Command & Conquer: Legions

Command & Conquer: Legions is a mobile game and part of a well-known RTS series, which was originated in 1995 by Westwood Studios. It was developed and published by Level Infinite, a subsidiary of Tencent. The game is free-to-play and is licensed by Electronic Arts, who hold the rights to the C&C franchise.

Plot

Command & Conquer: Legions is set shortly after the Third Tiberium War in Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars from 2007. The AI known as CABAL (Computer Assisted Biologically Augmented Lifeform) is once again trying to wipe out humanity with its cyborg army. The conflict is beneficial to the Visitors, an alien race waiting for an opportunity to claim Earth's resources.

In other to survive and save their world, hostile human organizations - The Global Defense Initiative and the Brotherhood of Nod - must join forces. Their alliance is shaky though, and their old conflicts can flare up again at any point.

Mechanics

Command & Conquer: Legions is an online game without a story campaign. Players are experienced commanders accompanied by iconic heroes and villains, factions and units from the C&C series, all of whom must band together to protect humanity. The alliance soon crumbles though, as once we gain an advantage against CABAL's forces, we can also start conquering other cities and regions.

This means Command & Conquer: Legions supports both PvE and PvP. The gameplay follows the typical RTS mechanics. The player must gather tiberium to develop technologically, build bases, outposts, increase their field of vision and secure supply lines.

Technical aspects

Gameplay-wise, Command & Conquer: Legions has been adapted to mobile devices. The game sessions are relatively short, while the controls were made with touch screens in mind.
