Champions of Legend Come Together In One of The BEST MMOs Around



There are so many good things about Legendary Champions Online I could talk about, and even better, so little bad things. In Legendary Champions, Heroes from myth, legend, and ancient history, come together under three emperors currently in a struggle against one another. Depending on which emperor you choose to fight for, you'll have the opportunity to interact with, and eventually play as different legendary figures, ranging from Dracula, to Beowulf, Joan of Arch, and even Mulan.





Mounts are introduced to you right off the bat, the moment you start the game your given a not half bad looking horse. (and unlike most other games the starter mount doesn't expire after a time period) during Closed Beta there was a lack of character customization, eventually they will open the Item mall which will most likely have unique costumes (bought with real money as everyone so infamously knows) to alter your apearance to your desire. What the game lacked in individuality in the fashion world, it made up for with almost fully customizable stats. Each stat had a perfect blend of individuality, AND similarity, allowing for the creation of a killing machine, or powerful healer made completely your way.

If there's any significant problem it's this: a lot of the quests require you to do an insane amount of killing, though this game in no way makes you grind for levels, having to kill anywhere from 40-60 (and even 100 at one point)monsters for one quest can get pretty redundant. Luckily the quest that requires you to kill a boss hardly ever requires a party, as your hero of choice (referred to as a "Guardian" in game) can effortlessly solo most quest related bosses. (Deities and event bosses, now those are a whole 'nother story)


Legendary Champions Scores an 7 out of 10 (3.5 out of 5)
I look forward to playing this game again when open beta starts, and I recommend it to anyone who reads this.
