The Action Adventure Title ‘The Untold Legacy’ is Now Live on Kickstarter

A world full based upon the player’s decision

As the gaming industry continues forward through its ever-expanding library, certain classic games are being countlessly recreated with developers own unique take on the genre. The Legend of Zelda is one such title, being consistently re-hashed or heavily influencing a large portion of indie, or even AAA titles today. The Untold Legacy, which is now live on Kickstarter, takes major notes from the Hyrulian hero saga, and brings its own twists to the beloved genre of adventure games.

Rich with story and full of adventure, The Untold Legacy takes place in the fantasy world of Loomia. The colorful world combines plenty of elements found in popular games today, with a strong focus on deep story telling. Explore the charming world of Loomia and uncover the journey that awaits our hero in The Untold Legacy.

As a young boy from a secluded village far away, you will discover mysterious messages, which in turn leads him on an adventure like nothing before. The village lay surrounded by a curse, forbidding any of the villagers from leaving the seclusion of their small town. Upon discovering the strange messages found around the village, the only child of the village begins to embark on a journey to save his home from the curse that haunts the town.

Through lush landscapes and vivid scenery, you’ll battle your way through an open world environment in search of hefty rewards, dangerous quests, fending off evil monsters and explore the lands of Loomia.

Much like the Zelda’s of the gaming industry, the lands are riddled with plenty of wild places to explore and conquer, especially the likes of dungeons.

True freedom to explore to the player’s content is a huge asset for this young indie game.

With limited guiding from the game itself, players are pushed to set out and explore like no game in its class before.

While early one you may cower from beasts, as you develop your personality, your hero will soon show less fear, and more physical prowess. Everything from how much of the map is uncovered, to the amount of near-death experience encountered add up to your growth as a hero.

The process of building your character and increasing their strength throughout your journey will also develop the player as well. Upon receiving strength the hero will gradually show physical growth and stronger attack animations. From start to finish players will feel as though their players have grown from a newbie adventurer, to a seasoned, strong hero.

Throughout the freedom of Loomia, you’ll not only roust about with expertly crafted combat manuevers, but traveling from point A to point B in a variety of different ways. Riding a mount, climbing, running, taking ferrys or even swinging are all viable methods of traversing the open world.

As you traverse the lands many items may be discovered which will assist our warrior further on their journey.
