[edit] Gameplay

Unique to Legendary is an expansive three way enemy AI. During gameplay, the player is attacked by both human and monstrous opponents. During these exchanges, the AI for both the humans and the monsters are not only focused on the player, but on each other depending on which party is a bigger threat. This mechanic allows for behavioral changes from play session to play session depending on how both the player and the AI approach a given scenario. The game is planned for release during late Spring 2008.

Legendary Beasts: Throughout the game the player will face various legendary monsters varying from Werewolves to Gryphons. Each creature is promised to be a unique challenge of their own. Not to mention that each creature has two classes. There are "Beta" and "Alpha" of each form, Alpha being the more aggressive, more powerful versions. Creatures will also have three "moods" The First being a passive, only attacking out of defense. The second phase is where they attack when attacked, the final phase is where they are actively trying to kill the player, using their environment to their advantage.
