Battleheart: Legacy is a cartoony and light action-adventure RPG that makes a lot of its competition on iOS look archaic and old-fashioned. Although the game doesn't necessarily push the boundaries of gameplay originality or storytelling, Battleheart: Legacy is an extremely good-looking and well-made game.
Players of Battleheart: Legacy begin the game by creating a character and working their way through a tutorial sequence, but from there the game is quite a bit of a choose-your-own-adventure kind of deal. There are quest givers and such, but the main focus of the game seems to be exploring new areas, fighting enemies, and custom leveling a character with abilities.
All of this might sound pretty rote if Battleheart: Legacy didn't contain a slew of interesting enemy types, gear to be equipped, and awesome combat animations that are pretty unique across every character class. It's all of these little things that are done perfectly that make Battleheart: Legacy a standout title for anyone looking for an adventure title on-the-go.
That being said, Battleheart: Legacy is perfectly enjoyable even when focusing exclusively on one class. The game's adventuring tone makes jumping in for a quick dungeon crawl easy-to-do, while the game also contains deeper underpinnings of character customization that make long play sessions feel significant. This balance, which is hard to fully articulate on paper, is exactly what makes Battleheart: Legacy a very impressive game.
