Is The Book of Legends worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players seeking a long fantasy RPG with many areas and side quests rather than a brief adventure.
- RPG fans who want to switch among a large cast of playable characters.
- Players interested in story choices and multiple endings rather than a fixed narrative.
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a tightly focused, short campaign may find the stated 60-hour playtime and more than 300 areas too sprawling.
- Players who prefer a small, fixed cast may find switching among more than 30 playable characters cumbersome.
- Players looking for a puzzle game rather than a role-playing adventure.
Our take on The Book of Legends
The likely sticking point is the breadth of the campaign: players who want a compact route may hit a wall when the game opens into more than 300 areas, side quests, and secrets. The large roster can also make party choices a recurring part of play.
