NEW YORK - May 5, 2010 - Paradox Interactive today confirmed a release date of May 21, 2010 for Legio, the upcoming turn-based PC strategy game by indie game developer Ice Game Studios. Playable for up two players, the game is a mix between chess and a turn-based war game and takes place in a mythical fantasy world where magicians, warriors and monsters battle for domination. Legio will be available via digital download for $9.99/€9.99.

Both players control an equal army of characters with the goal of eliminating the other player's army.
