Here's Our First Look At Magic: Legends' Gameplay
/ Carlos Hernandez
Magic: Legends, an MMO action RPG developed at Cryptic Studios, is based on the popular trading card game Magic: The Gathering and we finally get our first glimpse of some gameplay.
The gameplay footage was revealed as part of Game Informer’s January magazine cover story, which gives us a taste of what seems to be a diablo-esque type of combat system.
From all the chaos and destruction in the gameplay trailer you can tell it plays like your typical top down action RPG. but Magic: Legends actually has a deck building system where you need to build a deck of 12 that will consist of your spells, buffs, and summons. You will have 4 active cards at one time and using one will result in it being replaced by another card from your deck.
Magic: Legends was first revealed at The Game Awards 2019 with a cinematic trailer and Cryptic Studios stated that Legends is an MMO set in the Magic universe.
So far, that’s all we know about Magic: Legends. This is a free-to-play title that will be out on PS4, Xbox One, and PC later this year.
So far, I’ve been loving my new console. It truly feels like a generational leap from the original Switch, even if its core concept remains the same. This may be simply an iterative, straightforward improvement over the original system, but I guess the thinking is that as the saying goes, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
