Our take on Legends of the Universe - Cosmic Bounty
Players who want immediate access to every route may hit the wall when exploration becomes dependent on collecting new abilities. Those expecting the previous hero’s moveset may also need to adjust when Jekt’s beam, gliding, and rapid-shot abilities replace Trion’s toolkit.
What is Legends of the Universe - Cosmic Bounty?
Play as Jekt, a bounty hunter pursuing the rebel General Volgat.
Explore connected areas, acquire new abilities, raise Jekt’s stats, and fight powerful enemies. Jekt uses abilities distinct from those of the previous game’s hero, Trion, including a beam attack, gliding, and rapid shooting. The game adds an expanded map, new characters, and a new story.
