Buy A Legionary's Life PC key

A Legionary's Life is a single-player game with RPG elements set during the Second Punic War and beyond. You play as a Roman soldier, rising through the ranks and earning prestigious awards or focusing on making it home alive.

Decisions and progression

Attribute and skill checks shape your chances of success. Your legionary has strengths and weaknesses, so you choose which challenges to take on. Failed tasks can bring a mild penalty to Morale and/or Opinions, which measure your relationships with relevant figures and groups, including your superiors and fellow soldiers.

If your character dies, permadeath means you must start over. The game is designed for replay, with only a fraction of its content appearing in each run. You can also spend points on your next legionary based on how well your most successful characters performed.

Turn-based combat

Combat is turn-based and takes account of variables including morale, reach, confined space and high ground. The game has 11 parts; the demo contains the first three.
