Critic reviews
- 7.1Legacy of the Beast is a must-have game for any fan of the heavy metal group, as there are a ton of references to iconic albums and artwork as well as unreleased song versions. The game is light on the RPG elements making the mechanics accessible to newer RPG gamers. Legacy of the Beast, unlike its Android counter-part, requires a strong, high-end iOS device to run this game or you’ll face severe lag and crashing issues. Overall gameplay mechanics aren’t close to being deep at all.
- 8.0Ultimately, there’s enough here to remind you to come back for more, with its fan service being a particular delight, especially when it comes to offering previously unreleased tracks. However, even non-fans who enjoy a solid RPG should be able to rock out to what Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast has to offer.
- 8.0Overall, fans of Iron Maiden will probably love this game. if you’re not a fan of the band, it’s still a fun little bitesize RPG, which is ideal for the short-session nature of mobile gaming. You might not get all the references, but that’s unlikely to make the experience any less enjoyable.
- I guess if you’re after a free RPG-lite you could do much worse than Legacy of the Beast, although it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that the people to get the most out of it will be Iron Maiden fans. It’s just that without that connection to the source material you probably won’t find very much here to keep yourself occupied for very long, but, hey, it’s something different to Pokémon GO, isn’t it?
- Oddly charming, perhaps nostalgic, but pretty shallow and filled with free-to-play shenanigans.
