    This game really caters to a niche and is certainly not for everybody. A main city acts as your hub as you venture off into instanced linear environments on very standard and sometimes lengthy quests. Very reminiscent of Monster Hunter, but in setup alone. The combat can feel clunky and isn't as satisfying as it should be.

I really hope the LoA devs continue to improve and expand on the game because there is a lot of potential here, it is just yet to be realised.… Expand

    So, I played about a half hour of the game, and in this time I found that the abilities are ridiculously over powered one rocket blast blow kills most of the minions the turrets are clunky and the monsters run up to you so you cant shoot them anyway it has a ton of potential, but they did not realise it the skills themselves don't have a lot of variety, and I don't feel the need toSo, I played about a half hour of the game, and in this time I found that the abilities are ridiculously over powered one rocket blast blow kills most of the minions the turrets are clunky and the monsters run up to you so you cant shoot them anyway it has a ton of potential, but they did not realise it the skills themselves don't have a lot of variety, and I don't feel the need to continue pushing though the game because there's no new next skill I look forward too..why do I care about the next skill when its the same as the last one, and the last one already kills everyone? with that said maybe with some updates it could be better for now my rating is 50/50… Expand

    Legends of Aethereus is flawed, but not to the point of being offensive or terrible. While the setting is interesting, the weak combat and poor level design make it hard to recommend. You can experience everything the game has to offer in a couple of hours, and for an RPG that's never a good thing.

    All in all, Legends of Aethereus was a frustrating game to play; it failed to really innovate anything besides a crafting system – which is like buying a car because the cup holders are really big…. Kind of missing the point.

    Perhaps one of the game’s biggest failings is its price - at US$29.99, you can twice buy Mount & Blade, which does everything Aethereus does but in a much more polished way.
