LEGRAND LEGACY: Tale of the Fatebounds

Infuriating at times. Also, why a game like this has no full mouse support? ★★✰✰✰

I backed this game on Kickstarter and I'm pretty pleased that I did. The story, characters, and music were very enjoyable overall. I also really enjoyed the battle system. The placement of your party members can be crucial for certain fights and the elemental weakness system kept combat fresh and engaging. The dungeons are all very small - usually only a few screens, but I think this is a good thing. It helps the pacing by focusing more on the story and battles and not having the player worry about getting lost. I also liked that the battles were initiated rather than random. On the graphics side, I particularly enjoyed the hand-painted backgrounds in this game. Sure, the character models look low budget (because they are), but the backgrounds are vibrant and beautiful at times. The story's pacing was overall solid and there were some nice twists and turns. I enjoyed the cast and thought they had pretty good chemistry. My main complaint with this game is the English translation makes dialogue awkward or janky. Characters speak in ways that sound unnatural at times and it made the character interactions less engaging. Still, despite the issues with the translation / script, I really enjoyed Legrand Legacy. My completion time was around 30 hours (I played off a physical USB stick I got as a physical reward tier for backing the game). I think it was time well spent and now I'm looking back on the game around 3 years later mostly fondly. I recommend it if you're looking for a solid JRPG experience if you're willing to put up with some low-budget jank here and there and a slightly awkward translation. I'd rank it a 75%. Not absolutely amazing, but definitely worth your time.

Played 150 hours on switch. There are a few things that could be polished up more, but if you like a game that you can spend countless hours grinding and gathering reagents then this is a gem.

搞不懂为啥这个游戏是褒贬不一，喜欢回合制游戏的人应该多少有些耐心吧，习惯操作之后玩起来甚至有些上头，非常不错的一款游戏。

Definately a great JRPG, A must try if you like the classic Final fantasy's etc

Hey would you look at that! It's not half bad!
