The gameplay is a sandbox approach, and allows the player to seamlessly switch from any of the available roles without menu-interfaces. Traditional roles include, among others, mining, trading, pirating, exploring, bounty hunting, and military flight. Similarly to earlier Evochron titles, the gameplay is considered to be 'seamless'.

Like in Evochron Renegades, all are. All can be flown through, with some of the clouds actively disabling or hindering player and ship systems. Planets can be descended upon in real-time and used to trade upon, a feature often praised in the now classic.
I have been scoring the Evochron series since 2009 and have always done a set of new epic music for each iteration of the game. This release is all of the music for the newest version of the game. For Legacy, I was tasked with doing a low, medium, and high intensity version of each of the three cues.

Gameplay[edit]
The gameplay of the game is comparable to Evochron Renegades, in which the player takes the role of a mercenary pilot in the fictional Evochron sector of space. The gameplay is a freeform sandbox approach, and allows the player to seamlessly switch from any of the available roles without menu-interfaces. Traditional roles include, among others, mining, trading, pirating, exploring, bounty hunting, and military flight. Similarly to earlier Evochron titles, the gameplay is considered to be 'seamless'.[citation needed]Like in Evochron Renegades, all environments are interactive. All nebulae can be flown through, with some of the clouds actively disabling or hindering player and AI ship systems. Planets can be descended upon in real-time and used to trade upon, a feature often praised in the now classic Frontier: Elite II.[citation needed] Atmospheric flight differs significantly from space flight, although the controls remain identical. Asteroid fields allow the player to mine and use them as temporary cover, in combat, from missile and gunfire. Larger asteroids sometimes include tunnel systems that can be explored and used for combat advantages. Objects like planets, stars, and black holes all exert a gravitational pull on the ship.[2]
Flight in Evochron Legends is a hybrid between heavy- and low-inertia flight. By using a ship-system called the inertial dampening system (IDS) the player can choose to let the ship automatically adapt the course to the cockpit orientation or to let the ship keep its current heading and speed to turn the ship freely during flight due to the lack of friction in space.
New features and improvements[edit]
New features include military combat ships ranging from light scouts to heavy interceptors that can be purchased and flown by players, and new capital ships such as Cruisers, Battleships, Command Ships, and Destroyers that can engage in war zone battles.[3] In addition, the game makes a huge jump forward in graphical aspects[4] - where Evochron Renegades' graphics were considered 'functional' rather than 'flashy', Evochron Legends has more highly detailed textures and new effects such as stellar accretion discs and more planetary ring types.[5] New roles have been added, including passenger transport, energy transport, crafting, and capital ship escorting.

Story quest[edit]
The story revolves around one person chasing the Phantom class battle carrier from Arvoch Conflict and Evochron Renegades. The story seems to be as optional as possible, although completing the quest will yield beneficial advantages.
The story quest will let the player go on a hunt after beacons that are scattered throughout the universe. Unlike earlier games, the player will need to fulfill certain requirements for the beacon to activate, making the story more 'red line'--like for players new to the series. Although the story builds further on the earlier Starwraith 3D Games lore, it is self-explanatory and does not require earlier knowledge of the story.
Multiplayer[edit]
Multiplayer in the Evochron series has offered the seamless profile system since its very beginning. In this system, a pilot profile made will always be available on any game server that is not purely set to multiplayer profiles. In this way, players are free to work on their spacecraft in single player.
Capture the flag-like objects have been added, allowing players and clans to set up a CTF match seamlessly. Notable locations for such a match include within a high-energy nebula and the interior of a large asteroid.
Any person can host a (dedicated) game server for a predetermined number of players. Other players are required to use a compatible version of the client to connect to the server, and to have identical universe files. The host of the game sets any rules, although rules are only controlled through players and not enforced by the game itself. In this way, the freeform spirit of the game is retained.
