    The new review is Legendary (the game, not the adjective). An Xbox 360 era FPS where Pandora's Box is opened and modern military forces wage war against drakes, griffins, and minotaurs. But mostly werewolves.

    This game isn't high art even by mid2000s FPS standards but I have no idea why reviews are so low. Is it janky and unremarkable? Yeah. Are the enemies bullet sponges and the guns inconsistent at most ranges? Yeah. Are there annoying instant-death traps, areas where you have to set the framerate to 30FPS for the physics to work, and some of the worst platforming ever seen in a video game? Yeah. But there's also enough spectacle and gleeful urban destruction to make Prototype and Darksiders look…

    Game with good concept and great potential but seems the development was limited, the story with mythological creatures is interesting which can have many mythological creature enemies across all mythology, but the game has very few creatures and mostly only werewolf as main enemy, I was expecting medusa, dragons etc, and also the game ends with cliffhanger. Anyway this game has potential if they remake it in latest unreal engine where levels are redesigned with more variety of new mythical…

    This game is awesome! I used to play it a lot on my Xbox 360 and now I'm happy to play it again on Steam! The combat is smooth and satisfying, and the game runs beautifully even on controller (minus one major bug at the end of the game, but there's a community guide on how to fix it!) If you miss the linear shooters of the 360 days give this one a try! It's a hidden gem!

    Never have expectations, and be ready to be surprised. Considering all the scores, reviews, and internet discourse about Legendary, I really thought it was going to be a dumpster fire, luckily, I like to give chances to strange stuff, and Legendary is fine, good even. It's pretty original and different, and while I think it's a bit too clunky and unfinished, it has its charm. The chaotic nature of a megalopolis being invaded by mythical creatures is so weird it's funny, but seeing a griffin…

    I think people are way to harsh on this game, yes it is janky as hell and yes the story is cheesy and b-grade at best, but honestly the concept alone is the only reason why i think this game is worth playing, the idea of mythical monsters wreaking havoc on modern day society is just to good to ignore, i really wish games would explore more on this concept and that they could have a better execution.

    Legendary is a mixed bag at best, you can tell the developer's put alot in but maybe it went over budget or was pushed out too quickly, and it shows. It’s a standard shooter mechanically but its mythological enemies and story are genuinely unique ideas that help it stand out. For the most part, the combat is serviceable and even fun at times. Unfortunately, that’s where the praise ends. The game’s biggest downfall is its absurdly unbalanced gameplay paired with AI that’s dumb as a brick. What…

    First playthrough review time. Legendary has a simple story and the characters are not very deep, but they fit the style of this kind of action game. The game also has the look and style of an old action movie, which gives it a different character. The gameplay is mostly linear. You move through the levels, shoot enemies, and continue to the next area. The maps are simple, and the enemy AI is weak in some parts, but the shooting works well and the action keeps moving at a good pace. There…

    When I was a kid, I really liked this game. Do not doing the same mistake: do not ruin your the childhood memories. -conceptually the game is great - a pandora's box that brought mythological creatures into the modern world and started the apocalypse. I would really like to see a modern rendition (not a remake, there is nothing to remake here); -looks pretty good. But by design...gray and unattractive as all games on UE3.

    The Maximum Overdrive of video games. Legendary is unintentionally one of the funniest FPS games I've ever played. Its over-the-top setpieces, cloying attempts to portray horror (think F.3.A.R, or Run Like Hell if either couldn't get enough of jumping over sharks), ill-fitting butt rock soundtrack, and overwhelmingly fast pacing, makes for a campy B-movie tier spectacle. While the premise isn't that original if you have played Painkiller, Clive Barker's Jericho, or Shadow The Hedgehog (no I'm…

    This game can be fun and enjoyable ONLY if (1) you do not mind dying because of recurring glitches and bugs, and (2) you are prepared to frequently restart the game after becoming stuck due to technical issues. Progression is also frequently interrupted by moments in which certain objects cannot be passed because of poorly implemented invincibility frames. If you are able to overlook these frustrations and approach it simply as a kind of platformer, the game still has merit.

    Good (not great) linear oldschool FPS worth playing for it's amazing atmosphere.  Game mechanics, level design, story, audio and music are serviceable, but that's not why you play this game. It's the unique atmosphere and game setting. There is a nice ensemble of mythological monsters (werewolfs, minotaurs, fairies, etc.) classic weapons (axe, pistol, assault rifle, shotgun, machinegun, rocket launcher, flamethrower, molotov cocktail and grenade), some basic environment interactions, and…

    Legenday's biggest mistake was coming out in 2008. Following up a year like 2007 and then launching in 2008, it draws a lot of unflattering comparisons between it and some of the generation defining shooters like Call Of Duty: World At War, Halo 3, Bioshock and a slew of others. It's biggest crime is it's mediocrity. The game's set in London where you're a thief named Deckard, sent to steal Pandora's Box. You open the box and bam, monsters come out to destroy the world. There isn't a…

    I went in with low expectations but this game proved me wrong. This is actually my first review despite being on steam for a decade. So that should say I liked this game enough to post a review. The game is clunky as it seems like a console port and therefore the zooming in with weapons is too sensitive. But this can be forgiven on Normal difficulty. Also I have never played an fps with mythical beasts so that's a first. The game ended with a potential for a sequel that never came.

    Another one in the list of games that present themselves with a fun and interesting premise, and then simply do not deliver on it. Why does this happen so often? Every time this happens, the people behind the work must see it too, right? I once again went into the game fully expecting to enjoy it because of the set-up alone. Sure it'll probably be a mediocre shooter, but mythical creatures running around urban environments is cool! Surely they'll have the griffons from the cover, the…

Watching the chaos of mythological creatures being unleashed into the world as they tear apart people and buildings in awesome and grusome detail is stunning. There's so much potential for a sequel or even a reboot. A lot could be added to the game in terms of gameplay mechanics and the story. Unfortunely the…

    From the way that its cutscenes are narrated through a still of concept arts tells you enough about the possible shoe-string budget this entire project was put together from, and yet despite that, it has some fun to be had. The shooting can be a mixed bag sometimes, but most of it plays pretty well, as long as you don't go into the ionsight view because then things get shakey.

    Legendary is the drunken result of a messy hook-up between Half-Life 2, God of War, Control, and F.E.A.R. It is at times barely functional, and at others, one of the most fascinatingly weird FPSes of the 7th console generation. ALSO - be sure to look up the elevator glitch if your refresh rate is over 30! The multiplayer doesn't really work unless you use workarounds, and good luck finding anyone to play it with, BUT the singleplayer is truly baffling in the kind of way that a certain type…

    Barely works and loads textures incorrectly. Towards the end of the game there's a glitch somehow tied to the framerate with players falling through an elevator. Gameplay was stale when this was new and now it's just godawful. You walk through linear corridors with buttons and valves as roadblocks, shoot some monsters and military dudes until the game ends after a few hours. The ragdoll effects can be funny, but the guns lack a punch. The only positive thing is how short this is.
