Fairly accurate Legionary simulator

My first character survived many battles. A veteran of the war against Cartage in Hispania and North Africa, made it all the way to Optio and died in his third campaign in Macedonia, by taking a risk while trying to save a comrade during a scouting mission gone awry. My second character who was very charismatic but not so fit, died in his second battle and never made it back to Rome. My third character, was very promising, raising his fighting and physical skills very quickly, racking up kills and making Tesserarius after just the third or fourth battle. Unfortunately he died fast and unexpectedly after receiving several critical wounds in quick succession against a few Cartaginian defenders. I would say the game is a fairly accurate Legionary simulator and nice history lesson. As in real combat, alot depends on your abilities and choices, but a stroke (or several) of bad luck can kill you at short notice.

Impressive and good game!

I got this game on Steam the moment I noticed it, spent a way too much time on it and its awesome! RNG isnt that bad once you realise how the fighting system - especially fatigue and stance works together. Once you get a feeling for it you will do better and better - even with your shitty starting characters. Following the life of an ordinary legionaire, you will have a rough time with your first starting character a it will have bad starting attributes and miserly fail. But dying is fun! The more as the score you achieve in each run is averaged by the game and results in more and more bonus points you can spend on your character creation screen. That way you will get better and better dudes and you will survive longer and longer and be able to finish those daring feats you can accomplish. Because the difference between starting with an average 45 points per attribute or a healthy 60+ is... quite a lot of dying. Overall, it is a great little game and quite addictive for 7€.

Excellent game!

Do not believe reviews complying about bad RNG. Fight system is based on random rolls, like most of the RPGs, but it is well balanced. The game may be hard, and one have to learn the game to be good at it, but once there it is clear, that skill and tactic has far larger impact then RNG. The game is exceptional in it's genre. I highly recommend it. If you ever wanted to become a Roman legionary this is the best you can get.

Simple and entertaining text RPG

You start as a random dude with lots of attributes to check and some standard gear. Initially and between campaigns You can train, buy stuff or improve Your standing with troops or command. The campaigns themselves are nice descriptions of roman warfare, with a few decisions to take and skill checks to pass. Ultimately You'll end up in combat, which isn't half bad a way to implement roman tactics into a game: You fight the guy You face for a while, then You rotate back to the rear regardless of how You did. Here, too there's decisions to take: Try and seek glory in aggressive combat or do Your best to stay safe for the time being? Your health only regenerates between campaigns, so You best plan ahead. The training gives room for lots of improvements, but generally the mechanics remain simple. You've got a Javelin and a short sword, helm and armor - no magic rings here, upgrading is limited. For me the simplicity of the game is an outstanding quality: It allows meaningful decisions as well as tactics, but I don't need months to learn the game nor do I need to brood over level ups. Since it is turn based I can play at my own speed and take as many breaks as I like... Although it is the kind of game that has me wanting few breaks... A nice little gem and definitely worth recommending! As far as the RNG is concerned: It's a normal RNG and it's involved in everything. I believe it essential in telling this game's story: A legionary has a risky life and things can go south quickly. You've got some information what You are getting Yourself into, but there's always uncertainty. That's what it is supposed to tell us as I understand it. It's neither fair nor broken, it's not "skill" in itself nor does it lead to mindless gameplay. Just Your standard RNG. Some people will always hate it and swear that it is biased against them and so forth, I trust You'll know what to make of such "impressions": Love it or hate it - it works as intended as far as I can tell.

Tough Roman Simulation

Wonderful historical RPG for the $ If you are a roman niche player you will likely enjoy this game. Aside from the interesting plots and ability to up the risk taking over subsequent replays, my favorite aspect is the portability of the game. It takes very little CPU for running in the background, and since it is turn based RPG, it can wait while I do other things and is easy to return to, tab-alt back and forth . Very relaxing, consistently humorous, and bestows an appreciation of ancient soldiering. Perfect for relaxed laptop gaming and filling small bits of downtime. Good Luck!
