Unlike other games each dungeon has a specific feel and its own unique graphics. There are two main areas to explore with eight four level dungeons to delve into. When a characters dies the only hope of resurrecting them is to have either a high level healer (only female characters can be healers) or pay a visit to the local temple, but be warned if you leave it too long the body will have decayed beyond all hope of resurrection. Non-player characters often much stronger than your party offer assistance with advice, special items and more often than not, a strong right arm. There are many nice touches like the ability to negotiate safe passage past monsters or recruit them. A slight disappointment is the representation of the monsters, they are completely static, which is a bit of an oversight. All characters can attack at once, cast spells or defend and not as in some games only the first two or three. Combat is quite good with five ranks of combat ranging from the killing rank to the retreat rank. The exploration of the world is very similar to the Bard's Tale format and as an added bonus experienced roleplayers can load character from either The Bard's Tale or Phantasie.
Each profession has a distinct set of abilities such as trade related spells, thieving and lock picking abilities, or in the case of the blacksmith the ability to repair weapons and armour damaged during combat. Of the twelve professions many can cast spells such as the illusionist, magician, healer, druid or blacksmith, yes blacksmith.
To find new recruits you select the sex, race (there are five races in all) and which of the twelve professions you require and you will be presented with a likely candidate. You start in the inn where you can fill your six party slots with predefined characters or look around for a few new ones. A man propositions you in a bar and you find yourself as the guiding force behind a band of green but enthusiastic adventures. Several generations later things are beginning to stir as the elves take a dislike to the rest of the world. The many good races of the land formed a band of heroes who smegged the bad guys well and truly.
Send your troops, recruit an army, use spells, etc.Long ago the dragons teamed up with an evil magician and all hell broke loose. You can choose your side from good or bad, and male or female. Overall, it's this attention to detail and sheer playability that make Legend an unmissable game.Ī simple table styled strategy game with pure graphics, which takes place in middle ages. The characters move pretty quickly considering the amount of detail on screen and the puzzles are just complex enough to get you seriously thinking. The dungeons are viewed from a traditional isometric-3D viewpoint and are rich in detailed graphics. If the Runemaster fires off a missile damage spell, it spectacularly explodes on its target. But, the most impressive thing is that you actually get to see the spell in action unlike Legend's nearest competitor. It's set up so that you can experiment with various combinations to see whether you can find a hidden spell. The spell system is pretty complicated and involves mixing various runes and elements to form a spell. It's this last character that lifts Legend above the level of just another RPG to the mighty heights of super stardom. Apart from the usual load of fighting skills, each character has a special ability, for instance the Assassin can turn invisible and, best of all, the Runemaster can cast spells. Your band of adventurers is comprised of a Berserker, a Troubadour, an Assassin, and a Runemaster. This is achieved in two ways, first by ensuring that the various towns on the main map are well defended and, second, by entering the cellars and dungeons underneath the towns to kick monster butt and collect as much gold as possible. You take control of a band of four hearty adventurers in a quest to rid Trazere from evil's minions. Things aren't going too well at the moment - chaos walks the land and it's pretty ticked off! Who can save the Kingdom from the hordes of darkness? You guessed it, it's you.
