Mezmer Games has announced Legio, a turn-based chess-style strategy game that resembles Heroes of Might & Magic for the PC.

The new gameplay movie showcases one of the main characters of Legio, the King, lurking around at night until he runs into an opponent slightly out of his own league, the Giant. The movie also displays the prominent gameplay elements of Legio. Each game starts with players setting up the game board and placing their battle units in position. In the actual battle, you can see how the different units move around, attack, and eventually die – all of it being performed differently by different characters. The movie clip also shows the timing element when attacking an enemy.

The game seems like an interesting digital download – you can visit the official site here.
