When you're not wrestling with its cumbersome online machinations, Deadliest Warrior: Legends is an absolute treat. It possesses a number of potent improvements over last year's model, resulting in a fighter that's cerebral, satisfying and deep -- and, in the moments when it is not those things, absolutely hilarious.
this has probably been suggested before but what the heck here goes again, Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris, I know they did this in one of Bruce's movies but it would sure add to my argument to have the combat computer run the simulation.
Recipe for a good time - grab a couple friends, this game and a couch. Start by beating the snot out of each other. Follow that with laughter at the gobs of unintentional comedy and over-the-top gore. Figure out the depth of the combat system and your favorite warriors. If you have a choice of going out and catching one of this summer's disappointing blockbusters or playing this game for the same price, play the game.
It's impressive that so much has been packed into such a cheap downloadable game, but I would have liked more attention to the core gameplay, and less attention paid to the glamour of gore.
Just remember, this is just a straight up simple fighting game…it does not pretend to be anything else. That is why it's so cool in its simplicity. A casual beat-um up that can be played single player or local with a friend or online.
Deadliest Warrior's violent contests are mainly good only for amusement, as the shallow play mechanics and repetitive battles offer more laughs than longevity.
Really addictive. Fast combat, awesome warriors. Sun Tzu is pretty awesome. My friends and i bought this at 5pm and we are still playing it. I'm only typing it because I am waiting my turn. I haven't played Generals but it looks really cool. Definitely pick it up for $10.
This game was actually a refreshing beat em up to play, I really enjoyed the combat, and although it comes with faults this game has serious potential to become the new bushido blade. No life bars, just an old fashioned fight to the death where a blow that would kill you in real life, kills you in game, a realistic take on the fighting genre (not without it's quirks but I will say again I really think this series has serious potential to become great). Don't come expecting it to be the best game ever and you will be able to enjoy what you find.
This is a definate step up from the first title. The fact that each fighter has their own background, which includes vistas as well as gameplay differences, is great. The characters are pretty interesting, and the combat is strategic and deadly. I wish the Generals campaign had more meat and some of the voice work is really bad. Also, when I started the trial version, it booted me from Live! I'm sure more bugs will be found as I play.
Unfortunately, it's a step forward in the graphical sense, and a step backwards in the gameplay sense. Why? Because of the Grapple Mode. It's very easy to enter Grappling, and also very easy to get instant kills with the signature move. It's gory and good looking, but also ends the fight unfairly and looks always the same. Single player is pretty much watered down by this fact. I could get easy wins even in the Deadliest difficulity, by just going for the grapple all the time, and hitting Y (Attempt at match ending signature kill). Computer AI is not smart enough to avoid the kill, most of the times. In multilplayer (online or local) the game is better, because human opponent knows that the risk of the grappler going for an instant kill is very high. So, single player kinda ****, really. Graphics are a lot better, the environments look good also, with only couple of exceptions.
I bought this game. It was horrible. Battles are an incoherent mess! Visuals marred by clipping, awful lip-syncing, disappearing gear. Deadliest Warrior Legends suffers from poor combat design with its invincible blocking and grappling mechanic that you just wonâ
