The Trojan War may be over, but peace has not lasted long for the city of Ithaca. An endless horde of monsters is at the gates, and a new hero must rise. And they’ll do it in Legendary Hoplite as it releases on Xbox.
Legendary Hoplite, a unique blend of Action RPG and Tower Defense, has marched onto Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S today.
Developed by TripleBricksGames and published by Ravenage Games, this mythological adventure challenges you to defend your homeland for £12.49.
Forget what you know about static tower defense games. In Legendary Hoplite, you are on the front lines, directly engaging the enemy while also commanding your armies.
A Hero Forged in Myth, A City Under Siege
The story begins in the aftermath of the Trojan War. The legendary Odysseus, king of Ithaca, has returned, but a tragic and unexpected event leads to his death, revealing a critical secret that brings the legions of the dead and monsters from across the region to Ithaca’s gates.
You play as Dio, a young commander inspired by the old heroes of Greek mythos like Achilles and Hector. With no one else left to stand against the tide of darkness, you must lead the defense, slay thousands of monsters, and fight for the very fate of mankind.
A War on Two Fronts: Action and Strategy Combined
Legendary Hoplite features a compelling gameplay loop that will test both your reflexes and your tactical mind. This is a war fought on two fronts.
You will engage in direct Action RPG combat, taking personal control of Dio on the battlefield to wield spears, swords, and shields, slaying mythological beasts and legendary tribes up close. However, this isn’t a solo mission.
You must simultaneously engage in strategic Tower Defense, leading your entire army by arranging your troops, thinking of the right formations, and devising tactics to face down different enemy waves and repel the attacks of mighty monsters trying to breach your city’s gate.
The Spoils of War: Progression & Godlike Power
To stand against the impetuous primordial strength of legendary bosses and an ever-stronger horde, you’ll need to grow in power. Legendary Hoplite offers deep RPG progression systems to ensure you’re up to the task. The mundane weapons of the world won’t be enough; you’ll need to get the best gear by finding and equipping weapons with deadly power and powerful artifacts blessed by the Gods themselves. Your troops aren’t just cannon fodder either; you must upgrade your army through the spoils of battle to keep pace with the evolving and strengthening enemy threats.
To tie it all together, you can craft your own unique build using a classic skill tree upgrade system, which, when combined with sets of powerful war techniques, provides immense versatility and allows you to become a truly formidable adversary for your enemies.
