  • gameplay280 mentions

    The gameplay of the game is a mixed bag, with many players praising its rewarding combat mechanics, enjoyable crafting, and deep RPG elements, while others criticize its clunky controls, steep learning curve, and performance issues, particularly in VR. The combat is often described as fun and engaging, especially in multiplayer, but the game suffers from lag and inconsistent framerates due to its reliance on multiple programs. Overall, while the core gameplay loop and mechanics show promise, they require further refinement and polish to meet the expectations set by AAA titles.

    • “The swordplay feels great, while it doesn't have fancy things like being able to cut off individual limbs, the game more than makes up for it by having enjoyable parry mechanics and an exciting variety of enemy attacks.”
    • “This game honestly defines VR gameplay fully streamlined for its intended platform; the mechanics and physics are top-tier, and the gameplay is actually challenging and fun with the way it has you focus on fighting and learning the enemies' combos as well as a variety of weapons, classes, and ways to play.”
    • “The combat mechanics come in with timed parries causing knockbacks or stuns, and the concept of light and heavy blows.”
    • “The gameplay is clunky and very slow.”
    • “The bosses themselves are not bad, but the execution of how they act versus the gameplay given doesn't mix.”
    • “In Legendary Tales, 95% of the gameplay is boring, because 95% of gameplay is just pushing the joystick forward and hitting boxes.”
  • story133 mentions

    The game's story is generally considered light and underdeveloped, with many players expressing a desire for deeper narrative elements and more engaging quests. While some appreciate the basic structure of quests and the potential for immersive gameplay, others criticize the lack of meaningful lore and character development, often comparing it unfavorably to more story-rich titles. Overall, the story serves as a framework for gameplay rather than a compelling narrative experience, leaving players wanting more depth and refinement.

    • “I have recently completed the 1.0 release story and what an amazing ride.”
    • “Finally, a good VR medieval game with a real story.”
    • “Great environmental storytelling feels like I'm actually in a dark dungeon trying to find a way out.”
    • “The story is a little light; a cutscene here or there akin to Resident Evil or Diablo with a deep story would really elevate your investment in the game.”
    • “There is no map, and no quest markers, which makes navigation frustrating.”
    • “Having some story to follow or quests of some sort would really immerse the player in having a goal, but when it comes to the game, you're just thrown into a dungeon and you have to fight your way through to an end that is nowhere in sight.”
  • graphics86 mentions

    The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the quality of character models and combat visuals, while others criticize the environmental design as outdated and inconsistent. Many players note that while certain aspects, like lighting and textures, are commendable, overall performance issues and a lack of variety in aesthetics detract from the experience. Overall, the visuals are described as decent but not groundbreaking, with some users experiencing graininess and blurriness that impacts gameplay.

    • “The graphics quality is also one of the best in the VR space for fantasy games, which I was really happy they did not hold back on.”
    • “I was really surprised by the visuals - the dungeon levels are gorgeous, and the lighting looks great without burning my GPU.”
    • “The graphics are amazing and it runs on my PC very fast (I have a 1060); the only thing I wish for is more armor items such as a chest piece or pants.”
    • “Environmental graphics are pretty outdated - like a game from 1995.”
    • “The graphics are unbelievably bad, every single room is a literally flat square with 90 degree angles and no decorations or lighting.”
    • “It's extremely generic visually and lacks any real art style to it.”
  • music42 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its atmospheric qualities and its resemblance to the iconic music from the Diablo series, particularly in the town setting. However, criticism arises due to the repetitive nature of the soundtrack, especially in dungeons where music is often absent or limited to generic loops. Overall, while the music sets a fitting mood, players feel it lacks variety and depth, suggesting that improvements are needed to enhance the overall experience.

    • “The music is so good and sets the mood well.”
    • “If you enjoy Diablo (the good ones) style dungeon games, hunting for loot drops and expanding skills, then you will get your money's worth; the game is pretty, the music is fantastic.”
    • “The town and vendor, the style of art and breakables, and especially the music all closely resemble that of Diablo 1.”
    • “Not to mention, there's hardly a soundtrack... the village music instrumental can be repetitive.”
    • “I mean realistically, there's no music in your dungeons.”
    • “The music is quite repetitive too.”
  • stability40 mentions

    The game's stability is widely criticized, with numerous reports of bugs, glitches, and a generally janky experience that detracts from gameplay. Many users note issues with the user interface, quest interactions, and item handling, leading to frustration. While some players find enjoyment in the core mechanics, the overall consensus is that the game requires significant improvements to its stability before it can be considered polished or worth its price.

    • “Runs great, looks okay, with giant hub worlds to explore and a good fighting system.”
    • “It's not too buggy either; it just desperately needs more content and quality of life improvements.”
    • “I use Oculus Quest 2 through Virtual Desktop, and so far, there is no lag whatsoever; it runs great.”
    • “It's a buggy mess; the UI is amateur and extremely counterintuitive and hard to use.”
    • “Sometimes buggy with questing, interacting, and hitting (this is the VR jank).”
    • “There are a ton of glitches, enough to ruin my gameplay, and the lack of enemies is the real sticking point for me.”
  • optimization35 mentions

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews. While some players report smooth performance on modern hardware, others have experienced significant drops in frame rates and issues after recent updates, particularly on older systems. The developers' decision to revert from Unreal Engine 5 to Unreal Engine 4 has been noted as a positive step for performance, but many users still encounter optimization challenges, especially in specific areas of the game.

