Legena: Union Tides

Legena: Union Tides is the first game in a trilogy of 2D turn-based RPGs. You follow several heroes as they investigate the mystery of the Narrator, a figure said to appear beneath a red sky and green lightning, and try to protect Scholar, who holds secrets about how to defeat him.

Story

Tetiro Aceus and Atesan Turwin are travelling to Dynol and Vesira to bring peace between the lands when they meet Scholar. The Narrator is pursuing him, so Tetiro and Atesan are hired to protect him. Though the Narrator was long dismissed as a childhood monster, historical records tell of victims he has claimed across the ages.

Other characters are also drawn into events around Dynol and Vesira: an old friend of Tetiro and Atesan investigates reports of missing people, a Pirate Lord and his companion plan to steal a ship, and a toy animal comes to life without knowing who she is or where she came from. Together, the heroes investigate the rumours surrounding the two lands.

Choices and combat

Your choices affect allies and foes, potentially motivating your companions and changing other characters’ fates, though your own fate remains fixed. You can import saves between games in the trilogy to carry your choices forward and see how they affect the course of history.

Combat is turn-based, and the system shows who will strike next. You can use enemy attack patterns to your advantage and prepare for fatal attacks. Weather also affects battles: hot conditions strengthen fire spells, while fog reduces enemy accuracy, but opponents can use the weather too.

Skills and difficulty

Equip Feathers, made from the Channelling itself, to use spells in combat. Equipping Feathers of the same type lets you unleash more powerful spells.

The Difficulty Grid lets you adjust enemies, rewards, and your SP and CP consumption. It includes Insanity Mode. New difficulty modes can also unlock hidden codes and secrets, leading to content such as weapons, characters and dungeons.
