More Details on The Legend of Legacy

A new preview for 3DS RPG The Legend of Legacy outlines weapons and various gameplay mechanics.

Japanese magazine Famitsu this week delved into the new game's mechanics, including the ability to freely equip weapons to the different playable characters.

One of the draws of a regular RPG is that characters have specific range of weapons, however in The Legend of Legacy characters are able to use any of the available weapons. Each of these has a "Battle Technique" for a standard attack - including combo hits, counter attacks and more.

Battles also come with flexibility in the formation of characters, through a system called "Roll Shuffle", allowing the party to - as the name suggests - mix up their roles during battle. One example involves a defense formation, with two supporting characters in the back, whilst the other takes on a more attacking stance.

Developer Furyu recommends plotting several different formations before facing off enemies.
