Montreal, Quebec (October 4, 2005) - Strategy First announced today
that Slitherine Software’s Legion Arena has officially gone gold.
“There’s something about classic combat that always draws wargamers to this
time period,” said Jay Podilchuk, Executive Producer at Strategy First.
“Slitherine Software has succeeded in bringing the real experience of commanding
these epic legions to wargamers everywhere.”
“In Legion Arena we have really focused on combat and battle tactics. There
are over 100 missions and you will learn every trick in the book as you guide
your fledgling army through a series of historical campaigns,” said J.D. McNeil,
Director at Slitherine Software. “We have gone through great pains to make sure
everything is as accurate as possible, but we never compromise on gameplay.”
From Strategy First:
“Legion Arena” is a role playing strategy game created on a massive scale,
providing gamers with more than just the pure taste of battle. Set during the
period of the Roman Republic, players take command of a band of simple peasant
warriors, and train them into a formidable fighting force. With each victorious
battle, gamers can reap the rewards of fame, fortune, and experience, along with
the opportunity to “level up” their units. Troops will learn hundreds of new
skills through their field experience, and will progressively upgrade their
abilities with each new combat situation they face. Gamers can play as the Roman
Empire and Celtic Clans through over a hundred scenarios, and must use carefully
calculated strategies in an attempt to crush their enemies on the front
line—fighting for the pride and glory of the battlefield!
“Legion Arena” will be available for purchase at all major retailers this
fall at a suggested retail price of $39.99.
