You and your fellow adventurers have arrived in an empty, crumbling city floating high above the Earth. You must keep the city intact long enough to repair the portal so you can escape back in time. Will you survive long enough to uncover the secrets of the ancient city-and meet its ancient inhabitants? Forbidden Legacy hurls your team into seven-episode quest where every choice counts. Work together through shifting moments in time, unlock abilities, reveal hidden components, and trigger lasting changes that reshape the game. Like the other Forbidden adventures, teamwork and daring moves are essential - but now the world evolves with you. New rules emerge, challenges escalate, and with each episode the city - and your path - transforms forever.
