Ancient Legacy

People who have not played Game Stew games like Legacy or the Tower of Fortune series games are really missing out on an amazing gaming experience. These games are meticulously polished and designed by someone with very thorough understanding of the classic rpg games and roguelikes. The music and sound effects are amazing and the humor is very clever.

After 3 years of playing this game, I can say it scratches a particular RPG itch. The victories are sweet. The random deaths are bitter. It is always possible to start a new game very quickly. One of my favorite ios games. I love the work of Gamestew.

It plays like a board game. I beat it within a day. A bit unbalanced and the difficulty of the “towns” are not in order. I don’t like that there were so many random encounters that could instantly end your game on a bad roll.

I have played this game so many times. I love the gameplay loop, and how I can set it down at any moment and my character won’t die. I wish they would update the graphics for newer phones though; some if it is a bit blurry now that I’m looking at it on an OLED screen. Also, I would LOVE to see a sequel, or a new game with a similar mechanic. Great work, y’all!

I like the concept of this game and at first really enjoyed it. But then I started experiencing how unbalanced the battles are. There is one enemy in particular (not even a boss) that starts with 9 base attack plus dice rolls. It is nearly impossible to beat him, you’d have to be lucky enough to win the lottery, and he instantly kills you. Try as you might, you can never build your attack stats to a 9 base stat. If there was some kind of bonus when you died, like your stats get stronger each time, it would work. But as it is, I don’t like this game anymore and deleted it, even though I bought all the IAPs. Tower of Fortune is much better, you can actually progress in that one. I don’t recommend this game.

I really enjoyed this game! The gameplay is quite simple like an old roll and move board game but engaging and manages to feel like an adventure. I have almost every title from Game Stew but I always come back to this one. It hits all the right spots for me. I would love to play a sequel to this or even an IAP update with new content or worlds to conquer. Favorite iOS game. Thanks!

Love simple games with deeper stories or things to incover

Favorite developer, favorite games. Please keep making these great Game Boy colored games! Thank you!

I really really enjoyed this game when I was playing it, and when I kept dying, it made me want to keep trying to see how far I could get. But here’s the thing. After all the buildup and all the time it took me to finally beat the final boss, I was expecting a little bit more than just a screen with the final score and a couple pages of epilogue text. I don’t really know what I was expecting, but after such a long struggle, it felt a little bit anti-climactic. Aside from that, the gameplay was super fun and engaging with just the right amount of frustration. Keep up the good work, Game Stew. I look forward to many more games from you!

Ancient Legacy feels like a simple but fun rogue board game. The experience is enjoyable, the game play is intuitive, and I’m looking forward to endless fun playing this game.
