Ren'Py - What a Legend! [v0.7.03] [MagicNuts]

[v0.5.01]

What a Legend! was a pleasant surprise, as I typically have no love for the 2D point & click genre (just far too many mediocre ones spoiled it). Yet this managed to capture that almost nostalgic feel of the early greats


H-scenes
Overall the animations and statics are simply beautiful. It's clear as day that the couple/team of MagicNuts have poured a lot of time, love, and care into each.

The "worst" complaint you will find is that due to said attention and care, there's a decent bit of downtime between updates. But what's there and planned is certainly enough to show this is worth the wait

Pure vanilla in terms of kink variety at the moment, but with some planned on the way from the looks of it

In conclusion: If you want to play a 2D point & click adult game, that harkens back to the flash games of old, but with incredible artwork and a sprinkle of meta-humour. Play it

Probably the best art of 2DCG games I have ever played
Female characters are designed to be very attractive
And I think it is generally acceptable to the public
Although MC also has the typical big dick(I'm a fan of this)
But it doesn't make people feel bored or unchanged

The plot is humorous and engaging

The process of solving the puzzle is not too difficult
Even so, the game is very generous and clear in terms of hints

It is great that there is also a scene playback function
Although it can be seen that many characters have not yet finished sex scenes
But you can find the sex scenes are very rich

The only fly in the ointment is no voice actress
Not even having sex sound effects

From the very start this game impresses with it's art, the best i've seen in any 2d game. In terms of gameplay there is no grind or minigames to distract you, and there are zero bugs I encountered.

Story (both main and side-stories) is great and consistent. There is enough mystery and world-building to keep you interested! One of the best things about this game is how they blend the main story with side ones for example: something you unlock in the main story is used in a girl's route and but has different variation if you haven't progressed the main story.

This shows me how passionate and dedicated the developers are to prevent inconsistencies and immerse players.

Story/Art/Gameplay are top tier without issues, it's very rare to see a game balance all 3 well. Well deserved 5/5.

This game is one of the best I've played. The art is just beautiful. It is funny and entertaining. I played both on Android and Windows with (almost) no issues. It looks to me that a lot of content is in the works and I looking forward to updates.

The production value on this game is utterly phenomenal. I have rarely seen art this good. The story is fantastic, the dialog is great, and I am enjoying the game greatly.

This games invokes nostalgia with the point and click adventure, but does it better than any triple A point and click game I ever played. I have also never encountered a bug in this game, it is clear that there is actual playtesting involved before release.

Standout character drawings.

The quality of the stills doesn't quite carry over into the animation but it's good enough that I don't think it really matters that much.

Story is good and the characters are distinctive both in writing style and visually. Writing is also of good quality.

Perfection. Incredible art, great models, interesting story, humorous, fun gameplay. The developers make great decisions constantly. First game I showed my wife and she's a fan, that's how good this game is.

good fun game....like i really enjoy it.the graphics brings me back to my childhood days .The map is fun with many locations too explore
The story is fun and a laugh at times

...BUT months go by without an update.
waaaay to long for a 2dcg game hence the average score

Art and Details:
The game has an amazing art direction, the animations are fantastic, every detail is spectacular. It's remarkable how careful the developers are with this game.

Gameplay and Optimization:
In all updates, the game rarely has any bugs, this is very unconventional, congratulations to the developers. The game's optimization is incredible, extremely fluid and has no crashes, even on older computers.

Game Plot:
By far one of the best stories I've seen in games of this genre, if not the best.
The story is funny, the fantasy universe is unique and spectacular, I look forward to more updates.

Wonderful art and a witty story full of humor, this game goes far beyond established expectations. The only downside is that the updates are not as frequent as they should be. I'm looking forward for more content.

What a Legend!ary game! Another rare entry to a tiny selection of games I wish I could give a 6 out of 5. It's just that good.

What a Legend brought me back to that relaxed cozy feel of adventure games of yore (King's Quest, Kyrandia, or Broken Sword to name a few). But now with porn! The perfect way to dream away the winter cold. Almost hard to believe only two people primarily made it.

The 2D hand-drawn art is just gorgeous, and the quality and consistency is just nuts (MagicNuts). Lovingly crafted and beautifully detailed environments, map, and let's not forget the cast either. WAL also totally nails the light-hearted adventure vibe, featuring great writing with a nice dose of comedy, fourth-wall breaking, pop-culture referances etc. without going too heavy on the comedy. And yeah, it even throws in an actual interesting plot with interesting and likable/hateable (as appropriate) characters. It's not like it's trying to be Game of Thrones or anything, but I genuinely want to see where this goes in future episodes.

