You'll want to search each nook and cranny though as vital supplies are hidden everywhere.
Its maze-like streets are riddled with dead ends and doors locked from the other side, making just getting around a confusing experience. Feeling like a character in its own right, Grant is a dark and horrible place where litter and debris are stacked up everywhere. What is developed well though, at least in my opinion, was the city itself. Talking about and seeing their daily lives, and how they survived under the horrors of the cult, would have elevated the story above a decent framing device but instead, it felt slightly like a missed opportunity. NPCs will give background lines but don't really go into much detail on what's been happening under the Cult's control. It doesn't build on this foundation though. The initial story sets up the tale of the City rather well and does a good job of establishing the dark and foreboding atmosphere of Grant itself. I would have liked to have seen this story go into more detail, to be honest. From here you're given a few quests, along with their general location, before being left to your own devices to explore as you see fit.

He'll teach you how classes work, how to learn skills, how to carry out the basics of combat, and how the Alchemy system is essential in winning fights, before dropping you off at the Guild house that acts as a hub. Within seconds of entering, you'll stumble upon an NPC and he'll take you on a journey through the streets of Grant which serves as a tutorial. Here you can put together your character from a few preset faces, hairstyles and beards (don't expect Fallout 4 or Cyberpunk customization levels) before being dropped at the city gates to begin your quest. When starting your adventure you'll be presented with a basic character creation screen. I can easily see myself going back to this one on my own time to have a second playthrough. Despite these flaws though, I found myself drawn back to it and the more I played, the more I enjoyed it.
However, it does have some small glitches, some annoying bugs, and some UI choices that hold the game back from reaching "classic" status. If so, they should be pleased as Black Legend ticks all those boxes. It seems to me that the Devs have tried to create a game that was difficult, atmospheric, and had deep mechanics in its class and combat systems.

Released from prison, and promised a full pardon if you succeed, it's up to you and your squad of mercenaries to sneak into the city, eliminate the fog and free the population from the grasp of the Mephistian Cultists who control their lives. Only those loyal to Mephisto are given the cure to the noxious gas and, as dissenters and objectors die off, his cult quickly rises to dominate the entire city.įlash forward several years, and numerous attempts to liberate Grant, the task has now fallen upon you. The invading armies are quickly overcome but it's only then that the citizens realize the terrible cost. Using his arcane knowledge he releases a choking fog into the area, poisoning all who breathe it in. In desperation and with nowhere else to turn, the people asked the menacing and terrible alchemist Mephisto for help. Set in an alternative 17th Century style world, this once beautiful city was ravaged by war and beset by enemies on all sides. I'm also attracted to any game that has a dark, grimy world to explore, so I was instantly intrigued by this latest release from Belgian-based developer Warcave.īlack Legend starts by introducing the city of Grant.
I absolutely love the genre, reminding me of the pen and paper RPGs of my youth, they'll always have a special place in my heart. I'm a huge fan of turned-based strategy games.
