Re:Legend video
F.A.Q.
I first learned about this game on the Square-Enix Collective website after the voting period ended and it captivated me.
The Kickstarter is aiming for PC, while console ports (PS4/X1/Switch) are based on stretch goals.

About this project
Re:Legend is a monster raising focused RPG with features such as farming, fishing, crafting, village building, multiplayer and more on PC!
Washed ashore on Vokka Island without memories, you start a new life and find ways to recover your lost memories. However, you must first learn how to live on the island by cultivating the land, befriending villagers, expanding the village and raising your very own magical creatures known as Magnus.
Venture around the land of Ethia where Vokka island resides to reclaim your memories, but this is no easy task as the world is filled with dangerous Magnus and threatening challenges.
Re:Legend is heavily inspired by awesome games such as Rune Factory, Digimon World, Fantasy Life and Monster Rancher series. We love monster raising! <3
Taming and Raising Magnus
Mythical creatures known as Magnus roam the land of Ethia, and every single one of them is tamable. They will aid you in many ways such as during combat, farming, fishing, traveling and more. They will also grow and evolve depending on your care, so each of them has unique evolution conditions. Once the Magnus has grown enough and you have gain their trust, you can mount them and use their abilities at will. These abilities will be helpful in your adventure in many ways so make sure to take good care of them!
Multiplayer
You can enjoy the game alone, but why not share the fun with your friends and family? Carry out the activities together and share precious memories!
Gameplay wise, there are plenty of activities that you can experience with your friends. One example would be farming, where you can split the workload between the players and everyone could master a specific part of the job. Different Magnus are better at different jobs, so each of the player can choose a different Magnus suited for different parts of farming. If having Magnus do your chores seems too cruel, you can always do it the traditional way by farming manually. Having friends will speed up the progress significantly.
Most of the features in the game are built around multiplayer so you will able to enjoy your friend's company throughout the game.
We believe that games are meant to be played together so were focusing on multiplayer since the early stages. These are just some of the features that have been confirmed and theres still plenty of room for improvement as we are still experimenting with different ideas. More will be added in the future.
Number of Players: 1 - 4
Farming
Vokka islands fertile ground is perfect for crop cultivation, be it on land or underwater. You can plant plenty of crops all year long with different species of plants to be cultivated with each coming season. Each crop can be sold for gold or used to improve your progression in the game. Beside crops, you can also keep and breed the fish that you have caught around the world in your farm. You can let them swim freely in your farm!
Life Skills
Practice makes perfect! You gain life skills as you practice them frequently. They level-up passively as you carry out the activities so it is crucial to practice the skill that you want to master as much as you can. Example of life skills: Mining, Fishing, Logging, Cooking, Crafting, Farming, Weaponry and much more!
Story
Waking up with no memory of your past, you will start your adventure to discover fragments of your memories that were scattered across the land. Each fragment will reveal more about your past and allow you to understand the world a little better.
You will find more leads about your memories as you start to develop Vokka Village further throughout the game. People in the village will lend you a hand in uncovering your identity during your adventure so take your time to expand the village. Beside your memories, there's also more to discover as you explore the world!
Character customization
We feel that it's important for everyone to bring their own uniqueness to Re:Legend, especially because multiplayer is such an important part of the game. To make sure that everyone is special in their own way, you will be able to customize the character to your liking during character creation. Customizable parts will include hair style, hair color, eyes, pupil color, skin color, clothes and so on.
Armors can be used as vanity as well to mask over the current equipment that you are wearing. If you love how the armor looks but dislike the stats, just wear it as vanity and you will look exactly the way you want without affecting your stats.
Building and Expanding Your Village
Vokka Village is where your new life begins! Befriend local villagers and celebrate exciting festivals while having a good time together. Pay attention to their needs and help them out in their daily lives, and they will reward you accordingly. You can recruit more villagers into the village during your adventure, and having more villagers will expand the village. This will allow you to gain access to better resources, and who knows you might even develop a romantic interest in one of them?!
We believe that music is the soul of a game because it bring out best in it by triggering a player's emotion throughout their journey in the game world. In order to deliver the best experience for you guys, we're collaborating with none other than the legendary Video Game Orchestra(VGO)! Video Game Orchestra is a Boston-based ensemble that has recorded for huge blockbuster franchises like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts (Square Enix) to Cytus (Rayark) and Mages of Mystralia (Borealys Games). Their recorded works have been nominated multiple times for Best Soundtrack within various circles, and is internationally renown for its quality and musicality.
Few words from Shota Nakama
Few words from Falk Au Yeong
Here are the sample OST that was composed by our star composers for Re:Legend. Hope you guys enjoy it!
3 tracks sample link
While Vokka Island is a peaceful and relaxing place, the outside world is definitely not! There are different regions around Vokka Island and each is a dangerous area filled with wild Magnus. It is always a wise choice to bring along your trusted Magnus before heading out.
We have planned 5 different regions so far and each of them will house unique Magnus in their respective ecosystem. There are plenty of exclusive Magnus in those regions that cannot be encountered in other regions where the regions exclusive Magnus has different strength in terms of their abilities and growth. They will be able to help you in specific sections of your journey so take your time to understand their strengths and raise them carefully.
The direction that we are aiming for is a combination of cute and cool so we went with the chibi anime style. We hope that you will enjoy what you see!
We're spending a lot of time taking the monsters from 2D concept art to 3D assets since we want to create a unique feel for the monsters, ranging from distinct physical features to special interaction animations.
Heres some of the sample concept that we have developed, enjoy!
