Legends BMX should have been an exciting game that I couldn’t stop playing. Instead, I found it to be too shallow, limited, and a little dull. This was unfortunate as it has plenty of potential. The developers have incorporated a fun trick system and an array of enjoyable arenas to navigate. However, everything feels bland, and the action suffers as a consequence.
Saga Legends Dev and Firenut Games have developed this simple riding simulation. Furthermore, the action can only be enjoyed alone. This drawback was overcome with a global leaderboard. However, I’d have loved to share the streets with friends and strangers. Sadly, this wasn’t to be, as you are left to your own devices.
Become a champion in Legends BMX.
Legends BMX does little to add depth or a plot to its approach. Instead, it wants you to enjoy the freedom of the skating world. Losing yourself in your tricks and riding freely is the name of the game. This lack of guidance was a little disconcerting. However, I enjoyed pulling off grinds, flips, and other tricks.
Gamers are asked to experiment as much as they can in each skatepark. You may pull off a combination of grinds, flips, and manual floorwork. As long as you keep things clean and land every trick, you’ll increase your score and become a modern-day legend.
Trick lines.
Hitting high scores and completing weekly tasks are the name of the game. Legends BMX has a fresh roster of tasks for gamers to complete. This was great as it adds a focal point to an otherwise free-flowing game. Alongside this, you must top the leaderboard to show your skills and prowess to global players.
As you flip, grind, and manual your way across each park, your score will multiply. However, some caution is needed as a minor error can undermine your top score. Consequently, you must learn when to quit if you want to achieve the highest score.
Legends BMX lacks realism.
Unlike other games in this category, Legends BMX has a cartoon edge. This wasn’t an issue, but it undermines realism. If you consider Tony Hawk, Skate, or any other serious skating franchise, they all have a sense of realism. This slight sideways step will impact gamers’ desire to play it.
Unlike the cartoon visuals, the audio has a slightly more realistic tone. The sound of your wheels on concrete and the noise of the metal on metal as you grind was fantastic. Furthermore, there is that uncomfortable moment when you inevitably crash and lose your streak. The audio was probably the best element of the game, and the other core layers should have followed suit.
Interesting controls.
Legends BMX is an easy game to pick up and play. However, mastering it and getting the timing correct is a different matter. Although there is a decent tutorial and the core mechanics are relatively basic, you will make mistakes. This could lead to frustration, but every tumble and lost streak is a learning opportunity. Consequently, if you can take the rough with the smooth, you’ll enjoy the fair and balanced learning curve.
Replay value and longevity are questionable. In theory, this could keep you playing for hours. However, the lack of content makes it feel like a demo. Additionally, things become repetitive, which was disappointing.
Legends BMX is fun but not great.
If you want a casual game to distract you, Legends BMX will do just that. However, if you want something to get your teeth into, this falls short of the mark. Although I enjoyed it, I was left wanting much more. As such, I tentatively recommend buying it here! Can you top every leaderboard? Complete your weekly tasks, string together your tricks, and become a master of the skate park!
