PS3: Untold Legends Dark Kingdom Review



Any gamer can guess that the Playstation 3 is going to have some truly outstanding games. One of its first big launch titles was "Resistance: Fall of Man", which received excellent reviews and is currently loved by most PS3 owners. Another launch title that was supposed to get lots of attention and praise was "Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom", but that is not what has happened. Although the game does have some redeeming qualities, many believe that it could have been so much better, if given some more time.

"Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom" starts you on an adventure through the eyes of one of three different characters. Those three characters are the warrior, the mage, and the scout (or "rogue"). Although they may differ in appearance, the three of them have the same basic offensive and defensive abilities. Each hero will get basic strong and fast attacks, as well as their own special powers/spells. The basic melee attacks will be used to dispatch most enemies in the game, while the spells will be used in more hectic situations and to finish off weakened enemies. Four character spells may also be equipped and used at any time, but in order to use other powers/spell you need to switch them with your current ones.

The overall storyline of "Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom" has been well developed and most gamers would agree it is a pretty intense and interesting story. Dureth, your Kingdom, is being destroyed from the inside, by your very own king no less. You have been away from for quite some time and have heard of the corruption and dismay that has befallen the kingdom. After returning home, you can see that the king himself has been corrupted by an evil source. The kingdom's loyal citizens are being tortured and killed by demonic forces day in and day out. Finally, you have had enough and it is time to put an end to the corruption once and fall all. From then on, you begin a mighty quest to find out who has corrupted King Halaskar, what is making this corruption so strong, and then finally, you must destroy the source of the corruption and save Dureth.

Like many other RPG games, "Untold Legends" takes advantage of the "experience points" system. That means every time you defeat an enemy, you will be granted experience points. By accumulating enough experience points, you will gain a level and be able to increase some of your hero's attributes; such as magic power, melee defense, health, mana, attack power, spell power, etc.

New armor is always a must have in RPGs, as it allow the player to take on new challenges more easily. Well, there is armor and different gear in "Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom", but sadly it will not make your character look any different. This may not be a problem to some people, but many gamers find that with any new armor, the hero should have a new appearance. It just makes the game's adventure more visually pleasing and realistic. Another problem with "Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom" is the weaponry. Instead of allowing the Hero to use an assortment different weapons during combat, they only get one basic weapon from start to finish. However, that weapon can be upgraded throughout the gameplay using an assortment of different power gems.

The combat system in "Untold Legends" is not very complicated. This game is your basic hack and slash RPG in which you will do a whole lot of killing and crushing your enemies, and not a whole lot of thinking. Your hero's attacks can be strung together to make a nice set of high damaging combos, which will obliterate most incoming enemies. Top that off with one of your powerful spells, and you can take out a whole area filled with enemies in a matter of seconds. The sad thing about combat is that it can often get quite dull. This is because it feels like your doing the same thing over and over, with no real changes. It is a nice change with you start encountering new enemies, but that "new" feeling goes away when you start the same old hack & slash process all over again.

When it comes to the graphics and overall look of the game, gamers seem to have been let down; considering the power that the PS3 has. Thats not to say the graphics and visuals are bad, its just they lack the special something that most Playstation 3 games have. The details of the heroes and the enemy creatures, as well as the special effects, are pretty good and they make up for some of the visual let downs there are; but they can't make up for everything. The sound effects and music are pretty entertaining, but like the visuals, they can get rather repetitive after awhile. All in all, the graphics & sound of "Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom" have more of a PS2 feel then a PS3, but you can find that out for yourself while playing.

Even though "Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom" has not been real impressive, it has still shaped up to be a pretty good game. In terms of the Playstation 3 hardware and power, yes, it may have failed in that department. But, it is an entertaining RPG none the less, and it should (at the very least) give you a few hours of PS3 fun. It may not be on your "must have" list, but it should certainly be on your "must try" list.
