    Well, its no quake4 or HL2 but its nice in its way. Nice background story (and therefore monster, especially the bosses), linear gameplay with arcade-style shooting, acceptable graphic and music..... its worth a budget price, lets say around 15$. Wont last long, but it is still a 5hours of fun killing.

    Not a perfect example of a FPS but if you like them it is an interesting distraction. Game was pretty short and didn't really have an assortment of enemy's. Game was also quite short. Have to admit the only real boss battle was a really fun battle. Wish they would of done more of that. As well the music to the game was amazing but the ambient noise could use a little work.

    I rather liked this game. Really good soundtrack and cool-looking (if otherwise worthless) weapons, plus enemies that weren't anonymous pointless 'soldiers' or some sort made it fairly fun. This game also has easily one of the best openings of any I've played -- nothing quite like seeing griffins literally destroying New York City.

    This game is realy a guilty pleasure game, more like older styled FPS's Like Quake and Doom, it lacks story but is just fun to just screw around in and just blow crap up!

    Interesting take off on Greek Mythology, but what the story lacks in plot it certainly makes up in nonstop action. This seems to be a low budget game, as you go through the same caves, air vents, and subway stations, and rooms numerous times. Also, I seemed to run into technical glitches and freezes with annoying frequency. If you can get it on sale

    A thoroughly average game, everything about it is exactly that. About 4-5 hours of game play. People looking for non-stop action FPS may enjoy but most others will just go meh.

    Legendary is a mixture of every average shooter ever made. Not a single weapon from the available arsenal is worthy of a mention, yet none are worthless. Health is regenerated from the signet on Deckers hand which also doubles as a defensive item as it can be used to daze enemies with its short range energy blast. It's just a 'run of the mill' fps that has good ideas, which are poorlyLegendary is a mixture of every average shooter ever made.

It's just a 'run of the mill' fps that has good ideas, which are poorly executed.

    Now, there is some stand out moments which are worthy of a mention and it is to do with the levels and the enemies. The mythical creatures are of high quality and of a good variety, but again the poor execution in implementing them into the levels shows amateurish mistakes throughout. They are fun to go up against and on normal difficulty they are worthy opponents. However, they will be clipping in and out of the levels as well as appearing out of thin air as you activate the next section of the level... obviously, the immersion is lost at these poorly designed intervals. It's a shame because Legendary has been made with a lot of love and it does show. The subject material is well used and the story is well put together nonsense. I played through the game as if I was a play tester pinpointing problems and thinking up new ideas all the way until the end. I enjoyed it a lot and it pains me to say that as you have to delve deep to get the most out of it. You should play it as it is cheap but that price does reflect the quality of most of the game.... Sad face 5/10    … Expand

    Legendary is almost a decent game. Its clearly a lower budget title from 2008, it has ambition and it aims for a cool spectacle littered with setpiece moments but sadly its just not enough for a fully compelling game. Gunplay is suprisingly decent, guns also sound fairly fine and beefy, but the mouse default sensitivity is just god awful, its extremely overly sensitive and turning it downLegendary is almost a decent game. Its clearly a lower budget title from 2008, it has ambition and it aims for a cool spectacle littered with setpiece moments but sadly its just not enough for a fully compelling game. Gunplay is suprisingly decent, guns also sound fairly fine and beefy, but the mouse default sensitivity is just god awful, its extremely overly sensitive and turning it down makes aiming sluggish and slow leading to tracking enemies while aiming down sights a misery, clearly devs didnt put full effort into PC version. Still blasting enemies is cheap thrills kinds of fun mostly. Enemies are only challenging if you run into a group of them like a headless chicken and forget youre losing health, other than that theyre just part of the shooting gallery. One small but nice thing was there's no regenerating health, there were few times i was on my last legs but came through, killed the beasts, got their animus energy and survived which felt good.

    Premise of the game in itself is interesting, but story is extremely generic, made worse by sub par dialogue and voice acting, making the serious tone of the game pretty cringy most of the time. Deckard himself has to be the most forgettable protagonist i've ever played as, even Kane & Lynch got more personality than this guy, rest of the cast dont fair any better.

    9 years on game's graphics havent aged that well, tho theyre servicable and wont make you puke, i guess back in 2008 it was decent looking game, but theres games from that time that have aged far better. Performance wise game ran at locked 60 fps on maxed settings, however there are no individual graphics options, just one slider ranging from Very Low to Very High, again showing simple straight up console port effort. At the end game i also ran into this game's infamous elevator bug which denied the progression, but it was fixed by simple change in game's config file as i found out on Legendary's Steam group's forum.    … Expand

    It's a great game for its price! I mean, it's not an AAA title, but what do you expect for a 0.5$? Worth the price for sure!

    This could well be a surprise hit for those willing to invest the time. Despite a lack of polish, there's a relatively deep story for fans of mythology.

    By the time I'd defeated my 10th werewolf, I was already tired of needing to cut or shoot its head off so it didn't regenerate. By the time I defeated my 200th, I just wanted to turn the game off.

    All things told, the game reeks of derivation.
