Iron Maiden's Rock Band PvP

Carefully lay down your air guitar. The gods of rock need you.

In Legacy of the Beast, Iron Maiden’s famous undead mascot, Eddie, travels through space and time, retrieving fragments of his shattered soul. As he faces off against many a stranger in a strange land, you’re called on to help.

A turn-based battler with an enviable backing track, the game has you building up a team of fighters to assist the wailing heavy-metal hero in endless dustups that would have others running to the hills.

Sunshine and rainbows are in short supply in the PvP arena.

With more than 100 characters—each with upgradable powers and abilities—Legacy of the Beast is a game of balance and tactics more than mere brute force.

Starting off rough, you’ll be on the receiving end of a few defeats before you learn how to mix fighters of different classes and varying specialities to vanquish your evolving enemies. Soon, though, you’ll be making on-the-fly decisions midbattle about whom to target with which strike.

Then things get really exciting.

Mages, minotaurs, and cosmic wolves? Rock on.

Each level is based on the art from one of the band’s albums—and offers multiple iconic Eddies to unlock. But you don’t have to be a fan of Iron Maiden to enjoy the game. Legacy of the Beast is a rockin’ experience for all.
