Legend is a two player medieval weapons-based brawler from Arcade Zone, which is composed of only two dudes. It's a gorgeous game with huge sprites, incredibly detailed backgrounds, and a decent soundtrack. However, its gameplay is wildly imbalanced and unfortunately boils down to constantly using jump kicks for an hour. At least it has Golden Axe-style screen-filling magic attacks.
Beldor the Maleficent reigned as a despot over the kingdom of Sellech for one thousand years.
All was chaos and destruction. Many knights went on a final crusade to destroy Beldor but none returned.
The people united, built energized heroes and imprisoned Beldor's soul. Now, Clovis, corrupt son of the king of Sellech, wants to harness Beldor's power and conquer the kingdom.
This game was made by just two French Dudes.
The title music is a blatant plagiarism of the song Birth of the People composed by Yuzo Koshiro for the SNES game ActRaiser.

Legend was made by only two dudes, and in that respect it's extremely impressive. However, it's actually extremely broken, repetitive, and drawn-out. Jump-kicking beats everything so there's no reason not to use it exclusively, making the game a tedious cakewalk. Plus, the enemy variety is lacking. However, the graphics are outstanding.
