Our take on PERIMETER: Legate Edition
Terrain serves several purposes at once: reshaping it can yield energy, become an offensive tool, or strengthen defenses, while geological processes and Scourge also affect the battlefield.
What is PERIMETER: Legate Edition?
PERIMETER: Legate Edition is a real-time strategy game set across the Chains of Worlds.
Players take the role of Legates, overseeing base development and leading battles for different factions. Terrain can be reshaped to gather energy, attack enemies, and strengthen defenses, while hostile geological activity and Scourge entities pose threats. The campaign follows different Legates and factions across centuries, presenting several perspectives on the Psychosphere’s history. This edition includes the “Emperor’s Testament” add-on and an English campaign closer to the Russian original; that campaign has no English voice-over. A mod can restore the shorter English campaign with voice-over. The game also supports online multiplayer, including matches with more than four players on special maps, and custom mods.
