    Ultimately, there’s enough here to remind you to come back for more, with its fan service being a particular delight, especially when it comes to offering previously unreleased tracks. However, even non-fans who enjoy a solid RPG should be able to rock out to what Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast has to offer.

    There's something genuine and nostalgic about Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast, along with what seems like true love for the band. You can't expect too much depth in a free-to-play RPG based on the license of a heavy metal band, but inside this limits, Roadhouse Games has managed to build something remarkable.

    LotB drips with Maiden “mythology”, looks great and offers a decent gameplay, but becomes repetitive too fast and relies on grinding too much. [10/2016, p.71]

    Overall, the game will feel very familiar if you’ve played other mobile, turn-based RPGs. The fun factor here comes in waves, especially for the die-hard Iron Maiden fan, in trying to collect iconic Eddie incarnations as well as advancing in stages to hear the awesome Iron Maiden soundtrack.

    I guess if you’re after a free RPG-lite you could do much worse than Legacy of the Beast, although it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that the people to get the most out of it will be Iron Maiden fans.

    Oddly charming, perhaps nostalgic, but pretty shallow and filled with free-to-play shenanigans.

The best thing about the game is that it's based on Iron Maiden, and the soundtracks are awesome. Also, the real time perfect hit is unique, and I like the fact that you can carry 3 eddies. Also, the fun of this game is that the souls have an extremely low probability of getting high ranking characters and the chance is even lower for eddies. The gauntlet is also pretty challenging and there are many missions in PVE which means that you can't abuse money and win a stage. The character power difference is quite big though, because a lv1 5* is stronger than a lv30 4*.… Expand

    First of all the legacy of the beast's gameplay is low. In my opinion RPG-games should have more diversity gameplay. Music compositions are too short and cut off.
    My expectations not fulfilled. Iron maiden is great band, but this game is just similar merch product.    … Expand
