==Plot==
The game takes place in the Kingdom of Ehb 150 years after the events of the first part. The 10th Legion, which had kept the kingdom stable for 400 years, was almost completely wiped out. Thirty years before the start of the game, Jeyne Kassynder rallied the people in eastern Ehb and, with the support of the Azunai church, blamed the death of King Hendrik on the 10th Legion. Many people joined her rebellion, and, a year after the death of the monarch, Kassynder managed to exterminate almost the entire legion, destroying most of the legionnaires in the forest Mournwreald, in the valley of Rukkenvahl. The army of young Queen Roslyn was driven to the Glitterdelve Mines, stripping it of almost all power. However, a small group of legion descendants remained under the tutelage of a man calling himself Venerable Odo - the organization's former intelligence officer...
The player's character begins their journey by arriving at the Montbarron estate, a place where the surviving legionnaires were secretly invited. It turns out that robbers - Lescanzi attacked the estate. With the help of the surviving Legion warrior Marten Guiscard, the hero goes in search of Odo, who takes refuge in an old Legion Fort near Raven's Rill.
Upon arrival at Fortecia, the hero begins to find out the reasons for the circumstances and also searches for other descendants of the legion. In a cave near the settlement, the player finds the first ally: the archon Anjali or the knight Lucas (depending on the chosen main character). The heroes go to Rukkenval to the place of the last battle between the army of the Legion and Jeyne, and there they meet The Radiant Youth, who shares with them the power to open Causeways to a parallel world.
With the help of said transitions, the heroes enter the Upper Raven's Rill, which is currently occupied by mercenaries, and enter into a battle with one of Jeyne's commanders - Rajani. After the victory and liberation of the settlement, the heroes go to the city of Stonebridge to restore Legion Chapterhouse in Stonebridge. On the way, they meet Katarina - the illegitimate daughter of Hugh Montbarron and Lucas's sister. In Gloamwood Bog, they help a squad of soldiers commanded by Lord Devonsey free several scouting groups and the geomancer, Phineas, and get out of the swamps, so that they can come to the aid of Queen Roslyn.
After the opening of the Legion Chapterhouse, the group tries to enlist the support of the queen's army and the council of guilds - the so-called Meisters who rule the city. Through the passage, they travel to the snow-covered highlands, to the Glitterdelve mines, in which they help Queen Roslyn and Lord Devonsey repel an attack by Jeyne Kassynder. Back in town, the heroes suppress the Cyclops rebellion in the Great Foundry, resolving the conflict between the Ironmonger Guild and the workers, and also clear the underground crypts of a group of robbers. With the help of the council, the heroes meet Reinhart - the descendant of the greatest magician of the 10th Legion.
Upon resurfacing from the Great Foundry, the city is under attack - mechanical automatons got out of control and attack residents. They are commanded by a dangerous criminal called The Dapper Old Gent, who as it turns out later is a former legionnaire (Archambaud Du Payen) who survived the events of thirty years ago. The player has to decide the fate of Dapper Old Gent, and their choice will affect the further relationship between Stonebridge and the 10th Legion.
With the help of two armies, the player attacks the Spire - the cathedral of the Azunite church, owned by Jeyne Kassynder. At the gate, they meet Rajani (if they left her alive) and other archons, who stopped believing in Jeyne and no longer follow her. The heroes make their way inside the cathedral, where they engage in a battle with Jeyne, in which she is eventually defeated. However, she manages to escape to Rukkenvahl, where she awakens the ancient god, Corrupted Creator. After defeating it, the player meets up with The Radiant Youth and decides Jeyne's fate.

==Gameplay==
Compared to the previous games in the series, the gameplay of the third part has been greatly transformed, slightly moving away from the Hack and Slash system in favor of the plot component. The player has the opportunity to choose one of the sides at key points in the game. His actions and decisions directly affect the attitude of other characters towards him.
The player still controls the character from a third person, but the control system itself has changed dramatically - instead of automatic combat and the mechanics of "Point-and-click", the player controls the characters directly using the keyboard or controller. To attack the enemy, you must first turn in his direction, and then press the attack button.
The party system has been abolished, and instead of it the hero can choose only one companion, which is controlled by the computer (or another player when playing in multiplayer). The player is free to equip and develop a companion as well as himself. In case of death of your character, the companion will be able to resurrect him, making the passage a little easier. It works the other way too.
