The Legend of Legacy

At the start I was really excited. After picking one of seven playable characters, you’re thrown into something of an adventure island situation. Each of the characters is put on the island for their own special purpose: I played as Garnet, the templar-style character, who is there on behalf of a religious institution to investigate talk of spiritual beings on the island. You’re given free reign of the island by the dubiously self-titled “Adventure King” who essentially acts as the quest giver in this game. From this point, you take your two other party members and head out into the unknown.

Adding to these difficulties was the frankly brutal combat system, which was very poorly explained, and rewards endless grinding rather than strategy or variety. I’ll give you a quick rundown of things that will lead to your immediate death: Changing a party member because they will be horribly under-leveled; Changing weapon type because you will lose all of your skills; Not setting the correct battle formation which by the way, is never explained at any point. This doesn’t even take into account the extremely convoluted elemental system, where you and your enemy have what is essentially a tug-of-war in the midst of battle, with the goal of appeasing nearby cosmic dust to fight on your side of the battlefield. If you do pick up this game, I urge you to choose your final party and weapon combinations as early as possible and save after every combat because you will be punished if you don’t.
