What to Expect
You lead a band of adventurers in Deccaria battling a spreading corruption. The game is a scenario-driven campaign: Mission 1 introduces the Regicide system, while later missions add new enemies, dynamic challenges and powerful upgrades. Players must cooperate through hand management and push-your-luck decisions to survive and uncover the mystery.
Who Is This Game For?
Regicide Legacy is aimed at experienced players who enjoy cooperative campaigns; it's recommended for ages 12 and up. The Legacy campaign requires commitment across multiple sessions. New players can use Mission 1 as an entry point, but prior experience with campaign or cooperative games is helpful.
How It Works
Regicide Legacy blends Cooperative Game mechanics with Hand Management, Push Your Luck and Legacy Campaign play. Groups work together to complete scenario objectives, with Communication Limits affecting how much players can share. The game supports Solo/Solitaire play and scales from 1 to 4 players. Over the campaign you unlock new classes, recruits and items that change future sessions.
What Makes It Special
The game continues the Regicide series and uses Legacy mechanics to create persistent change; designers Paul Abrahams, Luke Badger and Andy Richdale return for this entry. Regicide Legacy was a 2025 nominee for Golden Geek Best Cooperative Game. The persistent campaign progression differentiates it from one-off co-op titles.
