Destructoid writes: "Some of our European members might recognize Germany-based developer Master Creating and its action role-playing game Legend: Hand of God, which was warmly received when it released there last year. After receiving a positive reception in its home country -- such as winning Best RPG of 2007 at the German Developer Awards -- Legend will finally be making its way to North America when it releases on August 1 exclusively for the PC, thanks to publisher THQ.
I had the chance to talk with Master Creating's co-founder and creative director Jan Beuck about Legend's cinematic combat system, extensive character development, and why, exactly, the mouse cursor transforms into a light-emitting fairy."
Legend: Hand Of God has been added to the Steam store for US $19.99. Complete more than 30 challenging quests to find the three parts of the Hand of God amulet and save Aris from impending doom.
Legend: Hand of God isn't a totally awful game, but that said, it wasn't much fun. Multiplayer would help, but it's still a pretty paint-by-numbers action RPG in a world where the Diablo series is still on top. For $39.99, something this generic just doesn't seem that compelling.
