Brutal Legend is a non-stop ass-kicking, side-splitting game that brings forward innovative gameplay and a land steeped in Metal lore. The Characters are lifelike, and the writing witty, but still funny to the layman. The humor starts to taper off at points, but overall, it's a hysterical experience. The world is the most metal in video game history, and the art direction is simply beautiful.
This game is the embodiment of all things metal, and it rocks harder and louder than any before it. It opens up a whole new subgenre and method of gameplay: a kind of music RPG/RTS. There is almost too much to talk about in this game, and if you really want to know about it, play it. For Metal fans, or even those who are just interested, this is a must-play.
Prepare to headbang your way into glory with these metal-infused games. You'll find yourself flipping your hair in pure excitement.
The Humble Day of the Devs Bundle 2022 just launched. It includes sixteen items including Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Broken Age, and more.
The world of Brutal Legend looks like something a 14 year-old metal head would draw on their notebook while not paying attention.
Liked the aesthetic, tone, humor, and action combat.
Didn't care for the RTS elements.
Never cared to finish it.
Yeah they marketed the game like it was a Heavy Metal GTA-ish adventure. And at the beginning of the game that's what it was. The game fell apart when the half-baked RTS stuff came in. I'd be interested in a reboot or sequel, but just go full action adventure and ditch the RTS. There really is something there with the Heavy Metal theme.
PS360 gen was special, then again it was still the mid 2000s. Everything went to shite in the teens
I think that was the breaker for Doublefine's creative ambitions and their mixing of genres (which was getting kinda stale). It was a nice to look at but it was more of a tribute to the many things Tim loves, was influenced by and has great admiration for....but the forced RTS stuff was like a drinking buddy's "great idea" that never should have come to light. The game seemed a lot more vast, but it ended pretty quickly too. And Jack Black. As much as I don't care for him as an actor (annoying and requires constant attention), this was absolutely made with him in mind and it worked. I mean come on, Tenacious D? For as Metal as this game was trying to be, even comically, it did little more than meow.
I was happy to find out BL's sold more units than UC2 so far. This game deserves it more than any other this gen. Also to anyone who played the demo and based their view on the game off that, the demo does not do the game justice at all. There's so so much more to the game.
White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes, he killed our creed
He took our game for his own need!
"Brutal..."
demo ruled
Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom a stab in the back
Women and children and cowards attack
RUN TO THE HILLS RUN FOR OUR LIVES!!
