Relic Hunters Legend Is If Cartoon Network Made Destiny | PAX East 2020 Gameplay

Check out 9 minutes of gameplay of Relic Hunters Legend, a free-to-play twin stick shooter and with a cartoon art style and Destiny-like gameplay loop.

Relic Hunters Legend is the follow-up to the freeware game Relic Hunters Zero, and this sequel is going all-out on making a Destiny- and Warframe-like experience. At its core, Relic Hunters plays like a top-down twin-stick shooter with different abilities on cooldown to help you take down hordes of enemies, but the game incorporates the loop of earning better gear and some RPG progression. The demo we played here at PAX East showed off some of the story elements from the start of the game, but the video above showcases one of the combat-centric instances that can be played in multiplayer.

The flow of firing away at enemies, throwing magnetic grenades, and using the melee dash kept combat moving and it was necessary to get the hang of it because Relic Hunters can get challenging; the boss fight at the end of the video is an example of that. As you play through Relic Hunters Legend, you'll be picking up increasingly better weapons and armor and sifting through your gear in a character menu that draws inspiration from Destiny. Developer Rogue Snail also plans on treating Relic Hunters Legend as a service-type game with continual updates and post-release content.

Relic Hunters Legend is said to launch sometime this year for PC. If you want to check out more from the show, be sure to read our collection of games we've played at PAX East 2020.

"graphics and framerate are garbage" - The game is literally running at 120+ fps, you can see that on the top right corner.

The gameplay is a bit slow because the player was learning and playing for the first time, solo. You can actually sprint and move way faster than this.

I got a key from a streamer and let me say it's meh solo. I haven't played with friends yet but it doesn't feel special with random. I was going to shell out for the 60 dollar founders edition but there is one or two things that I already missed out on forever because I didn't kickstart the game.
