Formula Legends is a kind of return to the roots for the 3DClouds studio. Before specializing in creating budget projects on various licenses (including animated series), this developer debuted with its own racing games - in 2018 the studio released All-Star Fruit Racing, and a year later Xenon Racer came out.

Gameplay

Formula Legends is an arcade, stylized approach to the theme of Formula 1 (without an official license) and an attempt to recreate almost all eras in the history of this motorsport discipline. We start around 1960s and race until the third decade of the 21st century.

The game features 16 racing cars representing successive stages of F1 technological development, as well as 14 racetracks inspired by famous venues, which come in variants adapted to different eras.

Game Sandwich: 4 / 10 by Amber Warnock-Estrada

Formula Legends has a story mode that would keep fans entertained for hours and hours, but I really can’t imagine sinking the time it must take to trudge through that many races. Despite being an arcade racer, it’s a bit lacking in variety. It’s as if attention to detail is standing in the way of letting players off the leash. With the addition of co-op at the very least, and a complete overhaul of the handling mechanics, it might be a bit easier to recommend Formula Legends. Until then, for now, I’d suggest that you steer clear.

GameSpew: 4 / 10 by Richard Seagrave

Don't let its disarming visuals fool you – Formula Legends is a pretty serious racing game at its core. The problem is, the racing on offer isn't all that fun. Add in a lack of game modes, and you're better off picking up any of the recent official Formula One games – they're more accessible and have features such as multiplayer, after all.

Completexbox: 70 / 100 by Jordan Campbell

Formula Legends is a quirky and unique racer that celebrates the decades of Formula One. Sure, it isn’t on par with the offerings of the official games that arrive annually, but it does serve as a solid alternative that can be fantastic fun. It can be occasionally frustrating, but that’s more of a skill issue on my part. If you don’t mind the fact that there is no licensing or online multiplayer, then it’s a vibrant and fun experience that will give you a good amount of enjoyment.