    • “Performance has been excellent so far on a laptop 3060 using a Quest 2 via cable.”
    • “Good optimization.”
    • “Performance is great and I did not notice any frame drops.”
    • “Update killed my performance and I can't play now.”
    • “Good god, this game is poorly optimized; don't bother adding more stuff if it runs at 40fps constantly.”
    • “I'm honestly glad that the developers decided to go through with this rollback to UE4 because I have personally had nothing but constant performance issues with UE5 VR games.”
  • grinding33 mentions

    Reviews highlight a mixed experience with grinding in the game. While some players find the loot and crafting systems engaging and rewarding, many express frustration with the slow character movement, tedious looting mechanics, and repetitive enemy encounters, which can detract from the overall enjoyment. Overall, the game offers a grindy experience that can be fun for dedicated players, but it also risks becoming monotonous due to its pacing and design choices.

    • “The crafting system immerses you in gameplay just right, striking a balance that feels rewarding without being too grindy.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “The new world is vast and full of new mechanics and things to enjoy, but your character's sprint speed is slower than a regular person walks, making travel tedious and every encounter much slower than it needs to be.”
    • “Looting is beyond tedious in a game about looting.”
    • “It gets tiring to fight the same skeletons over and over, and the fact that there are 5 or more of them in every room just makes it feel tedious to continue to play.”
  • atmosphere22 mentions

    The game's atmosphere has received mixed feedback, with some praising its dark, immersive qualities reminiscent of classic titles like Diablo, while others feel it has shifted towards a more cartoonish tone. Many reviewers highlight the improved environmental design, unique enemy encounters, and atmospheric lighting that enhance the overall experience. Overall, the atmosphere is described as engaging and enjoyable, effectively blending elements of tension and intrigue that encourage exploration.

    • “The atmosphere is fantastic.”
    • “It has great atmosphere, great loot drop mechanics, great combat feel, and great generation for the dungeon levels.”
    • “I understand the limitations of VR, but why bother having a dimly lit game that's meant to draw from the atmosphere of Diablo, in VR, if you're not going to have interactive light sources that can illuminate the dark passages?”
    • “I do, however, wish this level of polish went into the overall atmosphere of the game.”
    • “The atmosphere is creepy enough to be unsettling, but intriguing enough to make you want to push further.”
  • replayability21 mentions

    Overall, the game boasts high replayability due to its diverse character classes, random dungeon generation, and engaging combat mechanics, allowing players to explore various play styles and strategies. The inclusion of skill trees and online co-op further enhances the experience, making it enjoyable for both solo and multiplayer sessions. While some users noted a decline in difficulty compared to earlier versions, the game's content and humor still provide ample reasons to return for more playthroughs.

    • “The game is fun, replayable, and has a pretty decent amount of content.”
    • “With awesome shared physics, numerous combat styles, random weapon rolls, and randomly generated dungeons, I feel this game offers unlimited replayability and an overall amazing experience with friends.”
    • “The replay value of the game is pretty high and you can spend hours on end just mindlessly playing it.”
    • “Dungeons are well interconnected while random, and the replayability really sticks around as there are many silly and fun references throughout the game.”
    • “But little replayability.”
  • humor14 mentions

    The humor in the game is widely appreciated, with players finding comedic moments in the absurdity of combat mechanics, such as skeletons taking significant damage and goblins comically slamming into walls. The multiplayer experience adds to the hilarity, as unexpected bugs and shenanigans lead to laugh-out-loud moments. Overall, the game is recommended for those seeking a fun and lighthearted experience filled with amusing interactions and quirky physics.

    • “It's funny that stabbing a skeleton does a lot of damage.”
    • “Secondly, the fight mechanics and dungeon crawling is fun with friends, and the shenanigans you can get up to is downright hilarious.”
    • “Goblins are funny; they run away and often slam into walls comically.”
  • emotional4 mentions

    Players express a mix of frustration and immersion in the emotional aspect of the game, highlighting the intense and challenging combat that evokes strong feelings. However, issues such as weapon handling and cumbersome mechanics detract from the overall experience, leading to moments of annoyance that can disrupt the emotional engagement.

    • “It's hard-going, hard-won combat that no VR game I've played has made me feel before.”
    • “Being forced to listen for the 'click' before knowing that you can grab the ledge sucks, especially when it appears that my hands are touching the object in question.”
  • monetization3 mentions

    The monetization of the game is viewed positively, with players appreciating the developer's commitment to a fair pricing model and the absence of aggressive microtransactions. At $55, the game is considered a good value for its extensive content, especially compared to higher-priced titles from larger companies that often include additional monetization strategies.

    • “I'd buy this game 5 times over just to support this developer since he/she seems to genuinely care for his creation and isn't trying to squeeze every last penny out of you with microtransactions.”
    • “Another VR cash grab?”
    • “As for the price, $55 is really not a lot for a handmade, feature-complete RPG that will last you many tens of hours; especially in the age where huge companies that don't need the money will demand $80-$90 and still fill the game's store with microtransactions.”
  • character development1 mentions

    Character development in the game has received positive feedback, with players appreciating its solid foundation alongside combat and loot mechanics. Despite some criticism regarding repetitive elements, the overall character progression and movement systems are viewed favorably, contributing to an engaging gameplay experience.

    • “Although the largest complaint appears to be the repetitive enemies, props, and textures, I think they did better than I expected on the foundation of the game: combat, loot, character development, movement, AI (which includes a decent sneaking mechanic!), and multiplayer.”
