DOS Specs

Description

Worlds of Legend is the follow-up to Legend.

The game is in essence the same as the former game - an isometric 3D RPG. It is now set in an "Eastern" environment but once again you take control of the four characters (Barbarian, Runemaster, Assassin and Troubadour), as you're required to solve puzzles and conquer dungeons. Again you can encounter hostile armies on the plains as well, but the landscape has changed.

A new feature allows you to import your characters from the original game, with all their gold, weapons and level enhancements, although you can generate them from the start again.

Legend for those who couldn't get enough of it...

The Good
You can bring in your Legend characters (after all, it IS supposed to be a sequel with the same guys) with all their gold & experience as they finished the first game. But the game is made harder if you do - no wandering around idly slaughtering millions of monsters. The puzzles are at least as tricky and lateral-thinking inducing (including one requiring you to slaughter most of your team - bizarre). Clear progression of the characters too.

The Bad
You characters DON'T bring their weapons with them if you import them - like somehow they all dropped off on their way over to the Empire from Trazere... One puzzle had me stumped for hours because a key was hidden under a rock (nothing else in either 2 games is EVER hidden under a rock). Without the taverns as a source of info (as in Legend), talking to "Aunt Sushianna" is vital, but there's just the one of her and getting to her past 4 lots of hostile armies is not my idea of fun.

The Bottom Line
If you want more after Legend, it's great. If you've never played Legend, it's great. Errr, basically it's great. One of the Amiga classics.
