Legendary Gary

If you're looking to get weird you've come to the right shop window. The weird is in here. All of it. It's not the nonsensical kind of weird but the mundane kind that creeps up on you because this title has such a relaxed unassuming approach to telling it's story that your likely to fall right into the narrative without even trying and suddenly your in that hazy dream you can't ever remember when you wake up. -Essentially your playing in a frame story and it's a frame story that's really just another frame story in and of itself because of the almost 4th wall nature of playing a game about a guy playing a game and the things that go on in his life at the same time. -The artwork makes me think of a well illustrated childern's book if the illustrations where to start moving around on the page as you read it. -There's an interesting turnbased combat system that has both the player's turn and the ai's turn play out simaltaneusly. It's enganging enough to say i'm intrigued and impres...

Having played through this game, I can say that it works and is functional. The concept itself is interesting, but frankly I find no surprises or further interest beyond the introductory plot development. The story progresses in a manner that is rather easy to guess, and frankly the combat is as equally challenging. The aesthetics are as seen on display, it reminds me of a higher range flash based game. Which may be better phrased as, there is nothing I qualify as impressive or noteworthy in the quality of animation for this visual work. I don't expect this game to last more than, roughly, six hours on a single run for an experienced player. I haven't tried probing for multiple endings, or branching outcomes, but I suspect that it won't be particularly hard to reach a desired outcome for a first run through the game. The majority of content to play through doesn't appeal to me for replay value, so I'm not verifying if there are various good, or a true, ending. If I'm going to r...

First of all, the game is really short — all locations are shown in the trailer, though you'll visit some of them multiple times — and the ending may seem underwheliming because it doesn't solve the main mystery of the game. But thematically Legendary Gary is quite focused, the idea of "game within a game" which also crosses with reality as in Neverending Story is developed very well, and you may also have that "hey, this game is also like my life" feeling from time to time. The fights with simultaneous turns are quite interesting. There's not many of them, and most are easy (a couple are harder, more puzzle-like). It's also interesting how the characters' and enemies' (enemies often are characters too) skills and behaviour reflect their personas. Overall, nice little game.

This game is very short for the price point, it seems like most of the reviews at this point are from people who received free copies. A complete playthrough took me 4.1hrs. Other than that the gameplay was ok, but largely unremarkable. I enjoyed the art in the legend of the spear portions and the soundtrack was pleasant.

This game is pretty great. The art is fantastic, the music is awesome, the tactics style RPG elements are fun, and the story is intriguing. Heres a quick video of the first 20 min or so if youre curious about how the game is bot an RPG and a nerdy adventure game: https://youtu.be/OG4HHR8vEzQ

A quirky RPG obviously made with lots of love. Amazing artwork, soundtrack, gameplay, and story. I was immediately hooked.

Very creative game with an interesting puzzle-combat system. A fun quickie, but feels very short for $15, and the ending is underwhelming.

I don't know how to put into words how much I enjoyed this game. Not to mention the game within the game. Absolutely wonderful... even made me cry a few times.

Great art, music, and gameplay. The metaphors and parallels were done well- they made me *more* invested in the game.

A very unique game with a very personal feel. It seems too simple at first, but grows in meaning as you play. The dialogue connects very well, Gary's options for reply are often very poignant but also subtle at the same time. I found it very moving. The combat system became something different than I first expected, more of a puzzle of space and timing than a conventional RPG battle. I had a great experience with my first playthrough, and intend to begin again soon to see the consequences of making different choices.
