Hey all, haven't posted about this much I've been pretty heads down on it the last year. My steam short description: "The Ninth Legion is a RTS narrative strategy game, set during the fateful final campaign the LEGIO IX HISPANA, Rome's famous missing legion."

Hoping to have a small demo available for Next Fest in October.

This video was from a build last week testing snowfall/accumulation and the grass trample system with it. There's still a ton to be done before this is anywhere close to release so I don't want to give any dates. I've mostly posted a little bit on TikTok and that's pretty much it. It's been a passion project for a while. You can follow on TikTok if interested there are some more videos of the game there on my page or just check out the Steam page.

Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4605900/The_Ninth_Legion/

TikTok link is on my profile.

If you feel kind enough to playtest for me (especially if i miss the Next Fest deadline) please message me or follow the progress etc so i can share when the playtest is live on Steam.

Hello! I’ve been toiling away on The Ninth Legion for some time. As the title said it’s a narrative based rts with a folk horror twinge to it.

The gameplay is a mix of rts style battles and between battle camp scenes that focus cohort social and rank dynamics. The campaign will track the Ninth as they journey North then further North and then… :D

I don’t have a demo for you yet or a release date. Best I can give is it’ll be done when it feels good to play? I’m internally aiming for the October Steam fest to have a short demo and maybe let people loose in the Test Arena I have which I use to test unit balance and combat feel etc.

I will post some updates every now and again to TikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@theninthlegion8?_r=1&_t=ZP-95s82P1Xnax

I know that platform is not for everyone I apologize if that’s a bummer. I don’t really do X. I’ll have the Steam page up before long too. Anyway, if this kind of thing looks or sounds fun to you then cheers (and if not cheers too!) it’s been fun making it… so far *sweats*
