Buy Modern Fantasy: Urban Legends PC key

Modern Fantasy: Urban Legends is a turn-based RPG with action elements, set on a remote rural island in North America. An infectious disease has caused a zombie epidemic in the isolated city of Tanopah. As a lone survivor, you set out to help your family and friends, find your missing childhood friend and uncover the cause of the outbreak. The story has a good ending and a bad ending.

Explore the island

The island is home to undead zombies, hostile animals, unfriendly people and mutant abominations. NPCs follow daily agendas in a time system where every real second counts as an in-game minute. Seven distinct days and nights bring dynamic soundtracks and weather effects; many characters, including travelling merchants and the Fishing Guru, follow routes and offer different dialogue and quests at different times.

You can explore an inverted parallel version of every exterior island map through portals. After learning Psychic Teleport IV by leveling up, you can also access the Trials of Madness and generate island maps by timing the action button to mix and match map sections into different shapes.

Fight and grow stronger

Battles take place in turns, with an action meter that lets you attempt pre-emptive attacks and victories. Sneak up behind an enemy and time the meter to strike first; a well-timed action can win the encounter outright and skip the battle. Enemies can also catch you in their line of sight and strike first, while facing each other within one another's sight leads to a normal battle. Agility determines how often you and your enemies can act, and you can use psychic abilities or items to heal during the pre-battle swirl animation.

You can use psychic abilities and martial arts, and recruit hostile animals after defeating them. Four animal companions are recruitable, each with unique attacks and battle stats. Character creation lets you choose a male or female character, a favorite color and one of 12 Animal Zodiac Signs, which benefit your class in different ways. When you have enough experience, you level up manually and distribute stat points as you choose.

Activities and dungeons

Fishing raises your proficiency as you catch fish, and tournaments let you compete against NPCs with different difficulty levels and reward tiers. You can also grow and harvest 16 crops on an abandoned farm; watering seeds and plants more often leads to higher-tier crops. At the digital game board, roll the dice and time your action to aim for a tile, with rewards on offer alongside enemy and status-effect tiles.

Five story-focused dungeon caverns, with some puzzles, are required to complete the main quest. More than 20 optional dungeon maps and caverns offer unique moves for your character, companions and guardians. You can also buy and run a gas station convenience store after obtaining the land deed from Tanopah City Hall. Set prices for individual customers, some of whom may walk away if they are too high, while others may offer rare items.

Other ways to play

The underground arena lets you bet on combatants or fight your way up the ranks for unique items, credits and experience. Pre-emptive victories can earn experience quickly; otherwise, fights play out in turn-based battles. Defeating enemies also grants soul coins: collect nine to activate the soul slots, then stop each slot and match three symbols in a horizontal row for extra credits or rings. Three Xs cost you credits.

A quest log helps you keep track of your objectives. The game also includes 64 achievements that reward in-game content, animated enemy sprites, player sprites that change with equipped hats, and looping pixel-pattern animations in battle backgrounds. Its maps feature NPC sprites with individual breathing animations, and exploration includes blood-and-gore cutscenes.
