Review: ‘Legendary Tales’ is a classic style dungeon crawler in which you will be fighting hand to hand with a bunch of different creatues. Just to make things interesting there is also a 4 player co-op mode to enjoy as well as some RPG elements to keep the game ticking along. While I do have to give credit to the developers for putting a lot of work into this game (especially in the graphics department) it still feels very messy, clunky even. It is clear this game is in the very early days of its life, but for some reason, it is asking for a AAA price tag. While I do still think ‘Legendary Tales’ is something worth keeping an eye on, the time to buy it is definitely not yet and it might never be fully worth the current asking price. So take that as you will. A potentially great game that has a lot of growing up to do, so watch this space.
