When you start, you need to choose quite a few things: which map do you pick? A large one (which means a lot of ground to cover) can be tricky and enemies can slip through your defenses while a small one means there's nowhere to run and hide when those defenses have been ripped to shreds. As simple as it may sound, the game is actually quite intricate. To do so, you need to employ a great deal of strategy while protecting your own orb carrier from your opponent.
The goal of the game is simple: find the carrier of the orb and kill him.
Dark Legions gave its older brothers (and even Archon Ultra, released around the same time) a swift kick up the ass and got away with it.īut let's talk about the game itself: Dark Legions is a mix of combat and clever strategy dressed in gorgeous VGA graphics. You're no longer stuck with the same board layout, you're no longer stuck with the same pieces, you're no longer stuck with dodgy graphics, etc. Maybe that's why the genre is dead: Dark Legions really pushed it to its boundaries. Not content to simply copy its brethren, it took the genre and shifted it around, perfecting it. One of the last games in this genre was Dark Legions. An interesting idea, and games like Archon and Battle Chess sold like hot cakes for years which shows the public thought so as well. This genre was said to be inspired by a scene in Star Wars, which saw Chewbacca play a game of holo-chess involving pawns fighting for a square on the board. One of these was the table-top combat game. Some of these old classics are left to gather dust, however, because they were part of a fad: a niche genre which never survived the 90's. Take a look at today's releases and you can almost always smack on a 90's title that inspired them. Genres were created and matured, colorful universes were invented and many of our games today are heavily influenced by the classics from that era.