As for the sexy-times, it's plentiful and hot of course. Fairly vanilla mostly, with an Orc bj, as well as a certain side quest involving a pair of beer-enchanted (I'm guessing) goggles - currently ranking highest on the kink-o-meter.

The gameplay itself is fairly simple, but fun. There's a map and you move around on it. You advance the plot mainly by clicking hotspots in the right place at the right time. You can tackle side quests out of order and at your own pace to some degree, but ultimately there is a single linear path to follow. And I think that's perfectly fine, not everything needs to be a VN with branching (and more often than not: nonsensical) paths. I perhaps could have wished for a bit more in the puzzle-department, at least for side quests, and for the inventory to be utilized at least a little bit to make contraptions out of illogical ingredients - adventure style - but I'm picking nits here. Perhaps in future versions?

To summarize, I loved every minute of this game and can't wait for more. Was really sad when, to my great dismay, it turned out the game didn't go on forever...

If it was possible i would give this a 3.5*. The one annoying thing for me is that the MC acts like he has a mental issue. i do not find this appealing.
The animations and art however are super hot! the writing is so so and the story is basic and safe. i fell that with this setting the devs could have went a step further to really separate this game from the other kinds of games out there.
The animations and art however are super hot and i understand why most people only care about this. i am tempted to give 4* and might in the future.

The art is superb, the animations are clean, the story is original and the writing/dialogue is excellent. I originally played this about a year ago (0.5.01 at time of this review), and the amount of new content since then has surpassed any expectations.

What a legend..... Ahhh...

How do I even begin?

It's a novel, yet it's also a work of art. It depicts genuine attraction and romance.

It's a mash-up of humour and fantasy. A sweet and innocent story with a splash of hilarity.

There are no grinds or attention-seeking activities. I'd say it's almost elemental.

And yet delivering the most unique emotions.

I'm not afraid to say, "I wish it were true, I wish it was me in his place."

And believe me, I'm NOT talking about sex only, though it helps to make it REAL.

The artwork is outstanding, and compliments to the coder for coding those precise features - the expressions and specific eye glances, a realistic execution.

Writing and directing are two of the most appealing characteristics that link all skills together.

I'm not sure how many of you are working on it, but I'd want to thank each and every one of you for your efforts. (Please let me know if this is doable.)

You should be proud, and you should know that your creation brought me much delight.

I shall remember this gem till the day I die, as someone who lives in a miserable situation and writes from a third-world country.
I'm sure I'm thinking of you people and exclaiming, "What a Legend."

One of the best games I've played! Excellent animations! Awesome story, great characters! Always waiting for the next release! This game have the best gallery system i've seen! Congratulations! Keep up the good work!

Amazing quality. Beautiful and unique gfx. A nice change of pace from all the generic models of renpy games. Fun characters and world. Good humor, reminiscent of Terry Pratchett. Definitely deserves all the praise. I only wish updates were more frequent

This game is just all-round high quality. Everything from the art, the writing, the story, the gameplay, everything oozes charm and polish. So much high quality and stunningly beautiful artwork, packed into the game and enhances the narrative and mood oh so well, and all characters look and feel distinct due part to their personality and artwork. Characters are well-written and likeable, characters whom you are supposed to hate are written convincingly and not just being the trademarked bad guy™. Main character isn't deep, but his motivations aren't unrealistic and come as a result becomes relatable. Minor side characters also get their own moments and receive some character building, which makes it feel all the more real. There are jokes scattered all over the game, from funny dialogue and interactions to achievement names. Overall, definitely worth your time to check it out, and absolutely a deserving of your support, monetarily or otherwise.

This game is high quality.
First off, the art is beautiful. You can tell the developers put a lot of love into the game.
The story and characters are interesting and sexy, and most importantly unique. Each stands out not only in design but also in station and demeanor.
It is nice to have a step away from the usual "my step sister and best friend want my dick" type character.

Incredible game. Maybe the best light hearted, fun erotic game out there. There isn't much to hate about it. The graphics (or should I say masterful artwork) are the best I've ever came across in an erotic game. I'd love to join a masterclass on how these were done and animated. The story is fun and the sidequests are so good that I forget about the main story. I absolutely love it. Thanks you MagicNuts, for making this. For me it's probably the best and most ambitious and fun erotic game. The dialogues really have the right length for me to read them.

it's a really good game, a little grindy at times but fun.

What would make it a 5 star is if it offered more variations in genres. It's very vanilla and predictable at the moment.

What separates linear games from the masterpieces in my opinion is the games where your choices really matter and you can end up with drastically different paths. That is not the case here.

It's more a "fetch these things to unlock vanilla sex scene with hot chick who praises your big dick". Rinse and repeat.
It's well done but could be a bit more ambitious
