Legend Battles

Legend Battles is a tactical extraction shooter built around combined-arms combat and vertical movement. You deploy with custom loadouts, fight neural-AI factions and rival squads, complete randomized three-mission sequences, and try to extract with your loot. Operations span six maps covering 104 km² and the 500 km² Bellona continent, with dynamic weather and combat across outdoor areas, interiors, basements, rooftops and stationary spacecraft.

Factions and missions

Five neural-AI factions and rival squads can oppose you. The factions have distinct enemies and attacks:

• ET-ACUs (Automated Combat Units): Heavily armed UFOs, combat drones, hover tanks and rotating blade platforms that use miniguns, flamethrowers, Tesla guns and plasma cannons.
• Mechanical Legion: Armored humanoid and tracked combat robots equipped with heavy rotary weapons, rocket launchers and thermal ordnance.
• Armored Aliens: Elite sci-fi warriors with futuristic wave guns, plasma pistols, quad-drone rigs and missile batteries.
• Extraterrestrial Invaders: Fast, erratic melee attackers armed with studded bats, tactical blades and C-4 suicide belts designed to break squad lines.
• Ferocious Monsters: Biological beasts that spit toxic acid, freezing liquids, flames or poisonous gas before attacking with claws and bites.

Missions use 14 objective types and are arranged in randomized sequences of three. Weather ranges across 20 conditions, from clear skies to cosmic night events and severe storms, which affect sightlines, ballistic drop, acoustics and vehicle traction.

Deploy across the world

The battlefields include Mars’s red dust, four 16 km² DLC islands—Fortuna, Isis, Magna Mater and Minerva—a 36 km² Aurora DLC, and the 500 km² Bellona DLC for Solo PvE. Environments include rocky deserts, bioluminescent forests, flowery meadows, underwater vegetation, ancient pyramids, Greek temples and alien shrines. Dense futuristic megacities have accessible multi-story interiors, combat-ready rooftops and cyberpunk basements.

You fight across five vertical zones: outdoors, indoors, basements, rooftops and stationary spacecraft. Ziplines and parachutes help you cross the terrain, while jet suits, ornithopters and vehicles provide other ways to move and deploy.

Move through the air

You can launch operations from a customized 3D Siege-Breaker flagship, make powered landings in high-velocity jet suits, or use tactical parachutes and ornithopters to choose an insertion point. Operators can climb cliffs, trees, multi-story buildings and fences, and use ziplines to reach high-altitude stationary spacecraft.

Attack helicopters travel at up to 250 km/h and can carry your squad plus two additional operators for aerial assaults. The vehicle roster also includes race cars reaching 406 km/h, GP motorcycles reaching 395 km/h, 4x4 interceptors, heavy armored transports and personal ornithopters.

Fight and extract

Squads start operations with minimal funds and earn currency through kills, looting, sharing with teammates and completing mission sequences. You can gear up during a match at free Air Drops or Purchase Stations, using Battle Coins earned in the operation. Loadouts, specialist skill trees, ARPG medals and ammunition types let you adapt to your opponents; extracting preserves unspent coins, recyclables and processors.

Operations use a four-tier risk framework, with difficulty, AI behavior and rewards scaling by tier:

• Cadet Session: A low-risk onboarding tier with insurance, relaxed AI aggression and no gear loss on elimination.
• Operator Session: A balanced tier with moderate PvP combat, standard AI activity and partial gear risk, suited to mid-tier resource gathering.
• Veteran Session: High-stakes operations with full loss of non-secured gear, advanced JEPA-driven AI squads and rare high-tier rewards.
• Abyss Session: An endgame tier with maximum tension, hyper-aggressive extraterrestrial encounters and large jackpot payouts for squads that survive.

Legend Battles has Co-op PvE, PvPvE and Solo PvE operations. In squad matches, fallen players automatically respawn on a countdown while a teammate remains alive, up to three respawns per match. Enemy kills and mission completions can shorten the timer. Teammates can also retrieve an eliminated player’s DNA ID crate and scan it at a Bionic Station guarded by NPCs and snipers; the squadmate then returns in a yellow hover taxi and jumps in before deploying a parachute. In Solo PvE, fallen operators automatically respawn after a standard countdown.

Vehicles and weapons

Vehicles can be collected across the terrain, each with distinct handling physics, and you can switch between first- and third-person driving views. Some have firing ports for passengers; all require fuel management and maintenance. Their damage is simulated with Unreal Engine 5.6’s Chaos system: doors, tires and windshields deteriorate under fire, while engine or fuel-tank destruction can create explosive traps.

The arsenal covers primary, secondary, heavy, special, throwable and melee weapons. Weapons have rarity tiers and extensive attachments, allowing you to balance fire rate, effective range, reload speed and weight-based mobility. Combat includes bullet drop, distance-based damage falloff, caliber-based recoil and armor penetration against high-tier plating, with spatial audio cues. You also manage medical kits and can collect five elemental Energy Barrels during loot missions to unlock large Battle Coin jackpots and valuable marketplace tradeables.

Classes and progression

You customize a MetaHuman operator with tactical gear and advance through four specialist branches: Bulwark, Mobility, Engineering and Ordnance. Clothing items provide dynamic environmental camouflage, silhouette disruption and squad identification. ARPG medals progress through Initiate, Specialist, Veteran, Champion and Apex ranks, granting scalable boosts to survival, weapon lethality, movement speed, vehicle durability, heavy ordnance and orbital strikes.

Each branch offers different equipment and abilities:

• Bulwark: Phase-Shift Armor, Nano-Mesh Weave and a three-tier Reactive Kinetic Shield improve durability. Sentry Sentinels and Dual Cerberus Drones provide defense, Priority Airdrop Signal calls in supplies, and the Sandstorm and Blizzard Satellites unleash weather strikes.
• Mobility: The Anti-Gravity Levitator, Single-Thruster Jump-Pack and Twin-Thruster Flight-Suit support aerial movement. This branch also provides the Ornithopter Swift, Turbo-Charged Racing Motorcycle, 4x4 All-Terrain Interceptor, Heavy Armored Transport and Attack Helicopter Wasp. Tactical Teleport Centers and permanent Continental Teleportation Stations enable rapid repositioning and extraction.
• Engineering: Exoskeletons progress from Lv 1 to Lv 3, alongside the Advanced Bio-Regen Kit and Emergency Quantum Respawn. Nano-Repair Injection Towers, Tesla Arc-Kill Towers and Neural-Link Terminals support fortification and control of objective networks. The Thunderstorm Satellite and Radioactive Fog Generator affect whole combat sectors.
• Ordnance: Three tiers of hydraulic power armor lead to the Exoskeleton Suit Mk III Titan. An unlimited-ammo Minigun, Sniper Turrets, Flamethrower Turrets, High-Intensity Laser Turrets and Guided Missile Batteries add firepower, while the Tornado Satellite and multi-vector Orbital Bombing Raids deliver area attacks.

Lobby and marketplace

The 3D lobby is a large space of rooms and corridors with animated NPCs. You can decorate it with furniture and trophies crafted from extracted materials and processors. Extracted cosmetics, materials, crafted medals and lobby decorations can be traded on the Steam Community Marketplace; cosmetics can also be purchased with Battle Coins.

The game also has a free-to-play, single-player PvE training application in Early Access, where you can test combined-arms combat, high-speed movement and vertical urban warfare without risk. The Full Session DLC unlocks the complete tactical experience, including persistent four-class skill trees, ARPG medal crafting and high-stakes operations across the DLC islands, Aurora and Bellona.
