Our take on Legacy of Defense
Combining action with deck-building creates tactical choices during each battle, but it also limits the experience to a focused loop of card selection, monster defense, stage clearing, and hero upgrades rather than a broader fantasy adventure.
What is Legacy of Defense?
Legacy of Defense is a fantasy game about stopping a monster invasion through side-scrolling action and deck-building.
Players collect cards, assemble a deck, and choose cards during combat to activate skills against incoming enemies. Battles provide experience that can be used to upgrade the hero’s skills. The adventure also includes recruitable allies and monsters with different abilities. Progression follows a series of stages, with increasingly powerful enemies leading to a final boss. The game presents its battles with 2D graphics and combines direct combat decisions with card selection and deck construction. Success depends on choosing skills and building a deck suited to the monsters encountered during each stage.
