Legacy of Discord: Furious Wings

Game overview

Legacy of Discord is an MMORPG that lets you make one important decision every time you sign on: would you like to fight demons, or other players? The game is equally adept at giving you both - you can play in a PvE story-like mode, or you can battle against others in the arena in round of PvP battles.

At the start of the game, you are given a choice of three characters to become: a male berserker, a sorceress, or a male bladedancer. Each comes with their own unique abilities and skills, and shows you from the start just how epic you could become. After that, the game jumps right into the action: the humans are losing the war against the demons, and you’re starting in the last place run by humans, Beacon City. You’re carried through for a while as part of a tutorial, which runs you through the paces of the game and on through the first chapter. After that you’re on your own, trying your best to level up your Battle Rating. This is what determines how strong you are, as well as what battles you will win or lose.

➔ Main points:

• Choose one of three powerful characters
• Upgrade your armor and equipment to make yourself stronger
• Play through quick chapters in both manual and automatic battle modes
• Play against others in the arena in epic PvP or PvE battles

Full review

Legacy of Discord has a lot of good things going for it. While it boasts itself as being the best RPG game for mobile, it might not be entirely wrong. While the game has competition from other free to play games, it’s starting off on the right foot. The game is solid, the story is good and the graphics are phenomenal.

Looks Good, Plays Better

The graphics are beyond spectacular for a mobile device. Even better, it runs easily on your mobile device without drawing too much power or memory. Even the loading pages are beautiful, and the animations during the battles are seamless and the same quality that you would find on a bigger console. Like many other MMORPG games, it also gives you gentle nudges to keep you playing and engaged.

When a game is as highly stylized as this one, it can be easy to see flaws that don’t hold up - luckily, this game has no flaws in anything visual, be it the levels, animations, or general style.

One area of graphics in particular where the game excels is in the actual visual design of the game. The costumes and pieces are well thought out, and when you upgrade your armor and equipment, you can see it from every angle. When a game is as highly stylized as this one, it can be easy to see flaws that don’t hold up - luckily, this game has no flaws in anything visual, be it the levels, animations, or general style.

Easy to Play, Challenge to Master

The actual controls of the game are quick to catch up on. Holding the device like the game console controllers of old, you’ll quickly find your left hand in charge of moving (much like a joystick), while your right hand controls your attacks. Picking different attacks is quick and easy, and has a timer that will count down until you can use that attack again. One of the downfalls of this setup is that when you’re in the heat of battle and slide your fingers too close to the outside, Samsung users will find themselves tapping the application button and forcing your epic battle to be paused, while your phone shows you every program that you have open.

From the very beginning, the tutorial takes care of you.

In terms of the levels and the actual game development itself, it’s easily accessible by everyone. There are only three real realms that you explore - Beacon City, the demon-ridden worlds (Furnace of Pain and other chapters where your gameplay take place), and the battle arena. Despite there only being three main worlds, there are constant areas being unlocked as you level up as well as updates that add layers and challenges. This means that even as you play, the game is reinventing itself into something new, making it always interesting and exciting.

Final Thoughts

Considering the vast selection of other RPGs out on the Android market, this one is definitely setting out to make its mark. One of the final bonuses to the game is its constant updates and developments, which is common when a game is still within its first year of being played. Still, with having such amazing graphics and easy gameplay, it really does have something for everyone.
