[PC] FREE Brutal Legend @Humble Bundle
- Thread starter BernardoOne
- Start date
Awesome! I always meant to grab this on 360 but for some reason never got round to it... Had no idea it even came out on PC tbh.
Thanks! :D
Thanks! :D
I hate this game.
That demo on the PS3 was such a bait-and-switch.
Would never have bought it if I had gotten to the whole RTS mechanic.

Humble Bundle regularly offers free games( Killer is Dead was free a few days ago).
One of my favorite games of all time. If you've got any love in your heart for games that dare to do things differently, you need to try it. And now you've got no excuse not to.
The stage battles are what make Brutal Legend. They were the idea that the entire game sprang from, and they're what makes it so unique.

This.
They're so awesome. Start with battling alongside your units in hack&slash mode, fly up and command them. Make a flaming led zeppelin appear with a guitar rif, and then jump on a carriage and drive into battle once more.
Right. But 30 minutes is enough to see if you like the weird comedy rock opera story.
I have to agree there, if not for RTS sections it would have been just another forgettable 3rd person action game.
I've heard some diverse opinions on this. I've always thought it looked like a lot of fun. I'm excited to finally try it!
Played this when it came out with a friend on his x-box. He did all the RTS sections, because I really sucked at them. Something about playing an RTS with a controller just didn't click with me. But sometimes I still have a song from the soundtrack stuck in my head. Good times.
Might need to get it on PC, if only for the nostalgia

I think a lot of people struggled with the stage battles. It helps to not think of them as RTS segments; in the campaign at least, managing your troops rarely gets deeper than recruiting new units, followed by "go there", "stay here" or "attack that". Most of your time should be spent on the ground with any given group of units helping them kill or defend whatever you've pointed them at. Use lots of solos and team attacks and you'll be on easy street.
It plays well on PC too, especially with the bump to 60fps.
Well, it would still have Ozzy, Lemmy and Rob Halford in it, so it would not have been completely forgettable. :)
Overlooked gem right here imo.
But i have to say that it's at least 1/3 to short. The story ends to soon and you feel that they had to end there because of money/time reasons.
And EA didn't market it honest enough. So many people were pissed when it was more of a strategy hybrid and not a God of War/Viking: Battle for Asgard hybrid.
I liked it.
