    Just wanted to say thank you. As someone who is legally blind I approached with a degree of scepticism. I didn't have to. Whilst the guide is a little wooden, the voice does it's job perfectly. I am guided through the menues and into the game, given an on the fly tutorial and the in game audio works perfectly. Without having to squint or move closer to the screen I can just play. Well done, the Dev set out to make a game for the visually impaired and succeeded. There are no graphics as such you…

    Ok, so for those of you who look at reviews first this is for you. The computer automated voice in the beginning is horrid. It is amazingly annoying and almost made me want to stop playing the game. After I got throught the tutorial it became fun. Just get through the beginning and the rest is extremely fun and I am having a great time playing it so far. Its fun to just close my eyes and listen. Very creative game. I can say for the first time in a long time that this is something I have not…

    Maybe it's my unjustly high standards, but if you are making a game where your entire selling point is an audio experience, I'd expect there to be a bit more effort put into the sound making (read: don't reuse the same sound assets). I can overlook listening to my daughter character repeating the same directions over and over again. I can't however accept that I'm fighting a troop of knights, who thankfully have some variant in their voice and personality, but still have the same attack and…

    An interesting new perspective (audio only) on a quick time event adventure, sadly not particularly well executed. + Audio-only - Seemingly random switches between narration, talk, interactivity on random scenes and encounters - Cutscenes with no control - Annoying narrator/introductory voice, breaks immersion - Loading scenes (for a few megabites of audio? seriously?) - Gamepad support, but no gamepad-controls explanation after selecting it - Mostly no great voice acting - Inconsistent…

    An entirely new kind of experience! Upon first hearing about this game (pun very much intended) I was intrigued to say the least. A video game I play with my aural system not my occular system? Foolishness. But yeah, nah, it's actually solid and really easy to pick up once you get going. I see a lot of pro and con lists in the comments so I'll jump on that bandwagon: Pros: Blindfolding yourself to play a video game is such a unique experience and personally I enjoyed the new medium to paint…

    A game that you can play with your eyes closed? Sounds good. (Get it?) You play as a blind knight who with your daughter as a guide have to save your kidnapped wife from the evil king. The voices sound kind of cheesy, however with the exception of the annoying robot lady from the main menu and tutorial(s), most of the voice actors did an okay job. The sounds effects were also pretty good. The gameplay consists mostly of two types: - Combat: You have to listen to where an attack is coming…

    I'm a blind gamer and here's my two cents. People praise this for being innovative, and that's valid. Unfortunately it's not a good game. The voice acting is hilariously bad, the menu TTS is grating, the story is uninspired and often confusing, the characters have less personality than a sack of potatoes, and why does raising your shield to block instantly put a low-pass filter on every sound? I mean, I guess it's alright for a buck or two. Don't buy this at full price though.

    Quick thoughts on my experience so far.. It's an interesting game, but it's not that great. Here's why. 1. The robot voice that tells you how to play is annoying.. it seems to speak less and less as you play, but it completely takes me out of the experience every time it pipes up. If there must be a voice speaking to me, the player, at least make it a real voice. This is the worst thing so far. 2. There isn't a big enough variety of sounds.. for a game that is 100% based on sound, it kinda…

    making a game where the entire focus is on sounds and going with an AI narrator was definitely a choice. Not that the rest of the voice acting was amazing, they were either bad or generic.

    It could really be a great game. The idea is really cool. And the soung design is interesting and neat. But as many people, I hate the AI narrator, and it's speaking a lot. Both in french and english it is unbearable. And even more in this era where AI is not well seen, and even less in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game... Also, the voice actors are... improvable. But at least they are humans. The only art this game has is the sound. I think they could have used a bit more time and hire a narrator, and also they…

    Gaming is a visual medium, and for that reason when I review games, a strong emphasis is given to solid delivery of the visuals that must be there to support excellent game design. This is understandable, and not even remarkable, it's reflected in the overwhelming success of games that match great visual and audio design with equally immersive gameplay and gripping narrative. But sometimes, in extremely rare situations, we can ignore this requirement for high visual fidelity. Like in "A…

    I wish I could recommend this game. It has a peculiar concept and I usually promote this kind of experimentation, even if the game is not a masterpiece. Howeveer, in this case, after the surprise of the unique game mechanics wear off, nothing great remains from it. It becomes incredibly repetitive: there are only two phases, the combats and the running, and both are super tedious. In the combat phases, you only have to wait for the right signal to hit where the sound comes from; in the running…

