Description
In Dark Legions, players take turns moving pieces on a strategic board, either against the computer or another person. Before the match begins, each player uses a set number of credits to buy forces, choosing from 16 different characters, traps, and rings of power that boost their creatures. One character is designated as the Orb Keeper, and if that figure dies, the game ends. When a piece lands on a square occupied by an opponent, the action shifts to a separate melee map that shows the terrain. On this map, each player controls just their own figure in a real-time, simultaneous fight.
