Run Legends is a free running game and fitness RPG for iPhone and Android. You walk or run in the real world to battle enemies: your distance, pace and time drive the fight, and you can play solo or team up with friends in real time. Gear is calibrated to your pace, so walkers and runners both get a fair fight.
How a Run Legends session works
- Create or join a mission. Start a new game or join a friend's with a code.
- Calibrate your gear to your pace. Set your pace by hand or run a quick calibration mission.
- Fight as you move. Distance, pace and time wear down enemy health; fire off skills like Force Field and Discharge mid-run, and switch to Team View to see your squad.
What you need
A phone and headphones. No special equipment: you play outside on your normal walk or run. Inverse described it as a clever iPhone RPG you play with AirPods and your legs.
