About

In “ENDLESS Legend II”, you’ll embark on an epic fantasy journey as leader of diverse factions, constructing massive empires and engaging in vast, interplanetary conflicts on a dynamic ocean world teetering on the edge of oblivion. As catastrophic events reshape the natural order, the planet itself will continuously transform, offering fresh avenues for exploration and conquest to the adventurous. Build expansive cities to extend your influence and bolster your economy, strategize and command troops in tactical, turn-based battles to crush your adversaries, and venture into the unknown to unearth the enigmatic secrets hidden within the planet’s core.

Lead Disparate Factions

In ENDLESS Legend II, you’ll encounter a variety of factions, each with its own unique backstory, beliefs, and capabilities. These range from honorable star-born warriors to complex, hive-minded entities focused on survival and reproduction. Each faction brings something distinct to the table, whether in combat, economics, empire development, or diplomacy. As a player, you’ll need to understand these strengths and weaknesses to devise strategies tailored for each faction, creating your own unique gameplay experience.

  • The choice of faction will influence every aspect of the game. Will you prefer to benefit from a constant state of fighting, untethered by the need to justify your wars, spawning additional warriors with each victorious battle to grow endlessly in strength? Or will you choose to benefit from cohabitation and cooperation, spreading tendrils of influence throughout the world to build a network of allies, leveraging relationships with the minor factions of the planet to further enrich your empire? Learn what makes each faction distinct and use it to your advantage whether you’re leading them, or looking to destroy them.
  • Military doctrine varies greatly between the factions, providing unique opportunities for a capable commander to gain an advantage over their foe, even when out of combat. Whether you’re building massive fortifications as the Kin of Sheredyn to defend your cities, establishing connections to powerful weapons and support systems waiting in orbit, or you’re investing in the spread of coral that allows the units of spiritualist Aspects to support themselves outside of friendly territory, know your enemy and know yourself to gain the upper hand in any conflict.
  • Either auto-resolve combat or take direct control of individual units within your armies when battle begins, using the surrounding terrain to your advantage as you seek out chokepoints, cover, and the high ground. Apart from having faction-specific units, traits, weapons, and attributes, each faction also features special battlefield abilities that can turn the tide of battle if properly utilized. Where one faction might work best with a patient commander, able to meticulously maneuver troops to secure powerful adjacency bonuses, another might rely on force of numbers and overwhelming strength.
  • Recruit heroes and watch them grow over time as they gain new traits to bolster their abilities, build relationships that provide them with various boons, and acquire equipment useful both in and out of battle. Powerful commanders, properly trained and armed, can turn the tide of entire wars when wisely utilized.

Reign in an Evolving World

Empires will grow and decline based on their capacity to adjust to a shifting global landscape. Beginning with a modest initial city, expand according to your faction’s distinct advantages and disadvantages while navigating regular monsoons and tidefalls. Establish districts around your cities’ central hubs, capitalize on scattered strategic and luxury resources across the world, and improve your technological know-how and industrial prowess.

  • Cataclysmic tidefalls will expose new opportunities and threats as the oceans recede to unveil new land ripe for expansion. While your existing territory will remain unscathed, the newly revealed terrain from the retreating oceans will open up new avenues of approach for you and your enemies, alongside new resources to exploit and new anomalies to explore. While this can fundamentally change the strategic value of various locations as time goes on, a wise leader will plan for the inevitable—will you prepare to expand into new lands as soon as a tidefall occurs, or focus on shoring up your defenses where you anticipate new landbridges to appear?
  • Plan the development of your cities to focus on population growth, industrialization, and commerce, or prioritize their contribution to the sciences, your empire’s influence, and your military might— the choice is yours based on the needs of your burgeoning empire. Establish districts that provide fortifications or further the production of various resources, take advantage of adjacency and terrain bonuses, and pursue technological advancements that allow you to upgrade established districts or unlock entirely new options. Will you patiently seek out ideal locations to establish long-term economic hubs and military strongholds, or will you spread rapidly to secure new lands and increased productivity ahead of your enemies?
  • The lands around you are teeming with both opportunity and danger alike. Crush the weaker minor factions littered around the world to pillage their resources, or instead cultivate friendly relations and have them join your growing empire, incorporating their distinctive units and heroes to further strengthen your people. Explore ancient ruins and strange anomalies, braving the dangers of the unknown to enrich your lands and gain powerful artifacts to wield against your enemies.

Write Your Own Legend

Beneath the calm facade of an old ocean realm lies a profound enigma, in which an ancient force slumbers in the shadows. You can rule this planet through brutal warfare, achieve triumph through diplomacy and technological progress, engage in missions and face events that could reshape your strategy, or have your loyal champions unfold the narrative of your civilization—the decision is yours to make.

Which path will you choose: One of relentless domination or intricate construction? Diplomacy polished by experience, or a creature driven solely by instinct? Will you restore balance to the world, uncovering ancient tales and heroes, or will you reject your destiny and forge your own legendary journey?
