One mechanic made for each story

Each legend is a short, cinematic chapter of 15 to 25 minutes, built around the thing that story is about: a sling's rhythm, a silent march, a crowd that has to stand still while the chariots come on. Each one ends in a moment worth seeing: the stone in slow motion, the walls falling, fire from heaven, the sea divided.

The pillar of fire that led Israel through the desert lights the way from one legend to the next, and in the last chapter you follow it into the sea.

What's free, and what does the purchase unlock?

David & Goliath, the first legend, is free to play to the end, with the sling practice and the duel. One purchase unlocks the other 9 for good ($9.99 in the US). There are no subscriptions, ads or coins, and Family Sharing covers your family.

How do I get my purchase back on a new device?

Sign in with the same Apple Account, tap any legend that shows a lock, then tap Restore purchase.

Is it faithful to the Bible?

Every chapter follows its passage and doesn't change what happens. Scripture is quoted from the World English Bible with chapter and verse. The game fills in what the text leaves open, such as what a valley looks like or what brothers say while they wait. God is never shown as a person, only as light, fire, wind, a voice and the pillar itself.

Is there violence?

Some: a sling, a spear, a lion and a bear, and a fight at Lehi. It's spectacle without blood, and the game cuts away before the brutal parts.

How do I continue a legend, or start it over?

Each legend saves as you go. Its card on the home screen shows Continue, and the circling arrow beside it starts that legend from the beginning.

Does it need the internet?

No. Everything is on the device. You only need a connection to buy or restore the unlock.
