![]() After watching, I walked out feeling like I understood every concept without feeling like someone was reading me a history book on Runeterra. The series plunges headfirst into the rich lore that inhabits the world, fully immersing the viewers, but never leaving the less familiar audience members in the dust.Īs someone who has played the game but never paid much attention to the story, I went into this series really only knowing character names. With 140 fleshed-out characters and an expansive setting, “Arcane” could simply pick and choose from a menagerie of story-telling opportunities. The creators of the game, Riot Games, craft each champion with unique abilities and a backstory set in the fictional world of Runeterra. The series is based on the popular, online multiplayer game, “League of Legends.” In the game, two groups of players choose from over 140 different characters and try to destroy the other team’s base. From the pulse-pounding action to the painting-like animation style to the tender emotional moments, this Netflix series is a must-watch. ![]() “Arcane” swings big in every aspect and succeeds every time. ![]() Hollywood just couldn’t get it right…until now. Wave after wave of disappointing renditions of gaming classics have made it to the big screen, but they never earn critic nor fan praise. Those turned off by Dark Legends will find a brighter, happier, and better experience with Arcane Legends.Video game film adaptations are often looked down upon, understandably so. But mobile MMORPGs are such a rarity still, and the multiplayer still gets right what other games continually fail to do properly. And really, considering that this is the fourth entry in two and a half years, major iteration is hard to come by. While the game sports some much-needed tweaks that drastically improve the experience, it’s still at its heart, very similar to the rest of the series. This will hopefully only stop being novel when it’s available everywhere. There are more options for easily logging in, including Facebook Connect for extreme convenience. Very few games can boast half of the equation, with the ability to play with 3 different platforms or to carry data across various devices, but Arcane Legends continues to get it perfect. The ability to play with anyone on any platform, be it Chrome, iOS, or Android, still works extremely well. The cross-platform technology that Spacetime Studios is using is still the top in its class. There are guild and friend list features for those who need the social aspects, but ronin will find their desires satisfied too: there’s almost always a party to join up with. The mission and quest set up is handled extremely well, allowing players to just wander to an area, team up with a few other wayward adventurers, and either party up with them for long-term play or stick together with a group of friends. Arcane Legends keeps this core, ditches much of what Dark Legends did wrong, and adds pets that can help out in battle and be leveled up to be even better. Thankfully, the core of the game was the same, so a lot of good elements remained. The social game timers and missions weren’t as captivating as they could or should have been, and it all made it very difficult to find other players. The energy system was a mistake, and is nowhere to be seen in this game. It follows the formula that Spacetime’s other games have done, but let’s just get this out of the way immediately: Arcane Legends is the chaser to the bitter shot that was Dark Legends.ĭark Legends wasn’t bad, but it didn’t boast much in the way of actual improvements to the game, especially compared to the leap that Star Legends was. Choosing from one of three classes, players then go on quests with other people for loot, glory, and MacGuffins. Spacetime Studios has another MMORPG in their Legends series, returning somewhat to the stylistic roots of the original Pocket Legends, with the fantasy-based Arcane Legends.
