Mar 24, 2021Black Legend isn't perfect, but it brings some really solid pieces to the game as a whole. The town is interesting and is designed well, the class system allows for a good amount of freedom of player choice, and the alchemy system is pretty novel. The writing (or lack thereof) is a stumbling block, along with the difficult healing system... but the atmosphere really draws you in and leaves you wanting more of Grant and its mysteries.

Apr 14, 2021Despite its issues, Black Legend can offer an enjoyable 20-hour playthrough to fans of the Tactical RPG genre. A lot of work is needed, however, if it is to achieve anything greater than that.
-
May 18, 2021Sinister turn based tactics with interesting reload mechanics, but clunky visuals and navigation.
-
Apr 20, 2021I’ll freely admit that Black Legend definitely is original. At the same time, however, it’s ugly and dated, hardly suited for the modern audience.
-
Mar 30, 2021Black Legend is a game that has potential but fails to fulfill enough of it to keep a player interested. The tactical, hex and turn-based, battles are good. The humors are intriguing. But the game offers nothing to make them meaningful.

Jun 9, 2021A great tactics game locked in a shell of a shoddy RPG.
-
Apr 1, 2021Black Legend isn't capable of living up to its interesting premise and quickly becomes a repetitive slog through similar combat encounters. It lacks the complexity other tactical RPGs possess, it doesn't offer meaningful exploration or choices and its writing is generally quite bland. The concept is intriguing enough but it needed a stronger game around it.

Mar 25, 2021You can assemble a squad of mechas, a coven of mages, an elite military unit, or even a heavily armed pig and duck. You can fight aliens, fish-men, soldiers, pirates, and existential dread. What I mean to say is that I like the ideas in Black Legend, and I applaud the devs for remaining true to their vision. Although, this is an environment with stiff competition, and it wasn’t long before I felt my attention being pulled elsewhere. Black Legend will doubtlessly have its fans, but the magic simply isn’t there.
