About
Legendary is a 2008 action game that puts you in the role of Deckard, a thief who accidentally unleashes mythological creatures from Pandora's Box. The story drives a fast-paced campaign where you fight against legendary beasts and human enemies in urban and fantastical settings. It's a straightforward action shooter that blends creature-hunting gameplay with a premise rooted in ancient myths and folklore.
Running Legendary is quite accessible by modern standards. An entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 27 is sufficient to meet minimum requirements, and you'll need just 1 GB of RAM. Most modern graphics cards will handle this game comfortably at decent FPS rates, even at higher graphics settings. It's not demanding, making it a good option if you're testing older hardware or want to benchmark a lower-tier GPU.
With a mixed critical reception at 56/100, Legendary offers solid action gameplay if you enjoy mythological themes and straightforward combat. However, it's not considered a standout title in the action genre, so it's best suited for genre fans or those curious about early 2000s action games rather than a must-play recommendation.
Performance profile
October 2008 release. Legendary targets mid-2000s-to-early-2010s hardware — any modern entry-level GPU (GTX 1650 tier or newer integrated graphics) handles it at 1080p Ultra without breaking a sweat.
Action titles like Legendary reward high framerates for visual clarity during combat. A mid-range modern GPU at 1440p 60–120 FPS is the practical sweet spot; VRR (G-Sync/FreeSync) smooths out drops during heavy effects.
Extremely light — Legendary runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
Storyline
All creatures of ancient myth, legend and lore are real they've just been sealed away for thousands of years inside Pandora's Box, waiting... When a thief named Deckard is hired to steal an ancient artifact, he unwittingly triggers a war between man and myth. Griffons rule the skies, Werewolves tear the innocent limb from limb and cities are held under siege as creatures we'd dismissed as imaginings of our ancestors prove to be very real and very angry for being held prisoner for untold millennia. As the only person able to return these creatures to the box, Deckard finds that he must work with a shadowy secret society to save civilization before it is torn apart by tooth and claw.
