Magic & Legend: Time Knights

Magic & Legend: Time Knights is a platform action-adventure game about two brothers who pursue aliens through time to save the world. When the aliens arrive on Earth to take its natural resources, they open a portal to the past to avoid human technology and take over the human race. After telling their Mom, Magic and Legend follow them through the portal.

Five time periods

The game has five large, sprawling levels, set in:

• The present day, in “The Journey Begins…”
• Medieval Times
• The Sengoku Period
• Ancient Rome
• 1960s London, in “The Crown Jewel Heist”

You must defeat all the aliens in each level before entering the portal to the next time period. Each brother has his own costumes, weapons and abilities, and other portals lead to optional mini bonus levels. In these, you play as a dragon, a squid, a ghost buster or a mole man with a mallet. The brothers eventually face a final boss who is determined to take them out.

Switch between brothers

You can switch between Magic and Legend at any point. Magic is the older brother and fights at close range with melee weapons; he can also stomp on enemies’ heads. Legend is younger and lighter, cannot stomp on alien heads, and attacks from a distance with a projectile weapon.
