- Classic means the game contains all main RTS components without considerable simplifications. There are workers. A player mines resources, construсts buildings, and controls units. No auto battles take place.
- Real-time implies online battles. There’s no asynchronous multiplayer. A player is in full control of every unit on the battlefield. It resembles Warcraft, Starcraft, and any other classic PC RTS game.
- Fantasy — the world in the game teems with magic, mystical creatures, and archetypal races, including humans, orcs, elves, etc.
- War Legends is for mobile devices only (Android- and iOS-based smartphones and tablets). There won’t be PC or console versions. In order to run the game on PC, an emulator will be needed.
- WarCraft-like design. It’s exactly what was intended. However, the game isn’t a new part, a sequel, fanfic, or a Warcraft clone. There’s no connection between these two game worlds at all. The plot and main characters differ drastically. Game mechanics are different, too. You may draw parallels with Warcraft. Phrases in the fashion of ‘mobile Warcraft and even not made by Blizzard’ will be just right. It’s not how we position ourselves, but you’re allowed to do so. Also, you may compare us with Blizzard’s Arclight Rumble game.

Experienced RTS players tend to marvel at playing an RTS game on a mobile or tablet since these devices can’t provide accurate controls.
However, they can. Practice makes perfect — after hours of tapping on a smartphone’s screen, you end up admitting such controls to be even handier than ordinary PC ones.
