Worlds of Legend: Son of the Empire

Worlds of Legend: Son of the Empire is an ambitious fantasy role-playing adventure that drops the player into a world of magic, danger and the usual assortment of people who urgently need a hero to solve their problems. Exploration, combat and character development form the backbone of the experience, with a broad setting to investigate and plenty of threats waiting outside supposedly safe places. The game belongs to that wonderfully experimental era when RPG designers were willing to throw many ideas into one box and see what happened. Its interface and presentation can feel old-fashioned today, but there is genuine atmosphere in its fantasy world. Players who enjoy discovering obscure role-playing games may find plenty to appreciate here, especially if they do not mind occasionally consulting their own memory as a substitute for modern hand-holding.
