A Legionarys Life lets you play as a Roman soldier during the years of the Second Punic War and beyond. Rise up through the ranks and win prestigious awards or just focus on making it home in one piece; its up to you.This is a unique single-player game with RPG elements extensive usage of attribute and skill checks a turn-based combat system involving many variables (including morale reach confined space and high ground) and a touch of roguelike features. Among them permadeath. If you are unfamiliar with the term it means youll have to start over if your character dies; but dont worry: the game is designed to be replayable and youll see only a fraction of it in each run. Also youll be able to spend points on your next legionary based on how well your most successful characters performed.Try the demoThis game is unlike most RPGs. Your character wont be successful at everything. Challenges should be picked carefully based on your legionarys strengths and weaknesses. In general the game is not designed to put you in a situation where the odds are against you unless you willingly step into it. At times you may fail to perform a task and take a mild penalty in Morale and/or Opinions (a measure of your relationships with relevant entities within the game like your superiors and your fellow soldiers). Dont get discouraged when this happens it is nothing more than a minor setback you can easily recover from. If you think the game is treating you unfairly in some situations feel free to drop a line on the discussions forum. This is an Early Access version and may need rebalancing.Most of all I strongly recommend that you try the demo before you buy this game. Its available on the official website and its free theres no better way to make sure that A Legionarys Life suits your taste. The demo contains the first 3 parts out of 11 planned.
