RPG Gamers summaryA Legionary’s Life is a unique single-player game that allows players to experience the life of a Roman soldier during the Second Punic War and beyond. As players rise through the ranks, they can win prestigious awards or simply focus on making it home alive. The game contains RPG elements, extensive attribute and skill checks, and a turn-based combat system with various variables, including morale and reach. It also includes a touch of roguelike features, such as permadeath, meaning players must start over if their character dies. However, the game is designed to be replayable, and players can spend points on their next character based on their successful performances. It is important to choose challenges carefully based on the legionary’s strengths and weaknesses. The game is not designed to always pit players against impossible odds, and setbacks are minor and easily recoverable. The demo is available for free on Steam and features the first three parts of the 11-part game. Overall, A Legionary’s Life offers a different gaming experience for players looking for a unique perspective on ancient Roman soldiers.
