Poor, poor Charles Deckard. As the unenviable thief duped into opening Pandora’s Box, he’s now the unlucky bastard caught between a plague of myth🙈ical hell-beasts and two ancient, warring factions that wish to control them. A battle unlike any other is now upon us all. Minotaurs, werewolves and golems: oh my!

In our last hands-on with Legendary (formerly Legenda༺ry: The Box), we bravely fought bloodthirsty griffins in the streets of New York City. This time we took a later stage out for a spin, and damned if the ante wasn’t significantly upped. First off, the Black Order (a centuries-old society that wants the box opened) was all over our ass. So Deckard is already outgunned in a vicious modern firefight. It didn’t seem like anything we couldn’t handle... until the werewolves showed up. Dear God.

Caught in a three-way fracas, we picked off members of the Black Order with an automatic rifle, while we found the shotgun preferable for dealing💮 with werewolves (as well as their albino Greek cousins, the Limos.) More interestingly, we had the lofty option of hanging back and allowing our two opponents fight it out❀ - like we were some unholy cross between Clint Eastwood in A Fistful of Dollars and Van Helsing. The infantry soldiers didn’t stand much of a chance against the nightwalkers, usually getting ripped in half or devoured in a matter of seconds. But hey, at least they softened them up a little for us.

In a hilarious turn, we shot the lock off a cage containing one of the full-moon brutes from high up on a ledge. The wolf proceeded to pounce on a line of problematic soldiers behind ample cover, thus taking care of them for us. Of course, a situation like tha🌞t means the remaining wolfmen are now entirely your problem.
