Weather Lord: Legendary Hero! – Review

In this sixth Weather Lord game, a strange portal has sucked the Weather Lord’s wife into oblivion. To rescue your beloved, you need to summon the Gods of Olympus and ask for their help with rebuilding the roads and clearing the blocked paths.

For all the builder fans, Weather Lord: Legendary Hero! is just like any other Weather Lord games, but worse. The main problem with this installment in the usually-great series is its slow pace. There is an overwhelming amount of back-and-forth walking because each time your worker completes a task, he needs to walk back to the base to store the resources. Although this is quite common in other builder games, it certainly doesn’t help that the workers in this game move at an awfully slow speed and the zig-zag paths further slow down the pace.

Not only did we have to stay patient and deal with the slow-walking workers, Legendary Hero! is fairly boring as well. Apart from the abilities to control the weather, that we had experienced before in the previous installments, Legendary Hero! brings nothing new to the table. Further, seasoned players will most likely find this game to be considerably easy to master, even in the later levels.

Still, every coin has two sides and not everything in Weather Lord: Legendary Hero! is flawed. Firstly, Legendary Hero! is a beautifully-designed game. The graphics are incredibly attractive and the cartoonish artwork doesn’t feel out of place. Besides, the soundtracks are well-composed and match well with the urgency of the game.

Collector’s Edition purchasers will also be very happy with the bonuses in Weather Lord: Legendary Hero! Unlike most Time Management games, this game featured a bunch of extras; wallpapers, a step-by-step strategy guide, cutscenes, biographies, achievements, a jigsaw puzzle, soundtracks and 15 bonus levels.
