ARPG by the same people that have made Restricted Area. The setting is standard fantasy this time though and it is quite generic. However in a number of areas like loot, music, atmosphere, visuals and character system, it is solid and worth a try. The story is more on the weak side and at least the german voice acting is often not great. One interesting feature is that the mouse cursor is actually a light elf that occasionally comments on the player's actions and interjects in dialogue. She also serves as a light source in dark environments.
I love this game. Mainly because of the dark atmosphere, the really good dubbing (especially the German dubbing) and the unique controls. The mouse cursor is not just a cursor, as in Diablo, for example, but the hero's constant companion. The lore has also been expanded with a browser game, a novel and an audio book.
I have never played it. I watched it being played on YouTube and it reminded me of Titan Quest (one of my favorites). Looks like a solid ARPG with a large world to explore. I would definitely buy if available on GOG. GOG is the place to buy hidden gems.
I got to know and love Legend from my Windows 7 days.
The main character with his character development, the sympathetic little fairy - and the world in which Legend is set captivated me for a very long time. I didn't find the story overwhelming, but it was well told. The battles against various monsters were always great fun.
I found both the quests and the travel mechanism very successful.
I think it would be a great pity if this gem of role-playing games could not be preserved here for eternity.
OMG! I love this game so much! Three of my favorite games of all time were released in 2009 - Divinity II: Ego Draconis, Risen, and of course Legend: Hand of God. I had been playing Divinity II: Ego Draconis and Risen since 2009 and I'm always looking for similar RPGs. A number of years ago while trying to search for similar titles, I happened across a thread where a few people mentioned Legend: Hand of God. I immediately purchased a copy and I was not disappointed. It's a fantastic game and more people deserve to know the awesomeness of Legend: Hand of God. If you're a fan of RPGs, I definitely recommend trying it out. I'm hoping one day Divinity II: Ego Draconis, Risen, and Legend: Hand of God will get a remake/remaster. (Also patiently waiting for Divinity III)
(NOTE/FYI: For some reason the North American version did not include an inner sleeve cover for the case, only an outer slip cover. So if you purchase a physical NA version, new or used, it is not going to have the inner sleeve cover only the outer slip cover. I have no idea if this was a production issue or purposefully intended to be released this way.)
Legend: Hand of God to niesamowita przygoda w przepięknym świecie fantasy. Wspaniała grafika, magiczny klimat i poruszająca historia budzą cudowne wspomnienia dawnych sesji przy komputerze. Oryginalny kursor tylko dodaje uroku tej klasyce aRPG, którą każdy miłośnik gatunku powinien mieć. GOG, koniecznie dodajcie ją do swojej oferty!
