Fallen Legion+

Fallen Legion: Flames of Rebellion tells the same story… from a different point of view. This time, we assume the role of Legatus Laendur, a traitorous general who attempts to destroy the kingdom of Fenumia. The events of both games intertwine in key spots, creating a unique story, which has to be experienced on one’s own.

Mechanics

The action of Fallen Legion+ for PC is seen from a side-scrolling perspective (in 2D) that is reminiscent of classic beat-em’ups such as Golden Axe or Double Dragon. However, in opposition to the aforementioned titles, Fallen Legion is an action RPG with a combat system similar to the one encountered in Valkyrie Profile – the player has access to a few characters at the same time. Each of the available heroes is equipped with a wide range of useful abilities – using them is the main challenge of the game.

Action sequences are entwined with animated cut-scenes that develop the story of each game. Interestingly enough, the choices undertaken in the course of the cut-scenes unlock special cards that are utilized on the battlefield, offering various power-ups such as healing or resistance boosts.

Technical Aspects

Fallen Legion+ offers handdrawn visuals that are characteristic for their manga style (interestingly enough, the game was developed by a Western developer). Both heroes and backgrounds are colorful and richly animated.
