About the game
Regicide Legacy is a cooperative campaign game and follow-up to the card game Regicide, spanning twelve linked missions of escalating difficulty. Players band together as members of the Golden Blade Syndicate to battle corrupted royalty and uncover the mystery behind a spreading blight across the world of Deccaria. Each mission introduces new enemies, twists, and permanent upgrades, letting players recruit adventurers and unlock new classes as the legacy campaign unfolds. Hand management and push-your-luck combat carry over from the original Regicide system, now wrapped in a persistent, evolving story. It supports solo play as well as full four-player co-op sessions.
Hobbli's Notes
Regicide Legacy takes the elegant, brutal card-combat of the original Regicide and gives it real narrative stakes through legacy progression. The twelve-mission campaign structure rewards groups willing to commit to playing through consistently, and the escalating challenge keeps things tense throughout. Because it's a legacy game, components get permanently altered, so it's best suited to a stable group or dedicated solo player rather than casual drop-in sessions. Fans of the original Regicide should find this a satisfying, higher-stakes evolution of the system.
What we like
- Legacy campaign structure adds lasting narrative stakes to the Regicide system.
- Twelve varied missions keep enemy encounters and challenges fresh.
- Playable solo or cooperatively with up to four players.
- Persistent recruitment and unlocks reward long-term investment.
Keep in mind
- Legacy components mean the game can't easily be replayed once completed.
- Twelve-mission commitment isn't ideal for casual or drop-in groups.
- Requires familiarity with or willingness to learn the original Regicide system.
Who it's for
