Alchemy is extremely difficult to grasp when the tutorials appear at the beginning of the game, but it becomes a little clearer after a while. The differentiator given to this commonly-used combat system is the addition of alchemy, a system based on the four stages of the magnus opus. In addition, attacking from behind or flanking opponents increases the damage dealt. There are healing, attacking, and buffing abilities, with some inflicting status effects such as bleeding, poison, or disease. Provided they have enough points, characters can move or undertake actions multiple times per turn. The use of items, however, does not cost any points. Each warrior has a range of movement, a set of abilities, and two slots for items. Before the battle begins, players deploy a party of four in the highlighted section, which changes depending on how foes were approached. The game includes a turn-based tactical battle system in which characters spend points to move and perform actions. The city itself is enough to create an immersive environment, but while the story is tailor-made for this place, it lacks something unique and noteworthy.ĭiverse objects and denizens are waiting to be found in every district. As the story progresses and districts become available, the secrets of the city are unveiled little by little. Since Grant is an enormous city, it is divided into districts, each with visual peculiarities and quests. Besides the main objective, players can freely explore the city and find people in need of assistance, completing errands that feature a vast array of historical elements.
The gang of heroes befriends a resistance group called the Gilded Claw that helps them by providing intel about the city struggling toward its salvation. These civilians, however, are hidden inside their homes because the streets are filled with threats: nekkers, hounds, and other creatures inspired by European folklore. Although Grant seems doomed, the band of mercenaries will try to rescue as many civilians as possible. The main objective is to find a way to dissipate the madness-inducing fog that covers the whole city. Then, this personalized warrior is tasked with leading a group of mercenaries to liberate the cursed city from cult followers, hostile fighters who follow the orders of Mephisto. Players create their own avatar by selecting gender, physical traits, and name. Although the story is about madness and destruction, the journey, which is well balanced between exploration and combat, is quite enjoyable and will satisfy tactical RPG fans and horror-game seekers.
It offers an immersive experience with many places to explore and sidequests, featuring cultists, deadly fiends, and mercenaries in turn-based battles. Inspired by the 17th-century folklore of Belgium and the Netherlands, Black Legend is set in the dark boroughs of the forsaken city of Grant.
