Lode Runner Legacy

Product refunded I still prefer Sierra's 1994 game Lode Runner: The Legend Returns. It had bombs and other tools, and teleporters. It made the levels more interesting and puzzle more elaborate than simply figuring out which blocks to zap in what order. Also had different worlds with different aesthetics. I would recommend this game if you want a voxel-based iteration of basic Lode Runner. It will likely give you short spurts of fun. I don't think this game can be played for long periods of time and remain fun. There is a 50 level adventure mode, 50 level puzzle mode (with leaderboards), and you can play player-made levels. The player made levels will probably be the source of most fun. I am disappointed with the lack of bombs, such as were in the Sierra version of the game, and how deaths look in general. Dying is almost like in Super Mario where he has a "ouch" frame before the scree

Did you play Lode Runner back in the 1980s? Did you like it? If so, you can stop reading now and just go ahead and buy the game now. The entire classic set of 150 levels are included and this is pretty much a perfect update to those levels. The graphics are significantly improved while retaining a retro/pixel-art feel. In addition, all the timing on the levels is retained, too. In addition to that, there are plenty of new modes with different graphics and options that are also nice updates. And there's a 1st person perspective that you can play, too. The graphics on the new modes are super-nice, too. And, a staple of all Lode Runner games, a great level editor. Mix in leaderboards, community levels you can download, and you're looking at a loaded update that is truly an example of how to "remake" a retro game and do it right. The game isn't perfect - the controls in the menus are a li

#Early Review - Adventure Mode - 22% / Classic - 3% Loads of fun - with a few complaints. Pros - TONS of content. A full adventure mode and classic mode - I like the art style. Very 3D Dot Heroes. Wouldnt have minded the 360 version art either. But hey, Not complaining. - A good challenge - Its fun! - Make your own levels, characters, and items and download those from others. ----_Slight con here: There doesnt seem to be a menu to select WHICH downloaded treasure, etc to use? Unless I am missing something. Cons - With a controller connected, there is no way to navigate the menu with a mouse. WHY. - Only 2 resolution settings and both are terrible on my monitor. - Building is a fantastic idea, but the tools available are so barebones it hurts. More specifically: ----- You cant just paint an existing block, You can only add and delete. Which makes no sense. ----- There isnt any way to m

If you're old enough to remember the original Lode Runner back when you were a kid, just go ahead and buy it for nostalgic reasons. I saw it and it took me about half a second to think about purchasing it. :)

What Lode Runner Legacy isn't: something new and innovative that focuses on adding new elements to that distant classic from the '80s. What Lode Runner Legacy is: the original game at its best, with added levels, a retro-friendly voxel art style that fits like a glove, and a level editor that raises the replay value sky high.
