Lost Legion

Lost Legion is a cancelled PC game by ZZICT Entertainment. It was to be a futuristic sci-fi FPS squad game.

Plot
In the 25th century, mankind has found and used hyper gates left behind by advanced species. Now humanity has spread far and wide throughout the cosmos. All was peaceful, until Cervati ruins were found on the planet Iridius.

The Cervati were fighting the Yan’Naar in a long war. The Cervati created the Harati, a biological weapon. The Harati had been lying dormant for a tousand years, until our curiosity caused it to revive.

You were to play as the human taskforce sent to Iridius secure the area. This is the Colonial Systems Military, as part of Operation: Glorious Day. Objective: kill the aliens. Your squad will have up to 5 soldiers.

Gameplay
The AI in the game was spoken of being advanced. Your squad-mates wouldn't just stand there and take damage, they would take cover. The Harati would also adapt to your moves, rethinking how you fight them.

The levels were huge expanses of varied environment. The land can be formed by your tech to create hills and trenches for strategic positioning.

There was to be over 20 missions. Weapons would range from the standard assault rifles to futuristic lasers to explosives.

Multiplayer had the usual deathmatch and capture the flag, but there was also Base Domination. This mode is capture control points, called bases. The winner is the one who dominates all the bases.

The game was mod-friendly and come with the Barracks editor, which was Java-based.

Cancellation
Lost Legion was cancelled in 2003 for reasons unknown. ZZICT went defunct in 2009, taking down their J2ME mobile phone games in development.
