Underrated Things to Try: Deadliest Warrior: Legends

Deadliest Warrior: Legends

Have you ever played a fighting game where rounds last between 5 and 30 seconds, because the damage is realistically fatal? Where if you hit a guy with a sword, his arm may just fall the hell off? It gets better, too. The characters are historical generals from ancient history, like Alexander the Great and Shaka Zulu. There is also an element of luck that can lead to an awesome upset occasionally. Try the demo. The game uses an armor class system based on attack types and armor types. So certain armors have a higher chance to deflect slashes than pierces, for example.

I bought this game because in the demo, I killed a fully armored Alexander the Great with Shaka in two seconds by throwing a spear that stuck right in his face. It went right through the slit in his helmet. I laughed for like, five minutes.
