Whether you’re a fan or not, it’s very unlikely that you don’t know the Knights of the Zodiac license. Saint Seiya has had a mobile game in the past that is still going strong, but the one we’ll be talking about today arrived fresh this month. Indeed, I will give you my opinion on this Saint Seiya Legend of Justice after playing it for several hours.
What is Saint Seiya Legend of Justice?
To begin, we will first see the type of game that awaits us with this opus. The first surprise you are likely to have is the fact that this is not a classic gacha game where you will have to farm by yourself in order to improve your units. Indeed, it is one of idle gamesThose are games that farm automatically even if you’re not playing. Which means you don’t have to deal with stamina when leveling.
Apart from these specificities, you find classic free to play mechanics such as summoning characters of different rarities, leveling up your knights, improving them in rank and of course the virtual currency system. Besides that, you can follow the traditional manga story while enjoying quality Japanese dubbing, even if we can regret the fact that they are not the official voice actors. We find all the same a cast of size since there is in particular the seiyu of Eren Jäger in The Attack of the Titans or Kaito Ishikawa who interprets Tenya in My Hero Academia.
As for the fights, it’s basic. You only havea special attack to manage, and again, if you don’t leave the game in automatic mode during your battles. On the other hand, the proposed content is substantial since you have the possibility of following the adventures of Seiya in the memories while going through the story of the main scenario that this Saint Seiya Legend of Justice offers you. Let’s not forget either that there is also the Arena, the twelve temples of the zodiac and the other dimension which is a kind of Tribunal of Ascension.
My review of Saint Seiya Legend of Justice
After a brief presentation of this title, let’s get to the heart of the matter. First of all, you should know that Idle Games are not especially games that you expect when you want a new opus from a strong license as is the case with Saint Seiya. Nevertheless, we can retain positive points such as automatic farming out of the game has its advantages, especially in terms of time. Saint Seiya Legend of Justice is also generous in resources and drops.
For the character part, you find the basis of this kind of title among which we count an equipment system, elements, synergy or the possibility of sacrificing units in order to increase one of your knights. Sure, it’s basic, but it’s still effective. Then, the content is an important element in this kind of game and this one responds since you unlock new trials as you progress.
Unfortunately, there is also points where it will struggle to compete with other games on mobile. I am thinking particularly of graphicsto animation or at gameplay depth. We feel it, for example, during clashes. Even if your heroes have several skills, only one can be activated, so the fights remain quite soft. Also, the difficulty can sometimes be an issue, as you can go from a super-easy level to a level where your warriors are going to get destroyed.
Another detail that can pose a problem is the absence of voices on certain characters, it’s silly to say like that, but when you play and you end up with a team that is half doubled, it gives the impression that it’s a bug when in the end, they just didn’t not all were doubled.
Finally, do I recommend you play it now? Currently, it is difficult to recommend it to you. If you’re really a fan of the license and you don’t have any other games, then you can try it, but if not, move on, there are lots of better titles on mobile , even among the Idle games.
