Maiden: Legacy of the Beast
The fever of video games of celebrities and celebrities seems to have only just begun. After the Kardashian, Katy Perry or Britney Spears star in their own game, now it's the famous metal group Iron Maiden those who make the leap. Of course, it is far from the mechanics seen in the titles of the pop divas, focusing in this case on the turn-based strategy and a somewhat darker approach .
In this title we control Eddie, a skeleton well recognizable by fans of the group Iron Maiden, who will remember him from album covers like Powerslave, Killers, A Matter Of Life And Death and The Number of the Beast Thus, the main mission is to recover and rebuild the soul of this character, who must wander around the world, through time and space, fighting against all sorts of enemies to achieve that goal. A somewhat crude but valid excuse to enjoy fighting in different environments and against all kinds of monsters.
Regarding the mechanics of the title, this is a game of turn-based strategy That is, like the Final Fantasy classics, for example. Thus, we will have all the time in the world to plan a strategy and choose what type of attack is the most appropriate in each situation and against each enemyAfter performing an action, it is the enemy's turn to carry out his offensive.
The game presents a basic scheme of attack, defense and special attack Of course things get more complicated as you progress through the title and they are recupperating talismans and fragments of Eddie's soul In this way, it is possible to boost their attacks or add new abilities and special attacks depending on the talisman equipped. In addition, with the experience gained after combat, the player can invest said points and other resources to evolve the abilities and qualities of the main character We must not forget about the souls collected after combat, which allow us to summon allied characters to help us in the battles
The fun thing about this title, which collects well-worn mechanics in mobile and video console games, is that it is inspired, based, and located in the visual and sound universe of Iron MaidenThus, we find many of the characters on their covers directly in the title. The settings, macabre and dark, could well serve as a background for one of their LPs. But it's the music that makes this game experience round. On the one hand we find well-recognizable melodies from the group On the other, there are new unpublished music and other songs adapted directly for the game. Something that the followers of the group will know how to enjoy as they progress through the story.
At a graphical level, the game presents remarkable character models, with well-represented environments, but somewhat poor in detail. However, the characterization and the universe Maiden remain well constituted.
In short, a game for the followers of this group, although not for those passionate about strategy and role-playing. And it is that it presents few incentives for the most gamers.A gaming experience that only fans will know how to get the most out of. The good thing is that Maiden: Legacy of the Beast is available for free in bothGoogle Play as in App Store Of course, it has integrated purchases that can go up to 100 euros
