  • If you buy into the relatively simple hook of this scheme, and all of the challenges that are derived from it, there’s an absolute avalanche of content in Legacy for you to enjoy. You’ll have the over 100 levels of the Adventure (with enemies) and Puzzle (no enemies) modes, 150 levels from the classic games themselves, some co-op levels for you and a friend, and then levels made by the community as well. I’d say that the last item is probably the most notable as you’ll have the ability to construct levels of your own to share and the options here can really allow you to flex your creativity, not just designing the levels, but being able to create your own version of the hero and enemies in a voxel editor as well. This is, no doubt, a great value added feature and can theoretically make the potential for content unlimited. There’s absolutely no doubt that the developers have pulled out every stop to make Lode Runner Legacy something special. The game’s look is both classic and modern at once, and the inclusion of the level and voxel editors and community support are great modern touches. The underlying question, though, is whether or not you find the fundamentals of the Lode Runner play style compelling or not. If you do, this is probably a must-buy game since I don’t think anything more could be done with that base, but if the appeal of the series is limited no amount of value added effort will redeem it.
