Legacy's Allure Review — Chess With Cards
Shelfside reviews a card based wargame played on a hexagonal battlefield, Legacy's Allure! Combining chess gameplay with traditional card game design like attack, health, and keywords, 2 players will fight over the win condition focused around controlling the center hex. With each unit having their own unique stats, abilities, and keywords, gameplay becomes highly tactical, so developing strategies in both card selection and turn-by-turn actions becomes paramount when outplaying your opponent in this zero luck card game. Building your army and positioning it well when there's so many mechanics at play here culminates into a design that's as deep as it's thoughtful. However, this is just a demo, and we'll still need to see the final product after the game's kickstarter campaign.
