A Blind Legend is among the rare "audio" games that can be fully experienced by someone with vision impairment. The voice acting and audio effects are excellent and establish the atmosphere for the game. I see that other reviews have complained about the robotic narrator voice. This voice only reads out game menus and says "Loading" during loading screens. I did not find it distracting from the core gameplay. When the game was made back in 2015, I doubt that using AI voices was that controversial. Gameplay essentially alternates between combat sequences and sections where you have to trail an NPC or a sound. The combat is almost like a rhythm game where you need to figure out the right window to attack or counter for each enemy. It takes some trial and error to get it right, but is satisfying once you figure it out. It has a surprising variety of enemies and combat situations What I didn't like was the number and placement of save-points. The game does not allow manual saving. Given the audio based structure of the game I understand why implementing this would be difficult. But the devs chose to repeatedly place save points before unskippable dialogue and trailing sections, which would lead up to combat where you are likely to die and repeat the whole thing. I found the trailing sections irritating, especially when there is an enemy chasing you. I would repeatedly die without any clear feedback on what I did wrong, except maybe taking too long to reach my destination. Had the checkpoints been more frequent, my ~15 hr play time would have been much shorter. Another complaint I have is that there is no tutorial recording of combat controls that you could access from the main menu. This was surely doable and would have made things easier if you were picking the game back up after an interval. It also does not seem to have a "pause" setting, attempting to pause with my Xbox controller using default mapping would send me back to the main menu and reset progress to the last automatic checkpoint. Still, I would recommend the game as it is quite enjoyable and unique. And also because I bought it discounted to less than 1 USD in my local currency. If you are interested in similar audio action games, take a look at [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/989790/The_Vale_Shadow_of_the_Crown/] The Vale: Shadow of the Crown . I am not affiliated with them in anyway, I just found the two games similar.

If it would be just a normal game, it would surely failed. If you have are somehow experienced player (like "not only solitaire"-level rather than pro gamer one), it won't surprise you. It has the laziest possible plot and two or three the most obvious sound-based mechanics. Also some battle scenes has really unreadable and frustrating timings. To sum up, the game could be much better if developers were motivated and talented. Nevertheless, the concept of non-visual game is amazing and I can recommend the Blind Legend only for this valuable experience.

I've (obviously) not completed the game yet, but I just wanted to thank you for such unique experience! I'd love to hear an actual voice actor/actress instead of text-to-speech one day though

This is a cool game that provided a very cool experience. For Once, you can experience being blind.

Gaming is a visual medium, and for that reason when I review games, a strong emphasis is given to solid delivery of the visuals that must be there to support excellent game design. This is understandable, and not even remarkable, it's reflected in the overwhelming success of games that match great visual and audio design with equally immersive gameplay and gripping narrative. But sometimes, in extremely rare situations, we can ignore this requirement for high visual fidelity. Like in "A Blind Legend", which is a game that has no visuals. This is one of those rare games designed for the visually impaired, who are almost always shut out of the gaming experience. In this game, you listen to audio queues and block, parry and attack your enemies as part of a sweeping 3D audio narrative experience. So, while I firmly believe that games must be of the highest quality, yes, including visuals, this game supersedes that, because it's even more important that games must be accessible, especially to those who are otherwise denied the most. Gaming is meant for everyone.