    This is the first time I give a negative review to a game… and it’s basically for 2 reasons: 1) Immersion totally broken by the menu/loading/instructions voice 2) Checkpoints bring you back what fells like 5 minutes of uninteresting things. When you play in hard mode it’s annoying as ♥♥♥♥…. In normal is just very very annoying. I had high expectative for this game, it’s a pity it has so many BIG problems =/

    This game is brilliantly executed-- a truly unique gaming experience. This is a video game without any video. I recommend a good set of headphones and a controller (I use an Xbox 360 controller). Also, I just play with my eyes closed as well instead of looking at the smoky screen. The game flashes the screen when you successfully make an attack with your sword and I can see the flashes with my eyes shut. For a game like this, if the voice acting or sound effects were bad, it would ruin…

    While I would love a great 'audio game' this is not it. I give it full points for trying though. The reason why I can't recommend it is that I expected higher quality from it. Some of the voicework/sound is decent other is not or not varried enough. The biggest killer is the robotic voice breaking immersion by telling me every minute the game is loading. It was already annoying to hear said voice for the menu and tutorial. I wish they went with a more human approach and maybe less 'loading'…

    I am going to recommend this (one of the occasions where I miss one 'neutral' thumb) because the immersion is quite nice (close your eyes and use good headphones and disable all the filters on the soundcard like surround filters that would make the binaureal effects of the game totally ineffective) and different from all the other games I normally play. The development of the story is also quite nice and the gameplay mechanics can be repetitive (fights, mostly), but still challenging.…

    Great concept! Poor execution. For a game of all sounds, I expect those sounds to be immersive and plentiful, but some felt exhausted and mechanics felt pretty repetitive. Also, many things were given no good descriptions in-game, so if there did happen to be unique sounds accompanying it, sometimes there were no detailed cues on what it actually was

    Playing without visuals is a very interesting mechanic, and occasionally it did work well. However, there is a very limited amount of different sounds (so you end up pushing buttons in response to whether the sound is to your left or right), and fighting is quite annoying. I gave up the game after I tried to defend some fishermen who had saved me - I simply wasn\'t sure if I was even hitting the monster, and I always ended up dying.

    A Blind Legend is a decent tech demo for audio gaming, but it's uninspired. The protagonist's voice actor gives the standard fantasy plot a good effort; however, the rest of the performances are bland at best, and at worst they become outright obnoxious as characters recite their lines every time you fail and have to replay a section.

The voice acting is fine, but the story is trite and predictable. The gameplay is slow and extremely repetitive.

    If you're the type to read reviews before purchasing, this is the review for you. Buy this game. Right now. If you've gotten far enough as to see what other people are thinking, I promise you you won't regret it. I'd pay twice the price for half of the experience I just got from playing the first hour of it. There is something incredibly special about this game. The combat is SO very fun, the characters are each incredibly fleshed out and relatable, and you TRULY feel like this badass blind…

    Absolutely wild. There's no graphics, only sound. The screen is always fully black. Yet somehow, you are still engaged in the game. This gives you insights on how games work. Even if you're not into gaming, you could play it just for the sake of an unusual and unique experience.

    I was diagnosed with very aggressive glaucoma over the last two years. I’m now completely blind in my left eye and have very little vision in my right. I’ve been a gamer since I was a kid, so it’s been tough realizing that many of the games I love aren’t as easy for me to play anymore. That’s why a game like A Blind Legend is amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone who is blind or visually impaired—and even if you’re not, it’s still absolutely worth playing. You won’t regret it.

    One thing you can say about "A Blind Legend", a game with no visuals, is that the players have a real appreciation for the fine graphics. Yes, I did buy it and am looking forward to playing it. store.steampowered.com/app/437530/A...

    The gameplay gets stale after about 10 minutes, it's only QTE after QTE followed by mashing the "Find Girl Button"

    If it would be just a normal game, it would surely failed. If you have are somehow experienced player (like "not only solitaire"-level rather than pro gamer one), it won't surprise you. It has the laziest possible plot and two or three the most obvious sound-based mechanics. Also some battle scenes has really unreadable and frustrating timings. To sum up, the game could be much better if developers were motivated and talented. Nevertheless, the concept of non-visual game is amazing and I can…

    This is a cool game that provided a very cool experience. For Once, you can experience being blind.

    An interesting experiment but not much of a game.

    Very interessting idea and mostly well executed. I found it quite refreshing to try a completely different sort of game like. I love the idea of this game being completely playable for blind people, with the menu and everything you do being guided by a voice. While the voice itself can be a bit jaring, I think for what it is, it's really nice. Gameplay wise, I thought it was fun. They had quite a lot of different ideas considering all you can do to play is listen. The only issues I had were…
