15 minute review of Blood and Glory: Legend

First a little history...
This is a third game in the series (technically).  The other two being blood and glory and blood and glory nr (nr stands for not rated) .  I first learned of these games a while back the first was awesome (b&g) with my love for anything Roman history etc and the fact Spartacus just had the second season come out I was pretty stoked to get into the game. After about a week I found the not rated version and it was all over.  So its no surprise I'm reviewing the latest installment Legend.
Legend is an entirely different story because it actually has a story.  Its about an arena warrior (gladiator) and his quest to kill a very important guy. I'll leave the rest for you to find out. The sorry is delivered like a comic which really adds something great to this game. Maybe its me but I don't think it could have the same drive any other way. So as the comic goes you fight through many tournaments and bosses to reach the head honcho.
Game play is pretty fast paced is very easy at first but gets very hard later on. The controls are very simple you swipe to attack and press on either arrow to move out of the way. You have block and parry as well. This should be easy enough that anyone can pick it up and have a good time with it even more advanced gamers will still find it challenging after a while.
The game has in app purchases and some coin and money multipliers if you don't wish to purchase anything. You can get all kinds of power UPS but one that's different than the original is an amulet. After each fight you unlock a new amulet with specific powers and you can use any of them for power ups either during or after the match. These amulets can be purchased as well.
I have been addicted to this game since the first and while this one is basically the same the new features and story keep it fun after what 3 years I believe. Hopefully more updates will come as I'm almost finished with the game. When all is said and done...
Final score: 4.3/5
