Description

A terrible corruption has spread over the world of Deccaria. The royalty have succumbed to its maddening haze. The Golden Blade Syndicate (a 40-strong band of professional adventurers) has been called upon by the High Crown Council to solve the mystery of this growing blight.

Regicide Legacy is the follow-up to 2020's Regicide. The challenging co-op trend continues in this campaign game spread over 12 perilous missions. Players will need to work together to beat each mission, solving the mystery of corruption along the way.

Mission 1 familiarises the players with Regicide, allowing new players to come to grips with the system, but subsequent missions bring new enemies, dynamic challenges and powerful upgrades.

Recruit new adventurers to the party, access all-new classes and unlock powerful items that will change the way you play the game.

But be warned! The faint of heart need not apply. Only those brave enough to take on brutal beasts and perilous opponents should venture into the world of Regicide Legacy!

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • Animal companions and the new relic — Beasts copy paired card strengths and can be used in conjunction with a relic to boost attacks and provide healing/card draw.
  • Beast companions and synergy — Beasts can copy strengths and enable powerful combo plays when paired with other cards, enabling dynamic strategies.
  • Blocking and damage calculation — Damage is calculated from the sum of cards played; blocking reduces damage, with some abilities ignoring immunities in co-op.
  • Combat: Damage Based — Combat progresses through phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3 with escalating difficulty and new enemy rules.
  • Corrupted sleeves — Corrupted cards trigger even if an enemy is immune; you must banish the top card of the reserve deck as part of resolution.
  • deck manipulation — Mage abilities draw multiple cards equal to their value to boost the attack, after which those cards are banished from play.
  • Kinfolk Flute and kinfolk attacks — You can place 2, 3, 4, or 5 from your hand into a kinfolk area (under specific conditions) and when you attack, you can grab cards from this area to augment your attack.
  • Mage draw and banish — Mage abilities draw multiple cards equal to their value to boost the attack, after which those cards are banished from play.
  • phase-based combat — Combat progresses through phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3 with escalating difficulty and new enemy rules.
  • Reserve deck management — Defeated enemies go to discard or top of reserve deck; mages and corruption interact with banishment and reshuffling to affect future draws.
  • Top of discard pile strengthens enemies — When discarding to attack, the top card of the discard pile adds its strength to the enemy's attack value.
