Zodiac Legion: A tactical RPG with kingdom building elements
Posted: February 18th, 2023, 23:07
Hey and thanks for the warm welcome here! I have been working on Zodiac Legion for quite some time now.
Zodiac Legion is a turnbased tactical RPG, in which you take command of an arcane chivalric order in a feudal world on the eve of a magic reawakening. As the commander of the order, your duty is to lead your knights in daring dungeon raids to recover magic knowledge, or harass the forces of your sorcerous enemies.
In between missions, you will develop your stronghold, rebuild your stronghold, and manage the research efforts of your order.
When the work began on the game, the initial vision was to bring the X-COM mix of tactics and strategic geoscape into a fantasy setting, along with its high lethality. The game is also inspired by OG Chaos Gate and various tabletop dungeon crawlers, like Warhammer Quest or Descent (and some parts of the system were inspired by Blood Bowl because I really love the game).
The game features fully destructible dungeons (with the proper research):
But you can also create some walls if your prefer.
The game will also feature extensive character armor customization, as we used a paperdolling system to assemble character sprites from various pieces.
The game is scheduled for early access release in Q4 2023.
