A Legionary’s Life lets you play as a Roman soldier during the years of the Second Punic War and beyond. Rise up through the ranks and win prestigious awards or just focus on making it home in one piece; it’s up to you.

210 BCE. Long before Rome was the capital of a vast empire, it came very close to being wiped from history. As Hannibal’s army ravaged the Italic peninsula, Scipio set sail for Hispania in a desperate attempt to prevent reinforcements from joining the Carthaginian general and seal Rome’s fate…

In A Legionary’s Life you won’t be Scipio or Hannibal or any of the big names that went down in history! You’ll be a simple Roman conscript soldier, trying to win a name for yourself or just simply survive.

This is a single-player game with RPG elements, extensive usage of attribute and skill checks, a turn-based combat system involving many variables (including morale, reach, confined space and high ground) and a touch of roguelike features. Among them, permadeath. If you are unfamiliar with the term, it means you’ll have to start over if your character dies; but don’t worry, the game is designed to be replayable and you’ll see only a fraction of it in each run.
