The Frightwig then wraps itself around the enemy's head and causes the victim to join Ophelia's side in the battle. More complicated Double Teams include the Frightwig, who Ophelia can pick up and throw onto an enemy unit. Other units, like the Bride, seem to be just passive, debuffing units most of the time (the Bride slows down enemy units) but when you Double Team with her she has a devastating lighting attack. Sometimes you might simply gain control that units weapon for instance, when a Razor Girl jumps up on your shoulders-but when you do so you increase it's damage significantly. These moves are extremely varied, extremely powerful, and extremely fun to perform. Every friendly unit in your army has a move that they can only perform in conjunction with the player character.

You often command individual units to position them based on their heath and context. But if you are open to a new kind of action experience, you will have a blast.įirst, a note on the differences: In an RTS game you float high above the action, making one split-section strategic decision after another. First you will get mad, then you will scream, and then you will lose. If you try to play the stage battles in Brütal Legend as an RTS game then you will loose. The end result is something much more action-oriented, and I think, totally unique. Every time we focused the gameplay on the action, it became more fun. But then as we worked on it we simplified it, and simplified it, and focused it more and more on the player avatar and the combat. It is a historical fact that it began its life as an RTS game, inspired by Herzog Zwei. Here are some tips on how to get the most out of Brütal Legends stage battles.įirst, one thing to understand right off the bat - Brütal Legend: Brütal Legend is not an RTS game.
