The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A classic side-scrolling beat 'em up with retro pixel graphics and a medieval setting, where players fight through waves of enemies in a straightforward action brawler.

What players say

Players say Legend is a clunky and difficult Golden Axe-style beat 'em up that relies on constant jumping to survive. Fans of the genre appreciate the medieval fantasy setting and two-player co-op, but many find the controls stiff, the enemies too durable, and the lack of widescreen support and remote play a letdown.
