes working together. Fight together or die alone!
Deep RPG Progression – Customize your hero with unique skills, abilities, and gear. Collect powerful weapons and armor to shape your playstyle.
Command a Great Eagle – Call upon Beleram, a mighty Great Eagle, to strike from the skies and turn the tide of battle.
Iconic Cameos & Locations – Encounter familiar faces like Aragorn, Gandalf, and Elrond as you journey through lore-rich locations including the Elven sanctuaries of Rivendell and Lórien, the daunting heights of The Lonely Mountain, and the fog-laden paths of Mirkwood.
Darker, Grittier Middle-earth – Experience the brutal reality of war with mature storytelling, blood-soaked battlefields, and the desperate fight to defend the North against Sauron’s advancing armies.
A World Full of Peril – The world is gnawed by nameless things. Face ruthless Orcs, monstrous Trolls, deadly Wargs, spectral Barrow-wights, and the dark sorcery of Agandaûr’s forces in epic battles across Middle-earth. Don’t be hasty—Agandaûr commands even greater terrors, summoning Fell Beasts and Creatures of Shadow to his aid.
Forth, and Fear No Darkness! What Say You?!
