Try Dark Turn-Based Strategy Game Black Legend with a Demo

Warcave’s Black Legend is one of our most anticipated upcoming titles and to give us a little bit of a taste of the full game, the developers have released a new free demo for everyone to experience Black Legend before its full release. This is the same free Black Legend demo that was available to players during the Steam Game Festival: Autumn Edition.

The demo gives everyone a chance to experience the first hour of Black Legend and features some of the early classes, weapons, quests, and enemies of the game. Black Legend Creative Director and Lead Designer Menno van der Heijden said:

The reaction we had from strategy fans during the festival was amazing. Seeing fans of the genre dive into the game and experience this small slice of it for the first time was a huge morale boost to the studio. Between our community Discord and Steam, we’ve received a lot of great feedback about the game, but what we’ve been hearing most is ‘This game looks great, I wish I hadn’t missed out on the demo during the festival’ and the best way to fix that is to well, make it available to everyone.

In Black Legend, you will get to lead a custom squadron of mercenaries into the accursed city of Grant to aid a struggling resistance against a deadly cult of fanatics. You will find and rescue survivors, discover their stories, discover new equipment and classes for your team, and explore many locations in order to find a way to stop the city’s curse from spreading.

Key features of Black Legend include:

Strategy-Focused Gameplay: Approach each combat with a tactical focus, where unit placement, ability combos, and well-chosen attacks are key to survival. Black Legend focuses on old-school strategy vibes, but without the 95% percent chance of misses.
Explosive Combos: Mix up your ranged and melee combat by using alchemy for a wide array of explosive effects. Combine stacks of four different alchemic attacks to injure, poison, and debilitate your foes, but be warned, they will do the same to you.
Extensive Character Customization: Build your mercenary band with a wide array of classes, each with unique abilities. Improve each of your mercenaries with new weapons, armor, and trinkets, and create your own ability sets by equipping cross-class abilities.
Choose Your Difficulty: For those who wish to see the story, the path can be gentle. For those who wish for difficulty, even the slightest mistake will be greatly punished.
Historic Enemies: Black Legend fills the city of Grant with creatures from Belgian, Dutch, and German folklore like nekkers, Halewijn, Witte Wieven, and Old Red Eyes.
An Engaging Story: Dive into the narrative through environmental storytelling, colorful NPCs, and rich set pieces.
An Entire City to Explore: Free-exploration lets you investigate the many alleys and streets in the city of Grant. Different districts host a wide variety of architecture and environments — you never know where you’ll discover a hidden path, a treasure trove of new items, a hidden quest, or a recruitable character.
