The Book of Legends

About

The Book of Legends is a large RPG with a focus on classic turn-based combat and deep character progression. You play as Jordan, a powerful wanderer tasked with delivering a relic to imprison a fear-feeding demon. The story unfolds through dialogue-heavy quests, world exploration, and alchemy-based item crafting. Combat mixes familiar RPG staples with light strategy, requiring attention to enemy weaknesses and party composition. The game’s open world encourages side missions and hidden item hunting to boost your party’s abilities. The game’s 44 achievements offer a grind-heavy challenge, with the rarest, "Legendary Samaritan", unlocked by just 1.7% of players. While the 2014 release shows its age in art style and pacing, the sheer volume of content keeps it engaging for RPG fans seeking a no-frills, story-driven experience. The difficulty curve and achievement rates suggest a niche audience, but completionists will find plenty to chase beyond the main quest.

Storyline

The Demon of Fear, Azutura, is slowly but surely awaking because the world is increasingly being dominated by thieves, rogues and bandits. Indeed - Azutura feeds on people's fears. The solution is found and crafted by the best alchemists of the realm: a special relic whose vapors will put the Demon in a profound sleep for the next few decades or so. A notorious traveler gifted with an extraordinary strength, Jordan, is sent to the House of Fear where the Demon lies to do the job. But the very first day of his mission, he is robbed by thieves and loses the precious relic.
