Evaluation

Legion War launched on July 14, 2021 and has received a steady stream of updates since then. The two paid DLC packs — the Dwarf Legion Pack (July 29, 2021) and the Elf Legion Pack (July 28, 2022) — have both shipped. The store description mentions four legions currently available with a note they "will increase in the future," but this language appears to date from launch and both post-launch legion packs have since been released, suggesting that commitment has been fulfilled. Post-launch, the developer shipped several major content milestones: campaign content for multiple legions through mid-2022, the Elf Legion DLC in July 2022, and a series of feature patches adding ship units and equipment systems through 2023. The last substantive feature patch was on October 13, 2023, which added three new ship types and other gameplay changes. After that, developer activity dropped to a single minor translation fix on July 11, 2024, and there have been no communications since. No further DLC or content has been announced, no roadmap is active, and the developer has not stated plans for additional content. The pattern of updates — which shifted from feature additions to a single localization fix before going quiet — is consistent with a game that has reached the end of its active development cycle. With the last meaningful developer communication on July 11, 2024, and no announcements of anything further, the game appears to be complete.

About this game

Overview

"Legion War" is a 4X strategy game in a fantasy setting. As the leader of a legion,you must build your own castles and expand your territory, explore unknown lands, and search for mysterious treasure, cultivate your own heroes and troops while exterminating your opponent's, and challenge the god who rules the world behind the scenes.

Legions

There are four legions available (which will increase in the future), the expansive HUMAN legion, crafty UNDEAD legion, advanced STEAM legion and WILD legion. Each legion has 4 unique heroes, 9 specialized units, 9 spells and a set of specialized technology cards.

Procedurally Generated Worlds

The worlds are procedurally generated to ensure that each game is a new experience. There are many different types of maps: Pangaea, Great Plain, Mediterranean, Islands, Ring Continent and more. Each game map supports up to six legions playing together.

Resources

Compete for expanded access to the 4 different kinds of resources in the game: Gold, Knowledge, Industry, and Magic. Each resource can be obtained by capturing a corresponding resource on the map or by building structures in your castles.

Units

Units are the main part of your legion, you need them to explore the world, find treasure, defeat enemies, and eventually conquer the gods themselves. Each legion has 9 unique units, and you can occupy a mercenary camp or a sea castle to recruit a variety of neutral units.

Heroes


If units are the arms and legs of your forces, then the Heroes are the backbone. Each legion has 4 unique heroes, and you can also upgrade your normal units to heroes through technology cards allowing any unit to access to talents and equipment but limiting you to one of that unit. Every Hero gets new talent trees each game and can wear six pieces of equipment to customize their use over the course of the game.

Each hero gets a different upgrade talent in each game.

Each hero can wear six pieces of equipment.

Magic

Each legion has 9 unique spells. Casting spells consumes mana but has an immediate effect on the world. Many spells attack your enemy or assist your army while others have unique effects like peering into the fog of war or summoning fields of tombs.

Castle buildings

You can spend Gold to build new buildings or upgrade old ones in your castles and sea castles. Each castle has 1 main building slot and 8 secondary building slots which become available as the castle grows over time. Will you focus on rapid growth or take a more militaristic aproach?

Technology Cards

Knowledge is used to unlock technology cards, many of which fundamentally alter how the game will play out. There are three main tech trees for each legion: economy, military, and magic which each have three levels of tech available. Each slot can be filled with one technology card of the corresponding level and higher levels are unlocked by purchasing your first card of the previous level in any given tree. Most technology cards are shared between legions, but each also has its own unique technology cards which allow them to specilize. Technology cards can increase your economic output, increase the power of your units, strengthen your spells, and much, much more.

Unit Upgrade Trees

The industry resource is used to purhcase upgrades for your units which are effective for all units of that type. You can completely customize your units to meat the strategic demands of each game. Each unit has its own independent talent tree through which a unit can be developed into many different functions. You can also use Industry to equip a unit with 3 different items to further cement their role in your legion.

Random events

There are hundreds of random events in the game and different events will bring unexpected changes to the game as it progresses.

Celestial Magic

There are 2 celestials in the game which start off neutral to all factions. If you occupy an altar on the map, you can pay tribute to one celestial and get magic from them in return. Paying tribute to one of the celestials will bring the ire of other celestial. Once their wrath can no longer be contained, they will order their troops to attack you, or even join the field themselves.
