Legionbound

TLDR: the concept is cool but there's definitely not enough here to justify the price. UPDATE: 9 hours and the game is basically done. Nothing left to do. I started to like it, until I got here. Not changing the review until there's more content and the controller issue is addressed. 9 hours of staring at a screen and doing almost nothing does not warrant an improved review. TAKE NOTE: every positive review has less than 2 hours playtime. You'll think it's cool until you spend 3 hours and then realize this game should have been 3 bucks. INITIAL REVIEW: .5 hours in: what am i missing? it's called an auto battler, but it's just an idler with absolutely nothing special added. i had more fun with clicker heroes in the first half hour than this... what's worse is there's zero controller support, on a game that you control basically nothing. in this era of steam deck, that's a decision that vexes me...

I don't really know how to review this one. Like, [i]technically[/i] the game is what it says on the tin- there are class synergies, there is a party based RPG dynamic, there is some amount of choice you're making. But, this is an idle game through and through. Sure, you do make a one time decision on where to place a unit, but typically you aren't moving them once placed. Sure, when you're first starting to play you want to maximize aura buffs by centering heroes around someone, but that falls away pretty quickly once you develop meta progression and are just, well, [b]idling[/b]. Because that's what all the choices boil away to show in the end- that this is an idle game and the difference between selecting units, items, and placement compared to what the computer will do for you in the idle mode is really no different. A lot of the choices in the game are illusions of choice. Yeah, you want your defense units in the front and your squishies in the back. Duh. That's not really making a meaningful choice, that's just the fact that squishies will die if they get hit. And, yeah, you want to take X unit with Y unit because they synergize, and you can only get more powerful units (ascended units) if you syngerize them. None of this is really choice. Choice implies that there's a second option that is equally valid, and in this game there's none of that. You get the choice of what you want to focus on in the sense of excluding certain units from your team, but there's not really a huge amount of variability here. Do you want to focus on Dex, Str, or Mag units? Cool, focus on that type and then splash Def units for frontline shielding. There. That's the biggest choice you'll make. They all play relatively the same. You just pick the keystones from the meta progression that benefit the type of units you're focusing on and you're done. And you are done. I've found that the idle mode plays the game better than I can as it will instantly buy new units, which at the highest speed is the limiting factor. A boss suddenly kills two front liners? No biggie, the computer just bought two new units to replace them so the attacks don't start cascading into your backrow causing even more losses; for a person, by the time a message pops up alerting you of a dead unit, three more are already dead and now you're struggling to salvage what remains. There is an adventure mode, which is like a drafting rouglike? You can build areas that give you specific bonuses and give you the ability to purchase specific units, all while you climb up progressively more difficult waves of enemies to a final boss. I personally found it really tedious. What little enjoyment I got out of watching my team destroy wave after wave of enemies was dragged down by the constant line of "choices" and up-keeping you had to make after a few waves. It felt less like a rougelike and more like a very tedious idle game. And this is where I don't know how to review the game. It doesn't really succeed at being an auto-battler as your choices aren't that impactful. It doesn't really succeed as a rougelike either as each run will look nearly identical once you find your niche. And it doesn't really succeed as an idler as you do have to check on it somewhat frequently just to see if you've lost with zero interactability outside of that. After playing it for ten hours, I was bored. I had seen everything and wasn't truly that impressed or interested. Overall, the game does play well and, as far as I know, I didn't encounter any bugs- although, when the game is whipping past you at top speed, it's hard to say if a bug actually happens. I just can't recommend this- at least not at full price. I think for $4 it's worth a play, but anything more than that is not great. This is an idle game, an idle game that tries to cloak itself in something else, but still just an idle game. If I want to [i]not[/i] play a game, I'll just go knit while watching someone else play something.

very little strategy, not interactive

A very basic autobattler/idler with little progression. You'll be done playing in a day. Play Lootun if you want an autobattler with progression. There isn't a lot of tactics or thought to your progression. It's simply overwhelm by numbers. It also has some bugs that will ruin your playthru. After unlocking the end game "Infinite stats", I respeced and lost the ability to every get "Infinite stats" back. It lacks some UI quality of life settings.

Fun idle-like game. If you like the parts of Wizardry and Disgaea where class types evolve into new class unlocks then this is for you. Try Adventure mode, that's where the fun is. Start with a small pool of class types. Unlock more. Turns out your heroes have synergy. Evolve into a new class. That's the main drive. Honestly, this was just an idle game that I had on one of my monitors while I work. But I just kept playing.. Each new unlock felt fun. The devs understand progression. I had a whatever team for my first run, I just wanted to see what the game was like. Then I had a ninja, then I had a pirate, a drunken monk. Then... it said Ascension. What was this? I chose two random characters since my team was dying on a nightmare battle. A ninja and a spellsword type. It dragonball Z fused them into a flying ninja spellcaster thing. Freaking awesome.

玩法機制我覺得可以，就是內容較少。 等天賦都拿到，關卡全破後，玩幾次掛機就覺得有點無聊了。 大概可以玩６～８小時吧 然後後期平衡就有點沒這麼在意了 角色掛掉，根本沒時間給你慢慢練新的飛昇角色，直接雇傭還比較快。 結果導致飛昇這機制像笑話一樣 後期可玩性問題很大。 整體來說，給我一個晚上的小樂趣，至少沒讓我有特別不爽的感受 所以還是給推薦吧

Meh. Feels slapped together.

I have to say that I don't normally play auto battlers. This game has definitely changed the way I look at the genre for the better. Loads of different combination of heroes and groups. Screen shakes while crazy hits and magic attacks are happening making it feel even more exciting! Skill tree that allows you to choose which way you want to go. After each run you get enough points after each run to feel like you can really make a dent for the next run. I've played a lot of games and developers are sandbagging the intro and beginning levels holding back the player. This game doesn't do that. I feel like I have a chance every single run to go all the way. Major downfall is that every run will feel the same if you use the same strategy and group. No reason to mix it up unless you're chasing full completion in some runs.

Are you suffering from too much idle time in between games or life? Consider these symptoms: - You find yourself constantly waiting for respawn timers in other games. - Your friend said he was getting on 30 minutes ago and has in fact not got on. - You want to click 1 to 3 buttons, walk away from your PC and come back to find it still playing If you answered yes to any of these then Legionbound is right for you. Side effects include: - One more run addiction - Loss of focus on the main game you'd say you'd play while this is open - Loss of sleep figuring out the best synergy comps Buy the game. You won't be disappointed.
