Before I give you my take on this game let the following be known.

  1. I love almost all mythology
  2. I enjoyed BulletWitch
  3. I was really, looking forward to this game

With that being said lets begin, as I stated above,  was really looking forward to this game, but as soon as I put it in and starting playing I was instantly disappointed.  The graphics were sub par and the feeling of the game really felt cheap, I don’t know how to describe it, but it had the same feel as Bullet Witch, it was a B game, simple.  I almost just turned it off and wrote the game off as a failure, and I wouldn’t be the first, almost every review I have seen has said how horrible the game is, granted some of the reviewers actually thought the dev was trying to make a statement by calling the game “Legendary” but no, they were referring to the story of the game, which is all about Pandora’s box being opened in modern times.

You can see why this game interested me, being a fan of mythology and hearing of a game being made that revolved around Pandora’s box was such a great idea….

Ok, so it’s a B game, the story really is shallow and the graphics leave a lot to desire, but Odin help me I got sucked into the game and actually finished it, there was something, and I don’t know what, but something drew me into the game enough to allow me to finish it and enjoy it.  Maybe it was all the creatures and the short messages you get about their mythology, or maybe it was the constant werewolf attacks…or maybe it’s because I have been reading the Anita Blake series and the game just went well with it.  Whatever it was, I did enjoy it and thankfully the game only took about 6 hours to finish.

So yes, this game is a B game and I wouldn’t recommend it to most, but if you like Mythology and you have a few hours to kill, give this one a rent, otherwise go ahead and skip this one, you aren’t missing much.
