Legion Was Here makes character creation the core of its spy gameplay

Legion Was Here is a spy game that requires players to impersonate targets by sculpting faces in a detailed character creator. Missions begin on an operating table with a dossier of facial details, and the demo forces players to work from partial photos and crude drawings. Success or failure in matching features determines whether the player survives, and the full game is due later this year.

• Players assume the role of a spy and must reproduce a target’s facial features (eyes, nose, hair, mouth, ears) to fool people who know the target.
• Each mission starts with a dossier while the player is on an operating table and demands precise visual matching rather than dialogue-based cover stories.
• The demo supplies only partial photos and rough drawings, creating significant guesswork for recreating a convincing likeness.
• Impersonation success directly affects survival—failure to create a convincing character can lead to the player’s death; full game scheduled for release later this year.
