The story takes place after the events that occured in Operation: Eisenfaust Origins and Operation: Eisenfaust. After Schabbs' demise, it was assumed that the Eisenfaust plans had been destroyed once and for all. But a former protégé of Schabbs has taken the blueprints of the operation and is attempting to restart it. It is up to special agent B.J. Blazkowicz to stop the Nazi's from creating another mutant army. Will B.J. stop them, or is he about to find out that the operation might have progressed a lot faster than he thought, with its effects far more devastating...

Spoiler:

Please read readme before playing!

Have fun!

Another update to fix end-game (end-mod) ratios/statistics.

Hmm, when I downloaded the latest patch, all my save files are corrupted...

That is unexpected...

Always good to backup main files before an update.

I think I can revert the latest dropbox file temporarary to previous dropbox version...

Previous version can be downloaded here:

Thanks Doomjedi

We'll upload a fix for the saved files support later

Normal links updated with a fix that doesn't make old saved files unusable

Hmm the save files work, but the ratios are now showing 81% in all 3 categories.

Did you complete all secret levels and can we get a copy of your save game?

Yes, I did and I'll send you the save file.

The 100% completion stuff totally missed my testing because I never play levels that way. I'm surprised this many people go for 100% everything.

My endstats are now showing 81% as well...

Dark_wizzie: I'm actually surprised there are poeple who dont aim for getting 100%. Since most of the bosses are very easy to beat, I don't see just completing the game as a challenge.

During testing some people were worried that the game was too difficult, lol. I ran around the last level with 50 rockets. Or was it more?

And yet we still get comments that this game is too tough. Goes to show how hard it is to balance a mod so that it's a challenge for everyone eh? Or better: that it's impossible to do that.

So f-ing what. I love difficulty. Part of the charm of mods like Eisenfaust Legacy and Spear Resurrection and End of Destiny is that they, at times, are ridiculously difficult, enough to make you want to ragequit. When you finally gather enough brain activity to solve the puzzles, start a level over,  screw up the mecha suits so that no mutant jumps into them (lol) it all works out. I love Eisenfaust Legacy even though I've cursed the hell out of it. Such a beautiful piece of work.

I let the mutants man the mechas. Gives you a higher score LOL!

I think the game is pretty well-balanced in terms of difficulty and also allows different ways of gameplay.  Personally, I take things slower and more cautiously, but there are some people who go in rambo and are braver than I am I've beaten the game a few times and still play certain levels just because I enjoy the gameplay itself, some of my favorite levels are levels 17, 18, 19, 24, and 27, just to name a few.

So are there any chances that the end stats bug will be fixed? 

There is a chance. I am looking at some files Milanor sent me. I'll update the executable if I find a solution.

now i played all levels. very great mod. i love it!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it

Legacy was quite effective in using its resources...so not much scrapped art to show...but still, for anyone who might be interested:

It's a spoiler for those who didn't finish the game yet so I'll put them under spoiler tag...but behold original sketches of ending credits screens (for colored one - special thanks to Kris):
