Description
Dark Legions is an action based strategy game. The player may play against the computer or another human on a strategic game board. At the start, the player buys forces with a predefined number of credits, choosing from 16 characters, various traps, and rings of power to upgrade creatures. One character is designated the Orb Keeper, whose death ends the game. Players set up on a chosen map and take turns moving. When a piece moves into an opponent's square, action shifts to a separate melee map representing the terrain, where each player controls a single piece in a real-time simultaneous fight.
