Summary
The year is 2231. Well, in the Legends of Pegasus it is. And also in the game a new, super power source has been discovered. This has enabled the human race not only to build massive spacecraft but also to pilot them to distant stars where, instead of conserving the natural environment, we've colonised the planets instead.
This colonisation has included terraforming these new worlds. Unlike many other Sci-Fi stories, this has brought the human race together to work as one. However, this is a strategy/combat title, so this harmony can't last and the colonies soon start to seek their freedoms from the distant power-based on Earth.
An alien race also joins in, sharing its technology with the all and bringing peace once again until... the alien race turns on Humanity! Basically, only one small human fleet (which escaped via a wormhole) remains. The player must ensure its safety.
In terms of play, Legends of Pegasus is termed as a “classically styled 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate)” strategy game where in the player must rebuild humankind by more colonisation. This mean combat due to the need to protect colonists from those aliens. It also means developing new technology and deploying it.
The game has a Campaign mode for single-player that enables gamers to meet and fight other Humans as well as the alien X’or and Arthrox.
However, there is also Skirmish mode – or a set of quick scenarios. These complement the multiplayer modes over both the Internet and local area networks (LANs).
