Average

I was really enjoying this game until I ran up against an wholly broken encounter. Eight enemies, five with greater initiative than myself, who boxed me into the starting area and peppered the area with fog grenades which prevented me from attacking but not them. Nothing like having to skip your turns because you cannot act and watching you entire party that you spent a couple days grooming get cut to pieces. Unbalanced, unfair, unfun. Pity really, because some genuine love went into the game. Writing is better than average, ambiance works, mechanics are a little convoluted but are at least interesting. . .But all of that is wasted if the majority of the game is filled with combat and those encounters are rigged.

So much missed potential

Black Legend is not a bad game, however it's not good either. The idea, combat, class system, story, "bloodborne" style - this was promising. Then we got the PS2 era visuals, bland quest, repetitive combat... The game is short and all bosses are actually easyer than most of the common enemies. Sorry, can't recommend

I enjoyed it, but it has issues.

The game feels bare bones in presentation. The world does convey a gloomy atmosphere but it's small. The story is thin. The map is not big, so exploration is limited. The characters are not memorable. The game can be repetitive with respawning mobs. But with all of this I still enjoyed the game. The game play made up for the games limitations. The battle system made it fun for me. The game was over priced but that price has gone down recently. It's not a AAA game, so go in with that in mind. I say try it if you like srpg's with better gameplay than story. Leveling up and party members don't really matter in this game. It's the classes and skills. The game could have been much better if it were more fleshed out, but it's not a dud, but it's not that good either. But I enjoyed it for what it was.

Kinda disappointed but hope it'll better

Not gonna lie, that price is overprice and this game is pretty bland and repetitive, content depth really literal...But weapons and classes choice, I must say is quite a lot. If this is action adventure type game, I will get this 4 star, but is turn based strategy... ....Nah Just hope dev can add more content in the future.

Shaky, but the Developers Care!

Intriguingly most of the major complaints people had about this game have been fixed! There's actually been a map added which is much appreciated, a bunch of fixes are still being made on unbalanced encounters, and it seems more stable and intuitive than ever before. This really feels like a labor of love constantly being tweaked. A lesser studio would have cast this game to the wolves given the chilly reception, but this is still not a terrible game at all. Music is nice. Voice acting is spirited. Atmosphere is rich and dark. But to be fair though, this is a diamond in the rough. This is not a speedy game and it has some shakier parts. The combat is INCREDIBLY involved with consideration for placement, weapon, abilities, and humors...which leads to the RNG issue. At times fights will seem impossible because the dice rolled poorly. Some aspects you cannot control and there's just too few options and materials to make it through every poorly fated encounter. This game might have worked better as a rouge lite give how often you will crash head first failure. Don't get frustrated. This is made to be tough. It reminded me a lot of games like Age of Decadence where there's a lot of situations you cannot overcome realistically or a bad roll leads to doom. Still and yet this is still an ongoing project, what's here is enjoyable in sprints, and I wish the best for this company that puts the customer over a quick cash grab.
