As players journey through the five mystical, though tumultuous, zones of Legendaria, they set out to unravel the secrets that surround the mysterious Sunstones. Along with detailed landscapes that span snow covered mountains and deadly desert oases, Legendary Wars presents a rich, varied set of arcade mini-games and three unlockable game modes. The story is quickly immersive, and the vibrant art style provides even the most casual gamers with a compelling world to explore.

Throughout over 50 stages, the game introduces an assortment of playable characters, from noble Elven Archers to brash Magical Unicorns. Each unit has upgradable stats, legendary armor to obtain, and unique combat abilities. Players pit these champions against hordes of Netherworld creatures and assorted bosses that range from massive frost-breathing dragons, to rabies-infected werewolves.

Players mine resources and recruit units to send into the fray along 3 lanes of battle. Units can be independently directed to change lanes, advance, retreat, stand guard, or use combat abilities to overwhelm the enemy. Gems collected in battle can then be used to fortify defenses, bolster resource production, and upgrade units.
