Legion Rush — Free Browser Horde Runner
Legion Rush is a free arcade horde-runner that plays right here in your browser — no download, no account, no install. You command a legion of low-poly heroes marching down a corridor packed with hundreds of monsters. Pick multiplier doors on the fly, merge troops into veterans and legends, choose a new skill after every boss, and see how far you can push through fifty levels across three worlds: a medieval kingdom, a haunted night forest and a scorched desert.
How to play
Desktop: steer your formation left and right with the arrow keys or A/D. Mobile: touch anywhere and drag — your legion follows your finger. Your troops march and fire automatically; the whole game is positioning.
Doors come in pairs. Steer through the better bonus — extra characters, damage or attack-speed multipliers, critical chance, healing — and dodge the red penalty doors. A door only affects the members who actually pass through its panel, so line your formation up with the door, not just near it.
Merging: twenty basic characters fuse into one Experienced veteran, and thirty veterans forge a legend — Robin Hood for archers, the Warlord for soldiers. Merged units concentrate the stats of everyone who formed them, fire faster, and each merge also pops a handful of fresh recruits into your ranks.
Tips for your first runs
- Spread your door captures. Door effects are applied per member inside the panel. Keep the squad centered on the good door as it sweeps past so nobody misses the bonus — clipping a door with the edge of your formation wastes most of it.
- Catch the leakers. Monsters that slip past your legion escape off the bottom of the screen and shave a percentage off the diamonds you earn for the level. Slide over and gun down stragglers before they cross the line.
- Max-HP doors are rare — respect them. The white-heart door is the only door that permanently raises health. Take it when your troops are battered or a boss is coming up; take damage multipliers when you are healthy, since damage compounds with crits and attack speed.
- Dodge the rushers. Each world has an elite sprinter — the Dark Knight, the Serpent, the Cursed Mummy — that one-shots anything it touches. It telegraphs its charge lane; sidestep early instead of trying to out-damage it.
- Spend diamonds smartly. Early Armory gems go furthest in the Gem Talisman (more diamonds every run) and the War Banner (extra starting allies). Raw damage and attack speed catch up later.
