Legendary

About

Deckard’s heist goes sideways when he opens a literal can of ancient monsters. In this third person shooter, you battle griffons, werewolves and other mythic beasts rampaging across cities. Single player tasks you with containing the chaos while multiplayer lets you team up or fight others in combat modes. Gunplay mixes cover mechanics with supernatural threats that adapt to urban environments. Legendary leans into its myth-heavy premise with creature designs pulled from folklore. While not a impressive entry in the genre, its blend of structured missions and chaotic creature encounters earned a dedicated following. Community reviews note its solid but unspectacular execution, with many praising the eerie atmosphere of mythic beasts tearing through modern settings. Released in 2008, it remains a niche pick for action fans unafraid of slightly dated visuals.

Storyline

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. Griffons rule the skies, Werewolves tear the innocent limb from limb and cities are held under siege as creatures we'd dismissed as imaginings of our ancestors prove to be very real and very angry for being held prisoner for untold millennia. As the only person able to return these creatures to the box, Deckard finds that he must work with a shadowy secret society to save civilization before it is torn apart by tooth and claw.
