The Legacy: Realm of Terror PC

A computer RPG of the genre of "survival horror", which takes place in a gloomy and seemingly deserted estate of the Winthropes. The player takes on the role of one of the six heroes, who have a house in the title inheritance, along with all the demonic menagerie, as is already being seen on the spot. Of course, if the characters invented by the creators of the game do not appeal to us, we can try to create a new one from scratch, assigning the points received at the beginning to a dozen or so character traits. Their number should satisfy every RPG maniac. In addition to general knowledge, such as knowledge, strength, dexterity, endurance or magic, we can focus on more specific skills and develop e.g. firing with firearms or first aid.

The property, where we will spend the next few hours, is controlled by various monsters from hell. On each floor there are two types of them. Initially, bare fists are enough to exterminate enemies, then you need to buy some weapon, preferably burning, although the amount of ammunition you can find for it is really small. A good method is to fight with magic, but the best spells consume a huge amount of mana, which is difficult to regenerate. It may also happen that conventional means of extermination or any spells are not enough to kill a group of monsters. In this case, you will need to find a suitable object whose action will neutralise their inviolability.

The Legacy is characterized by nice, photorealistic graphics and the ability to scale / move windows according to your own vision. On the screen, in addition to the main field of play, we can also see the silhouette of our hero, the objects he carries, a clear level map and a message window. The action is presented from the perspective of the first person, but the movement is not smooth and rotations are made every 90 degrees.
