Similarly, enemy characters only appear on their own, until you engage in combat, at which point they're joined by two allies, making most fights a three on three affair. As you move around the game world, you only see Astrian other members of the team don't appear until you enter combat. Meanwhile, dragging anywhere else will alter the camera angle. There is a virtual thumb stick on the right or left (depending on your preference) to make Astrian move around. The game controls will be familiar to anyone who has used contemporary dual stick console controllers. Don't get me wrong, this is a time saver, but it also reminds you that there's no exploring to be done, you are on a set course of actions, which you have to stick to. While you can run around (and ride creatures) in amazing 3D environments, you always have an arrow telling you where to go. During the course of the game, you'll pick up various potions, including those for health and mana, which can top up your levels, or help out a member of your team, during combat.Įxample of the combat interface in Eternal Legacyĭespite the impression given by the glorious graphics, Eternal Legacy is fairly constrained. For those not familiar with RPGs, mana is the magical resource needed to perform special abilities. Speaking of which, each character has a health and mana which they need for combat, represented as bars in the bottom right corner of the screen. Every time the team gets into a fight, each member earns experience points, which helps them advance to higher levels, which in turn unlocks new combat abilities.

In each animation the characters are voiced by actors, but there are subtitles too. If you have the patience to sit through them, they can help you to become more absorbed into the game's world. Finishing the party is Lysty, daughter of an Algoadian general, who joins Astrian to find out the truth about what is happening to the people her family rules.Įternal Legacy's plot unfolds via set-piece animations in regular intervals through the game. He's accompanied by Taric and Shira, a brother and sister from a village which has also been mistreated by the Algoadians. Carrying a chip on his shoulder ever since Algoadian police persecuted his parents, he's on a quest to find Varsh Stones, which are the primary source of energy in their world.
