Grant’s status as a city-state started very early. It feels a lot like 17th century Italy, even though it’s based on the Netherlands/Belgium/Germany (and yes, I know, Belgium did not exist in the 17th century, neither did Germany). The story makes up for a lot of the hate I dropped in the above paragraph. I compliment them for taking the time to create such an elaborate system, but if the tutorial gives the player a headache by figuring out all the concepts, it does not stimulate them to play more of Black Legend. Combining certain colors creates new colors, which do more damage, but if you combine the wrong colors, the combo-damage won’t do more damage than usual.
I don’t mind a challenge, and I like the idea of alchemy added to my gameplay but keep it … doable. It gave me a headache – and not in a good way. When you want to play this game, you better take up a notepad in which you put down all the combos and options to take down enemies. Well, the tutorial throws everything I discussed in the above paragraph at you. Next is the option to add a wide array of classes to build a mercenary band from, each with unique abilities, with the ability to improve each of your mercenaries with new weapons, armor, and trinkets, and create your own ability sets by equipping cross-class abilities. Add up stacks of four different alchemic attacks to injure, poison, and debilitate your foes, but be warned, they will do the same to you. Combine this with the options to enhance your ranged and melee combat using alchemy for a wide array of explosive effects.
It felt a bit like the older Fire Emblem games’ elements or even a bit of XCOM thrown in. You approach each combat with a tactical focus, where unit placement, ability combos, and well-chosen attacks are key to survival. Let’s discuss gameplay first – Black Legend offers strategy-focused gameplay. Especially settings in which Nazi Germany won WO2 or in which the Americans discovered Europe is always good for a few hours of solid entertainment. Alternate history is a curse word with historians, but I enjoy it most of the time. Explore deep into the city to eradicate a madness inflicting fog that shrouds the streets in this thrilling alternate history turn-based strategy RPG.

And to make it full circle, the developer knew my editor in chief, small world, isn’t it. I lived a few years across the border and was pointed towards this game by a friend of mine, who knows one of the developers. True, I’m not from Belgium, and the folks from Warcave are, but the Netherlands and the Belgians have a tight relationship (or so I do hope). I always try to enjoy games from our ‘own’ soil more than other games.
