It’s a spin-off from Crossfire, a game that, while it’s not quite as well known here, is ludicrously popular in Asia. But whereas the original Crossfire is an online FPS, Crossfire: Legion is a real-time strategy game, playable solo as well as online.
We went hands-on with it back in January, and noted that it offered “..classic RTS gameplay but with a high pace.” In other words, don’t expect long, drawn-out Total Annihilation style battles, but if you’ve got fond memories of Command and Conquer and its ilk you may get a big kick out of the mayhem.

Black list, on the other hand, now has:
Finally, New Horizon get:
And that’s it. All the factions get some sort of aerial troop transport vehicle but the rest varies between factions. We do take issue with the definition of “long range” – to us, long rage, RTS wise, is annihilating an enemy from the other side of the map, having spent the last half hour building a “Big Bertha”. But, since Crossfire: Legion isn’t geared towards long games, we can live with that.
Crossfire: Legion enters Steam Early Access this May 24th, which is when you’ll be able to purchase it. It’ll launch with an A.I. skirmish mode, co-op, head-to-head and the first act of a fully-feature single-player mode. For now, you can wishlist it on Steam here.
