The Legend of Legacy was renowned for its gorgeous, painterly visuals as well as its multiple story arcs to explore. What’s more, the game featured a unique leveling system that rewards players for experimenting with different battle stances versus a traditional experience points-based system. The remaster looks to bring all of that back but with a shiny coat of HD paint once it comes to Switch next year.
