An arena survival game with a top-down camera. I Am Legion: Stand Survivors is about fighting hordes of enemies on the arenas and the unique selling point is controlling a character surrounded by up to 8 titular stands (guards). They can also have their own skills and archetypes, as well as take active part in combat.

Gameplay
Graphics

I Am Legion: Stand Survivors is an arena survival type production, combining elements of hack'n'slash, roguelike, and survival, reminiscent of such productions as Vampire Survivors, Brotato or Halls of Torment. The project was backed by the independent JA Game Studios.

Gameplay

In I Am Legion: Stand Survivors the action is viewed from a top-down perspective. Similar to most other games of this type, the gameplay takes place in arenas, and its mainstay is the elimination of hordes of enemies.

Stands

The described game stands out among other representatives of the genre due to the titular "stands". We are talking about the guards surrounding our character, of which there can be a maximum of eight. Similar to the characters controlled by us, they represent different specializations and differ from each other in terms of attributes.

Among the hundreds of these characters, we can find both classic "tanks" taking most of the damage, as well as melee fighters, and mages bombarding enemies with a hail of projectiles. It's up to us what tactics we choose and how we use the opportunities offered to us by this system. We can either surround ourselves with a team of one type of guards, or opt for diversity.

Equipment and character development

During the game, we gradually collect better equipment, as well as resources that allow us to create new gear and improve what we already have. Equipment determines our fighting style (we can focus on attack, defense, or magic) and allows us to customize the character to individual preferences.

As we progress, we also develop individual characters, making them increasingly powerful over time.

Graphics

The two-dimensional graphics of I Am Legion: Stand Survivors were created using pixel art technique.
