Forgotten Legions Coming Soon To DSiWare
Posted by Andy Green
Hopefully it won't be forgettable
Cypronia has announced that Forgotten Legions, its latest DSiWare title, is finished and will soon be available to download soon on DSiWare and the 3DS eShop.
Aimed at experienced gamers, Forgotten Legions is a strategy game featuring a wide range of characters and a fair sized campaign. The upcoming release uses real-time side-scrolling RPG elements; players will have a choice of two armies, 18 units and 30 campaign missions.
There's also an Endless Mode that will put players to the test, and those hitting hefty high-scores will be able to record their achievements on an online leaderboard.
Cypriona has made a few DSiWare titles in the past, most notably Cake Ninja and the sequels that followed. Given the standard of these games, we're not really sure what to expect from this one.
There's no release date yet for Forgotten Legions but the developer says it'll be released soon. Cypronia has also released a trailer for the game, which features exciting stuff like a man shaking his fist at a city - you can view that below.
What do you think to this new title? As ever, let us know in the comments section below.

Won't be expecting anything, but if it turns out to be decent enough I'll probably give it a whirl.

Now this is a pretty silly trailer with some real bad voice acting going on.

Feels like I woke up in 1997 and got a CD with demos from a PC magazine.

Looks like an old pc game, not much graphic improvements from Cake Ninja design, but it's dsiware, so "old graphic" style can be fine and even have a nostalgic feeling.
The story sounds to try to be epic, much different from Cake Ninja, but not sure I like it so far.
NOW... if graphics and story will be (in case) the only matters with this game then that would be still fine as long as the gameplay is great and makes the game enjoyable... ack, a great gameplay is enough for make a game amazing!!!
But honestly in this case the gameplay is the part I'm most worried about >O>;

There was not a single second of actual gameplay footage in that video so at this time I similarly have no useful or worthwhile impressions of this new game.

Looks like an N64/PS1/Saturn era game. Or PC, whatever. An old 90s CD-Rom game that I got out of a cereal box.

Riiiiiight!!!! Extremely useless trailer. With no gameplay footage to be seen, it makes me think they don't want us to see the it.

Um, you guys do remember that the DS only has about the graphical power of a 32/64 bit system, don't you?

I tend to not download a game when all they show is a trailer with no gameplay in that trailer. As someone said earlier it's really not a trailer its the opening scene. I will say pretty impressive opening scene for a DsiWare game

Hopefully Nintendolife will rate this one soon since the dev doesn't want to show us any screenshots or gameplay video of the game.
