Game Overview
Legionwood is a console style RPG made using RPG Maker VX. Legionwood is my attempt at creating a nostaligic and familiar RPG experience reminiscent of the classics of the early 90's such as Breath Of Fire and Crono Trigger.
Legionwood features a massive world filled with adventures and side quests, and is expected to contain over 20 hours of gameplay and five story driven chapters.
While it isn't revolutionary and contains gameplay that is for the most part bog standard RPG fare, Legionwood is designed to be that way; familiar and fun for RPG fans looking for a casual game to play.

Storyline
The world of Legionwood. Once upon a time, it was prosperous and full of technological
wonders. About three thousand years ago, a mysterious phenomena demolished most of
mankind's cities, and as a species, they had to start again. This much, archaeologists and
scholars know from the ancient ruins of technological cities and fortresses dotted throughout
the most barren parts of Legionwood's surface.
After at least two millennia had passed, mankind had begun to re-establish itself as the
planet's dominant species. Major inventions were being rediscovered, and technological
development had finally reached a medieval period. It was at this time when everything began
to go wrong. Legionwood has always had war, but suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere began
a furious and unpredictable world war that raged for years and devastated cities and nations
worldwide. This terrible conflict, known as the Great War, ended as suddenly as it began, with
no mention of its cause or conclusion to the public, and mankind began to pick up the pieces.
Now, one thousand years have passed since the Great War came to an end. Since that
terrible time, makeshift peace treaties have ensured there have been only minor conflicts over
the last centuries, but once again technology is on the rise, and half truths and legends about
the Great War and its origins are prevalent in popular culture.
Each country, empire and kingdom fears its neighbours, and only reluctantly are peace ties
held in place. In a last ditched effort to try and maintain some sort of peace between the rival
kingdoms of Charn and Trevelle, the king of Charn has decided to hold a celebration and
festival to honor his new daughter's birth. Everybody in attendance is expecting a good time,
but a key figure linked to Legionwood's dark past of conflict and death has been biding his
time, and has decided that now is the perfect time to stage a new Great War and political
upheaval.

Completion Status
The latest version of the game is version 3.21, which contains the first three chapters and approximately 10 hours of gameplay.
This version is not compatible with save games made with the previous version (3.1), due to the new version of Tankentai's battle system which has been implemented.

Game Features
- A character driven story full of twists, turns and red herrings, and an intended gameplay time of
around 20 hours.

- 6 playable characters, each one with a distinct personality, which you can mold into your own
custom character classes to suit your combat style.

- Turn based combat with an emphasis on tough opponents and using skills, rather than
mashing "attack" over and over. Think, don't button mash!

- A custom soundtrack, composed entirely of non comercial game music, some exclusive
to Legionwood.

- Collect, raise and summon 6 elemental spirits to aid you in battle! Summon level up, learn skills
and fight just like your party members!

- Innovative Ability Point system by KGC allows you to choose which bonuses you gain in level ups,
so you're free to decide which role your characters fill in your battle plan.
