Perfect World Releases First Magic Legends Gameplay Trailer - MMORPG.com News

Perfect World announced officially Magic Legends last month during The Game Awards, but we really didn't get an idea of what the actual MMORPG would look like. Now we do thanks to a gameplay trailer via Game Informer.

I'm a sucker for MTG stuff. Looks fun.

Someone get this game a Pumpkin spice latte because it looks pretty basic.

Damn im so so disappointed, it looks so bad

Aww man, I was really hoping for a WoW/ESO/FFXIV kinda MMORPG. Not a Diablo stlye one. Super disappointed. Maybe I missed something, but I wasnt expecting this. Looks decent, and im sure it will be good. Just kinda disappointing based on what I personally am desiring.

I hate games where the point of view is looking down at an area from the sky. What is that called, anyway?

And I can't tell much about the graphics because the combat graphics overpower all. Just multi-color explosions, one after another.

Such a shame

Mikeha

No thanks

I will certainly try it, but my expectations of PWE games have been steady at ankle height since 2009 so... yeah.

A lot of what we do here is pan for gold. Most games are poop in some way or another. Run the water. Shake the pan. Find an occasional nugget. The hope for nuggets is part of what brings me here. I don't mind someone pointing out the poop games because that is to be expected.

Don't blame perfect world it is the ip owner not having standards Wotc is like games workshop if you give them enough cash they will let anyone make a game.  

Greatsword

Looks worse than most mobile games

Just the fact that Perfect World was involved was enough for me to say, No Thanks. After seeing that, I see that was the right call for me.

ARPG? Bleh... Maybe if it gets ported to consoles, and is free, I'll give it 15 minutes lol.

Partieplayin

Being made for consoles first and PC as an after thought . Am I the only one that picked up on A,B,X,Y now if this game was made for PC then being ported that would not been seen in this trailer. So no thanks from me.

pre alpha so will wait and see how it develops.

The two human planeswalkers look very eastern makes me wonder what market they are going after. With the wide race variety of planeswalkers in magic maybe they would have been better off choosing races that the western market would like or will they be adding those to the loot boxes xD

There is so much variety in the magic universe in terms of items, spells, creatures, races, sub races that if done right could be an amazing arpg with enough funding from the developers. WotC loves selling their RNG so that could also open up a lot of extras in terms of cosmetics and so on. If Hasbro partnered with anyone other than Perfect World the other dev would probably be hesitant to add too much stuff behind "surprise mechanics" but this looks like it maybe be the "perfect" match it will be interesting to see how it's done.

I see a lot of people hating.

People not liking something is not the same as hating. 

I have no hate towards Perfect World - nor do I have any hate towards this game.

What you see is a lot of dislike and disappointment. 


There is  a difference 

Pretty easy to be disappointed these days given the state of the gaming market....

Someone mentioned a more Diablo type game.That makes sense,a cheaper game to create and Planeswalkers are too op in the TCG game,sop makes sense you have some op character/Planeswalker to easily obliterate stuff.
That kind of ARPG type combat does not do a single thing for me,looks lame to me.

I don't get it,Planeswalkers were the reason i quit playing MTG,but i think WOTC feels like it is great selling point.
Your going to need a good game design to get me on board,i don't fall for cheap gimmicks like "be the best Planeswalker",for myself that is a NON selling point,will turn me off faster than a light switch.

Isometric perspective.

Clearly single player / co-op... and this = MMO?? From what I’ve seen so far I’m not impressed with them trying to create their own diablo style game. I’m hoping for more.. *fingers crossed*

I love the MTG IP and have played the game since 1996 when I was a kid. (My collection contains the original dual lands etc)

But as an ARPG this game will have to go head to head with PoE.

Is the magic IP enough to draw people away from one of the best games made in the past 15 years in the exact same genre remains to be seen.
