BATTALION: Legacy is a first-person shooter focused on multiplayer battles. The game is made with an emphasis on dynamic battles of infantry units. The gameplay is arcade-like, but seasoned with well-recreated weapons and locations from the Second World War.
The game focuses solely on the user's skills. There is no special ability or development system to unlock better skills and items. Success rewards are in the form of visual accessories, such as weapon skins or the ability to write your own name on the butt of a rifle. However, none of these additions affect the combat capabilities of the controlled character in any way.
The cards are based on an authentic World War II battlefield. Battles are taking place, among other things, on the streets of the French town of Carentan or in the forest near Bastogne. Before developing the levels, the authors traveled to the respective real-life locations and collected source materials and photographs, which ensure that each location is characterized by a high level of realism. The game offers classic fun modes such as Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and Domination. To this, the authors added the Wartide cyber-sports mode, modeled after the game Counter-Strike. There are economic aspects associated with the limited choice of specific types of weapons. It is also possible to set up private dedicated servers and play over a local network. The musical background is made in the style of those times, it is serious and heavy.
