Legion TD was one of the most popular custom maps in Warcraft III, and it spawned a standalone game of the same name. Now, AutoAttack Games has announced its sequel Legion TD 2 hits full release, several years after its early access release.
Legion TD 2 hits full release roughly five years after its successful Kickstarter campaign, and is now available on Steam for $19.99. Alongside the full release is a developer AMA, where AutoAttack answered fans regarding the release.
“We still plan to add more content, fix bugs, balance, and improve all aspects of the game just as we’ve done throughout Early Access,” the studio said in a reply to a fan. “We’re in this for the long haul.”
Despite only being available in its full release for a little over a week, the combined full release and early access user reviews have totaled nearly 4,500 reviews with over 3,500 of the reviews being overwhelmingly positive.
Historically, Legion TD was second in popularity only to the iconic DOTA, or Defense of the Ancients, and the original two developers of Legion TD only added two more developers for its sequel. A sequel to DOTA was also released years back, DOTA 2, and continues to get new content and community events to this day.
Here’s a new trailer for the full release:
Here’s a rundown on the game:
Defend your lane
Endless waves of enemies threaten your king. Assemble your army from over 100 unique fighters, each with its own strengths and abilities. Empower your defenses with auras and spells, and change the tides of battle by unleashing powerful mercenary attacks. How many waves can you last before your defenses collapse and your king falls? Outwit and break your opponents before they break you.
Choose your playstyle
Build defensively to hold the line against swarms of enemies, play offensively to smash through your opponents’ fighters, or prioritize economy to scale into the late game and become an unbreakable juggernaut. Every game requires adaptation, but play to your strengths to achieve victory.
Master your legions
Choose from 8 unique legions and over 100 fighters. Select fighters from each legion for 12 million possible combinations. Some fighters secure you strategic advantages in the early game. Others facilitate powerful late game synergies.
