We’ve had alien invasions, attacks from monsters underground, zombie infestations, and world-domination plots all threaten to destroy modern civilization unless we save it. Games designed to stoke our hero complexes tend to fill us with warm fuzzy feelings of accomplishment and enjoyment.

Legendary brings a new and promising idea to this theme by mixing Greek mythology and Da Vinci Code-like secret societies. It all sounds great, but will it be like Spark’s other great idea game Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty and fail to live up to its initial concept? In short, will the game really be legendary?

Let’s start with the somewhat fresh idea. You are a thief for hire who stupidly fails to do his research on a job for a secret society called the “Black Order”, releasing evil mythological creatures into the world by opening the ancient Pandora’s Box. Oops.
