Forgotten Legends : The Worm Emperor is a high fantasy game set in the magical world of Aiine. Your goal is to prepare a foothold into an uncharted territory and sustain your war effort. Find and defeat the Prince of Despair, his majesty, the Worm Emperor, by breaking the three magic seals which protect his fortress and challenge him to a deadly duel.
Lured by the promise of earthly riches and eternal knowledge in an uncharted region of the realm, the party of Heroes must battle chimeric creatures, flesh and dark thoughts mingled together by magic and molded into fierce monsters born from the depths of a dreadful mind, complete trials which will reveal the very fabric of their soul, fight, scavenge, loot and trade to survive the journey and ultimately face the abominable overlord, the Master of Lies and Prince of Despair, his majesty, the Worm Emperor.
Replayability : The core of the game is entirely player driven. Heroes decide (individually or as a group) where the game is heading, from fighting an epic monster down to trading and building new dwellings in the castle they settled in. Many paths lead to victory.
Automa System: You move, his majesty, the Worm Emperor and his acolytes are moving as well. The enemy army is already on the march to conquer the regions and consolidate the domain of despair. Sooner or later, your armies will meet.
Castles and Outposts: A game within a game. You may start the adventure from any sub-region on the outskirts of the adventure map. Once settled in, you can build new dwellings, trade in the market for items, recruit creatures, complete puzzles and more.
Unique Adventure Map: Divided into three major regions and a fourth special inner region (controlled by the Worm Emperor) and counting more than 65 independent sub-regions the party of Heroes will have the freedom to explore a uniquely designed map with one-of-a-kind characteristics. Conquer cities, acquire resources, uncover mysteries and secret locations.
Modular Battlefield: Constantly changing its configuration depending on the sub-region you are exploring. The setup is randomly created each time your party clashes with a monster or a group of monsters. Terrain obstacles, power-up spots or de-buffs areas will hinder you or help you win the day.
