For the Diablo-like MMORPG MU Legend, things have not gone well during the Open Beta so far. Now the successor to MU Origin is celebrating its release. The game is set to take off via Steam. The expansion “Noria” helps with this.
Soft launch: Until now, MU Legend was in an open beta, a so-called soft launch. There has been no wipe of progress since the beta started, and none is planned.
Since early November 2017, players could hack through masses of enemies with one of 5 available classes. However, the “Diablo MMO” did not become particularly large.
Again and again, criticism arises that MU Legend has turned too much on the grind knob and the cash shop after a hopeful phase before the start of the open beta.
Second attempt on Steam – Now officially released
Bigger, further, better. With the release on Steam, Webzen is trying to win new players for MU Legend. The Steam release marks the end of the open beta and simultaneously the launch of the game. Developer Webzen celebrates this with the first official expansion for the game.
The Noria expansion adds the eponymous continent to MU Legend, where players can unleash their skills. New quests, dungeons, and exceptional rewards await the players here.
What the update brings for MU Legend’s release
Additionally, the update includes numerous other new contents:
- In the airship defense, you must face waves of enemies while defending the Odyssey reactor in the middle of the ship. If you survive all 20 waves, you will receive additional rewards.
- The revised leveling is intended to be easier for new players and more convenient for existing players.
- The companion system has been enhanced with a new companion mechanic. Companions in MU Legend are cute pets that follow you everywhere and give you a passive bonus to your stats.
- The new amulet system allows players to continue improving beyond the maximum level. Once you have reached the maximum level with a talisman, you can start a “breakthrough”. This will increase your stats even beyond the maximum level.
- In the Blood Castle, you must defeat waves of enemies within a certain time. From level 45, you can progress further into the Blood Castle dungeon. There, you must eliminate all enemies within 10 minutes. The faster you are, the better the reward.
Being involved is worth it: Returning players receive a free character boost to level 70 so they can start with the new content right away. But new players will also be rewarded for playing with wings, jewels, costumes, and other items.
To do this, all you have to do is complete one of the missions on the official event website in the game and claim them on the website for yourself.
Initial feedback is rather balanced
An uncut diamond. On Steam, some players have already played MU Legend and left feedback. At the current time (08.08.2018), 50% of the Steam reviews are positive. Thus, MU Legend appeals to about half of all players who have tried it.
- The path to the maximum level is liked by almost all players. The grind for better equipment is motivating, and the great gameplay with beautiful animations is fun.
- Players have a lot of freedom in character customization. They can focus on high attack speed, significantly reduce ability cooldowns, or increase their crit chance.
- The performance of the game is poor for a few players.
- Anyone looking to advance in the endgame must prepare for a long grind or spend money.
