14 DAY TRIAL // After revealing everything there is to know about Black Legend, Belgian studio Warcave finally announced when we'll be able to play its upcoming turn-based strategy RPG. If PC is your favorite gaming platform, you'll be able to play Black Legend starting March 25, Warcave announced earlier today.
The game features 15 playable classes that we already talked about, as well as monsters inspired by Belgian, Dutch, and German folklore. Also, let's not forget that Black Legend introduces a pretty complex alchemy battle system meant to help players overcome the biggest challenges.
In Black Legend, players can unlock a class by collecting all the equipment required for that class through exploration or battle. More importantly, unlocked skills can be used by characters, no matter their class, allowing players to create a wide range of cross-class builds to experiment with.
As the game progresses, players will be able to change their team members to one of 15 different classes that are unlocked throughout their adventures. With classes ranging from Alchemist to Sharp Shooter, there are options for all kinds of preferred strategy styles.
Those who love the turn-based strategy genre will be happy to know that Black Legend does away with the 95 percent chance misses while retaining its focus on old-school strategy gameplay. Thanks to the alchemy system in the game, players can combine their ranged and melee combat for a wide array of explosive effects. At the same time, combining stacks of four different alchemic attacks will allow players to injure, poison, and debilitate enemies.
The fine folks at Warcave promise that Black Legend will offer an engaging story featuring colorful NPCs and rich set pieces. The game also includes extensive character customization that lets players build their mercenary band with a wide array of classes, each with unique abilities.
Finally, Black Legend lets players choose their preferred difficulty, so if you just want to get a taste of the story, you can choose an easier difficulty, while those looking for a challenge can go for a higher level of difficulty where even the slightest mistake will be greatly punished.
