The Legend series, as one of the pillars of classic JRPGs, has had a long time to develop from 1995 to the present, and the number of works is also very large, from the early 2D graphics has been progressing to today’s 3D graphics. And uphold a strong anime style of painting and the smoothness of the real-time combat is quite high, as well as emphasize the partner team. The popular and approachable style and easy-to-follow content have made this series supported by many players who love Japanese RPGs.

The latest installment in the series, Legend of Dawn, takes the theme of a planet called Dana being enslaved and dominated by another planet called Rena, and lets the protagonist and the crowd embark on an adventure to fight against tyranny for the sake of freedom. With excellent graphics and awesome battle scenes, this game will easily win over players who love action role-playing games.

The fact that it won the TGA Best RPG of 2021 award is a testament to the excellence of this game. However, there are still many gamers who are dissatisfied with this work, even mocking it as a bad work. So how is the real performance of this work? This time we will talk about this new era of high score JRPG.

As with the Legends series, there is not a lot of correlation between the series, so both old and new players will be able to get into the storyline of Legends of Dawn right away. Playing the entire game is like watching a full-length Japanese anime. The richness of the characters’ body movements and facial expressions provide wonderful real-time algorithms that are quite pleasing to the eye.

Although the story is single-linear and not an open map, the scenes are designed with great care, from dry rocky deserts, to cold snowy lands, to windy prairies and magnificent cities and palaces, each map has unforgettable scenery, and is rich in variety, so players can’t wait to travel to the next area to check out the scenery! Why.

For those who love Japanese anime, Legend of Dawn’s art quality will surely satisfy players with this imaginative fantasy world. On the one hand, it has superb animation by Flying Saucer. On the other hand, this game uses the Unreal 4 engine to produce highly detailed graphics, plus the team has developed a technology called Atomos Shader, so that the rendering style of the anime has been upgraded to a higher level, and the lighting and shadow effects of the scenes and the reflections of the characters’ clothing, armor, and weapons are all very beautiful.

Compared to the previous Legend of Berserkers, the overall graphics have improved and matured visually. The main characters of Legend of Dawn are also very distinctive in their appearance, such as the protagonist, Orphen, who is a masked man with no memory and no sense of pain, and the female protagonist, Shenon, who is born with a curse that causes electrocution when touched, which is a perfect match for the hero’s painlessness and the heroine’s prohibition of touching. The hero’s painlessness is a perfect match for the heroine’s prohibition against touching, and the heroine’s ornate lance and regal attire reminds me of the Baroque art online game GE King’s Sword.

During the course of the game, the male and female characters will change their outfits according to their adventures, making it obvious that the main characters are growing up and wearing the appropriate outfits according to the story. In addition, the paladin-like armor and tight lines of the body of another female character, Chisalan, are also very stylish and sexy.

Like many traditional Japanese RPGs, Legend of Dawn has a simple and easy to use system that is not complicated, following the main storyline to advance the plot, fighting monsters in the field to upgrade and solve side quests to get rewards, and collecting materials to make weapons and equipment to strengthen the accessories. Combined with the easy-to-understand elements of running a ranch, finding owls, fishing, cooking food while camping, and playing in an arena, the game allows you to focus on the main story and the fast-paced combat. Even though the overall system is not very innovative, the quality of each part is high enough to give players a new taste of familiar RPG content.

Each character has an extensive skill set, with ground and air techniques that allow players to perform smooth combos in a fast-paced environment while battling enemies, plus the added bonus of cooperating with partners in combat maneuvers, which makes for a very impressive animation show. However, the sound and light effects are too colorful, resulting in the player and the enemy a lot of time, the fight may not be too clear to see the physical movement of wielding weapons.

The combination of traditional Japanese role-playing games and the advantages of anime artistry in one, so that the Legend of Dawn has a very high appreciation and entertainment, for me personally, is considered the recent after the Crimson Knot system, and then again play a very recommendable Japanese RPG, but the Crimson Knot system of the style of the more intense, do not see everyone can accept. The Legend of Dawn is a great game for players of all ages.

The game is more controversial is the DLC content is more than, there are a lot of are experience bonus send money and so on this kind of make the game difficult to reduce the combination of packages, but no matter how, or than the handheld game may spend tens of thousands of dollars or pumping their own want things better. For some players who have been disappointed with Japanese single-player RPGs, perhaps Legend of Dawn can restore your confidence and bring back the excitement and fun you used to have playing these games.
