Accompanying him on his journey is the warrior and perpetual dango addict Ferris Eris, a woman who may be a genius with a sword, but is pretty clueless with almost everything else (except dango). The story begins with an attack by the Nelphan army on the person of Ryner Lute, a layabout who is on a mission for his trusted friend, boss, and cause of all of his problems, King Sion Astal of Roland. Now aside from mild curiosity at the obvious addiction to using the words "legend" and "hero" in some manner, one has to wonder if the anime adaptation can really live up to the popularity of the franchise.

eleven volume light novel series by Kagami Takaya was published in Dragon Magazine from February 2002 until October 2006 and has spawned a sequel (The Legend of the Great Heroes of Legend), and two spin offs (The Legend of the Legendary Heroes Anyway, and The Legend of the Black Fallen Hero), as well as being adapted as a drama CD, a PSP game, a manga, and the recent anime rendition. It's actually surprising how many people don't know the meaning or usage of the word, but rather than comment on the failure of education systems, let's have a look at how "epic" applies to an anime like Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu (or The Legend of the Legendary Heroes, whatever floats your boat). Take "epic" for example, and think about all of the occasions where the term has been applied as a colloquialism that simply means "I enjoyed it", "it was very good", or some other sentiment along those lines. Legendary is an original action shooter in which you have to fight against werewolves, griffons and other fantasy creatures to save humankind from destruction.These days we often misuse words in ways that sometimes don't make sense. As for playability, Legendary is packed with action: you need to be moving constantly, watching out for more monsters to kick, spotting possible hide-outs, looking upwards in case they're stalking you from the rooftops… In short, it has all the ingredients to please FPS fans – as long as you have the proper hardware to run the game. Enemy creatures on the contrary don't seem that realistic – though maybe that was the intention when creating them. Legendary features excellent graphics and physics, and is especially brilliant in the recreation of scenes and locations. Using the Unreal engine, Legendary provides you with an immersive experience set in today's world, only that instead of fighting enemy soldiers or terrorist groups, you have to kill werewolves, griffins and other nasty creatures.

This is the main story behind Legendary, a frantic adventure that mixes action, horror and myth in an exciting first-person shooter.
