Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom PS3

Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom is the third part of a popular cycle that combines cRPG elements with dynamic action and started in 2005. The two previous versions of the series were only available to PlayStation Portable Pocket Console owners, while this product was dedicated only to the PlayStation 3 desktop platform and became the so-called starter title.

Developers from Sony Online Entertainment offered us an adventure in a fantastic world in which we enter as one of the three different characters. A brutal donkey, a mage's mighty spirit, and a scout who usually flies in the shadows. Each of the troublemakers fights opponents in a different way, so it's up to us whether we want to throw boxes into the crowd, bake our rivals with magical flames or silently eliminate surprised victims from hiding. At first we stand on the side of the ruler and throttle the uprising of the subjects, allegedly threatening the law and order. Later, however, we get to know the king's truly Tyrannical face and take part in his dethroning.

Of course, the way to a happy ending of the game leads through the corpses of the hordes of various opponents - in addition to the standard enemies, there are also extremely powerful bosses. Moreover, not very complicated logical problems have been implemented, and solving them requires mainly manipulation of objects (e.g. clogging of water pipes in order to prevent the hero's room from being flooded in a documentary manner). The whole is complemented by a refined three-dimensional visual setting, highly interactive environment and Havok physical system.
