Legacies has you working to protect the ocean, using sea life in clever ways to turn your enemies back while not becoming shark food yourself.
Your estranged, ecological vigilante mother has left you a wild gift: a submarine. This strange gift will lead you to follow in your mother’s footsteps, using stealth to carefully navigate the oceans and cause trouble for those who would poach and harm ocean wildlife. However, our protagonist is blind, which may add some challenge to this new mission in life, but the sub’s sound-based sonar systems give Max all they need to be able to stay safe and find their targets.
You have several different tools you can use to chase off the ocean’s enemies. You can use shark pheromones to make divers think twice about coming into the waters, place barnacles on boats to degrade their hulls, and explosives can also be used as a pretty solid deterrent. Just remember that blowing stuff up and stealth don’t exactly go hand-in-hand, so you’ll have to be pretty careful. Also, you don’t want to accidentally blast a hole in your sub and turn it into an underwater coffin for you.
Legacies isn’t entirely about its rebel work, as you’re also able to enjoy the soothing sounds of the ocean waters as the flow around the sub’s hull, as well as the varied calls and cries of the ocean life around you. Good to be reminded periodically of why you’re doing all of this stuff. Through violence and peace, though, hopefully Max will find a connection to the mother he never knew.
Legacies is currently in development, but in the meantime, you can follow its creation on the game’s site or add it to your Steam Wishlist.
