Legacy Steel & Sorcery is developed by Notorious Studios, a team with experience from World of Warcraft. The game aims to blend MMO-style adventuring with extraction mechanics and action combat. You start sessions in an open, instanced world and can choose different classes and weapons.

The game can be played solo or in teams of up to three people. Although the focus is on PvP, PvE elements inspired by an MMO-style world are also included. Combat combines Soulslike action mechanics with MMORPG-style abilities.

At launch, the Early Access version will feature two maps: The Greenwood, a large primary zone, and a tutorial area. You can choose from four different classes, each with its set of unlockable abilities, and level them up to level 20.

There are 11 unique weapon types and over 800 loot items. A campaign questline, seasonal content, and a major boss, Morg’thog, The Cruel, are also part of the game.

The game includes MMO-inspired crafting, allowing you to build your own lodge with useful furnishings. You can cook meals for buffs, craft items, and even offer trophies from defeated enemies to gain reputation. Rested experience can also be earned by using a bed in the lodge, accumulating even while offline.

Since the game is not free-to-play, purchases from the base game and optional supporter packs are funding its ongoing development. The roadmap for the next 14 months includes new classes like the Wizard and the Paladin, additional maps, guild halls, and more customization options.
