ARPG by the same people that have made Restricted Area. The setting is standard fantasy this time though and it is quite generic. However in a number of areas like loot, music, atmosphere, visuals and character system, it is solid and worth a try. The story is more on the weak side and at least the german voice acting is often not great. One interesting feature is that the mouse cursor is actually a light elf that occasionally comments on the player's actions and interjects in dialogue. She also serves as a light source in dark environments.
I love this game. Mainly because of the dark atmosphere, the really good dubbing (especially the German dubbing) and the unique controls. The mouse cursor is not just a cursor, as in Diablo, for example, but the hero's constant companion. The lore has also been expanded with a browser game, a novel and an audio book.
I have never played it. I watched it being played on YouTube and it reminded me of Titan Quest (one of my favorites). Looks like a solid ARPG with a large world to explore. I would definitely buy if available on GOG. GOG is the place to buy hidden gems.
I got to know and love Legend from my Windows 7 days.
The main character with his character development, the sympathetic little fairy - and the world in which Legend is set captivated me for a very long time. I didn't find the story overwhelming, but it was well told. The battles against various monsters were always great fun.
I found both the quests and the travel mechanism very successful.
I think it would be a great pity if this gem of role-playing games could not be preserved here for eternity.
OMG! I love this game so much! Three of my favorite games of all time were released in 2009 - Divinity II: Ego Draconis, Risen, and of course Legend: Hand of God. I had been playing Divinity II: Ego Draconis and Risen since 2009 and I'm always looking for similar RPGs. A number of years ago while trying to search for similar titles, I happened across a thread where a few people mentioned Legend: Hand of God. I immediately purchased a copy and I was not disappointed. It's a fantastic game and more people deserve to know the awesomeness of Legend: Hand of God. If you're a fan of RPGs, I definitely recommend trying it out. I'm hoping one day Divinity II: Ego Draconis, Risen, and Legend: Hand of God will get a remake/remaster. (Also patiently waiting for Divinity III)
(NOTE/FYI: For some reason the North American version did not include an inner sleeve cover for the case, only an outer slip cover. So if you purchase a physical NA version, new or used, it is not going to have the inner sleeve cover only the outer slip cover. I have no idea if this was a production issue or purposefully intended to be released this way.)

İstanbul Efsaneleri: Lale Savaşçılarıİstanbul Efsaneleri: Lale Savaşçıları (Legends of Istanbul: Tulip Warriors) is the first Turkish fantasy role playing game. Designed in a funny and comical style, the game is set in an alternate Istanbul. The language of the game is Turkish. It was first published for Amiga and PC platforms in years 1994 and 1997, respectively, and a revival gold edition was published later in 2005 to make it work under newer operating systems using DOS emulators.
Players could select one of five species to create their characters. These species included "students", "employees", "dumps", "luuts" and "prostitutes". In-game objects include weapons like throwing-slippers, rulers and armor like flannel shirts, white undershirts (wife-beaters) and metal-music T-shirts. Spells were replaced with curses and magicians with legendary characters like "the Silicon Father". The game was also important for its production of staged cut-scenes with real actors and decoration, displayed in a custom full-motion-video technique (early for its time) and its original music score.
