Get personalized picks →Legendary is a 2008 first-person action game where mythological creatures have been unleashed from Pandora's Box in a modern city setting. Players control a thief who inadvertently triggers this catastrophe and must fight through werewolves and other legendary beasts using force powers to push enemies back. The game features a destruction system where mythological creatures tear cities apart during combat sequences, alongside a healing mechanic tied to an animus meter with a checkpoint-based progression system. Players describe the Greek mythology storyline as having b-movie storytelling qualities, and reviewers highlight the handcrafted lighting and atmospheric tone throughout. The action is challenging, the campaign is short, and the experience is best suited for short bursts of solo gameplay. Legendary is currently playable on Steam Deck at $5.99 and holds a 57% positive rating from over 1100 Steam reviews.
About Legendary: All creatures of ancient myth, legend and lore are real they've just been sealed away for thousands of years inside Pandora's Box, waiting... When a thief named Deckard is hired to steal an ancient artifact, he unwittingly triggers a war between man and myth.
