Brutal Legend keeps unveiling more and more gameplay variety – first it was hacking, slashing, and guitar playing microgames. Then came an open world and driving. And now? Creator Tim Schafer pulls back the curtain on real-time strategy elements. But ironically, the more depth and variety that gets revealed, the easier it becomes to summarize the game in a single sentence.
Imagine a call to hard-rock arms, something like – “Every one of us has heard the call, brothers of true metal, proud and standing tall. We know the power within us has brought us to this hall. There’s magic in the metal, there’s magic in us all. Heavy metal!”
