Strategy First and Slitherine Software today announced they have begun accepting applications for the open beta test for their upcoming strategy game Legion Arena. Follow this link and sign-up now - space is limited, so it’s first come, first served. In Legion Arena, a game set during the period of the Roman Republic, players take command of a band of simple peasant warriors and train them into a formidable fighting force. With each victorious battle, gamers can reap the rewards of fame, money and experience along with the opportunity to ‘level up’ their units. Troops will learn hundreds of new talents through their field experience, and will progressively upgrade their skills with each new combat they face. Gamers can play as the Roman Empire and Celtic Clans through over a hundred scenarios and must use calculated strategies in an attempt to crush their Roman enemies on the front line.
