Buy Legacy of Sin: Ill-Boding PC key

Legacy of Sin: Ill-Boding is a city-building and tower-defense game set in a Renaissance world devastated by a magical apocalypse. Humanity’s remaining survivors retreat before orcish hordes. You lead them as Aldrick, a mercenary promoted to lord after the deaths of the nobles he served, rebuilding the last bastion into the center of a new empire.

Rebuild the last bastion

The settlement begins as burned-out houses clustered around a crumbling castle. You rebuild its infrastructure, restore agriculture and industry, and manage resources to keep survivors fed and equipped. You also organize rag-tag survivors and shell-shocked mercenaries into an army capable of resisting the orcs and other monsters.

Command the defense

Turn-based management of your city and lands combines with real-time battles, tactics and route defense. You lead soldiers in battle, earn experience through victories, and unlock upgrades and specialized battlefield abilities. You must balance defending and expanding your settlement with managing its resources.

Choose your forces

Research, customizable loadouts and limited resources shape your decisions. You can invest in city and fortress expansion and defend them with cheap, expendable soldiers who may be overwhelmed by higher-level enemies. Alternatively, you can develop a small group of heroic units, leaving fewer troops to stop orcs from slipping through.

A Renaissance apocalypse

The game explores how survivors might face a magical calamity that nearly wipes out Renaissance Europe, along with rampaging orcs and other monsters. Its hand-drawn animations and environments draw on research into Renaissance weapons, clothing and fighting techniques, with an art style inspired by classic 90s cartoons.
