Fallen Legion

Game Overview

Fallen Legion: Flames of Rebellion for the PS Vita puts players in the boots of Legatus Laendur, a brilliant military commander leading a coup against the corrupt ruling government of the Fenumian Empire. Unlike traditional turn-based JRPGs, combat unfolds in real-time as your main hero commands up to three spectral warriors known as Exemplars. Each face button on the PlayStation Vita maps directly to an individual character's attack, requiring you to manage active action points (AP), execute tight combo chains, and time defensive parries against incoming enemy assaults. Quick-fire moral choices pop up dynamically during missions, altering battlefield buffs, shifting story outcomes, and forcing split-second strategic decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

How does Flames of Rebellion differ from Sins of an Empire?

How do the combat controls work on the PlayStation Vita?
