The Pokémon IP has a unique sort of universal appeal. On PC, for example, people tend to go nuts over games with a similar subject matter. This is - of course - owing to the fact that there are no official Pokémon games on PC. Re: Legend aims to right that wrong. Best of all, you can get it at a 17% discount here at 2Game!

While monster breeding and battling certainly do play a role in Re: Legend, that's not all the game focuses on. Instead, there's also farming to worry about, as well as real-time action-oriented combat. This is a combination of a wide variety of genres, and we're happy to report that it all meshes together rather nicely.

Having only just released in Early Access, this is still a work-in-progress, which is important to keep in mind. Players are currently struggling with performance issues, but we've no doubt the developers will fix these as soon as possible.

What are People Saying about Re: Legend?

re: legend

We've seen some really raving reviews for Re: Legend on Steam. While comparisons with Stardew Valley are a common sight, players also cite Harvest Moon and Monster Hunter as clear inspiration for the developers, Magnus Games Studio. It would be difficult to come up with a better selection of fan-favorite games for the devs to look up to, even if we really tried! Add Pokémon to the mix, and you've got something that hasn't been done often on PC at all.

Generally, people have been praising the amount and variety of content available in this game. There's an abundance of different features working together to create an experience that's both new and well-established at the same time. Take the eponymous monsters, for example. The Magnus. These beasties represent an ever-present and ever-evolving part of the game world that you yourself get to shape. You can take them into combat, ride them, have them keep you company. Your Magnus connects you to the game world, and that's what makes for authentic gameplay experience.

The caveat is that Re: Legend has only started its Early Access life-cycle. Technical difficulties, for example, are a given. Developers seem to be quick to respond to issues and deploy bug fixes, so we've got some very high hopes for Re: Legend in a year's time or so. At the moment, it's worth noting that the game requires a rather hefty gaming machine. Check out our graphics card guide for 2019 to get a sense of what sort of GPU might work!

Why Should You Play Re: Legend?

re: legend

There's a whole lot of reasons to be looking into Re: Legend! Here's just a few of our favorite features in the game:

  • Creature taming and combat, with a complex growth/breeding mechanic.
  • An extensive farming system.
  • Classic, tried-and-true RPG mechanics.
  • Upcoming multiplayer.

Most notably, the only real issues that people have been reporting are related to technicalities such as bugs and performance anomalies. With the game being an Early Access release, it is a given that the developers will attempt to resolve these when the time comes.

This is one of the main reasons why they're even going with an Early Access release in the first place. Those of us who are interested in Re: Legend already can join in and provide feedback to the developers. Bugfixing and issue resolution are going to be an integral part of this process, of course.

If this is something that sounds enticing to you, check out Re: Legend right here at 2Game! We've got the game offered at a 17% discount, so now might be the time to see what this is all about. If you decide to take the plunge, be sure to let us know what you think of the game, too!
