Buy Legend of Korra

Short (6-8 hours for one playthrough) but *lots* of fun and with some replay value in terms of unlocking more powers and difficulties. Fun to hop into casually for a level or two even after the game is over.

First off, way better than i would ever have expected from a TV based game.

That being said, i had fun, it took a bit to get the hand of it, but once i did i had fun. Then they start to throw harder and harder things at you to where its not really even fun anymore. They get so hard you end up dieing about 20+ times before somehow you miraculasly beat it by chance only to get stopped again about 10-20 minutes later with a harder circumstance.

I gave up a few hours in. No realy story, and the difficulty curve made me not want to continue playing becuase i felt that it would just have become impossible after a certain point.

I cannot hate this game, but i dont have to like it either.

Beating up equalists with bending? Count me in!

The story is humorously bad, but the gameplay mechanics are quite fun. The camera is a bit clunky and camera movement hints are slow and unskippable.

I'd recommend you buy this when it's on sale. I wouldn't pay more than $5 for it.

The game is good if you're a fan of the Avatar series. It could be better. It could, for example, start from the beginning of the first series and retell both series in game form or it could start from further back with one of the previous Avatars and then move on to Aang and Korra. The bending of different elements is everything you would expect from those elements. I just wish they had added in the sub-elemental styles like metal-bending, healing, lightning manipulation, etc., etc..
The highest difficulty seems way too difficult when facing the last team. It doesn't seem to matter how hard you try to dodge their moves, counter them and dish out your own, they will just knock all of your team members out of the ring regardless.
Overall, I think this is a good (not great) Avatar game and I would recommend it to others.
It could have used some of Korrasami action, though. Now there's the type of bending I would have loved to see - lesbian bending.

Well what can i say about this game.
I love story of Avatar Aang and Avatar Korra i think they are two of most interestnig and fantastic things which i ever seen.
About a game. Game is welldone i like these drawings and videos in the story , like movements , like controllers . But heh sometimes its anoying when your camera isnt in that direction which you watch for .
And thank you very much for making a shop with general Airo i love him.
I think game is well created. It was a happy moment when i saw this game in Steam.
Thank you.

An excellent game worth buying. Just wish that the game had a longer storyline and that more factors from the anime was worked in like metalbending and bloodbending...

But all an all worth it! hoping on a sequal!

The Legend of Korra is an interquel set between seasons of the hit show with a story penned by one of the original creators of said show. But, is the game worth the price of admission?

Yes, yes it is. Though it is short, the price point alone makes it worthwhile to play. Plus, seeing Elemental Bending combat action by Platinum Games is a treat in of itself.

While many have complained about the game being "not as good" as regular Platinum Games. I fully beleive that executive decisions resulted in a quick cash-in game that could have easily been absolute garbage.

I write this review now, years after beating the game in four hours, because a recently released game based on a hit program, with similar themes to this is being bashed for being priced way to high for what it offers.

I am of course not going to mention that game, but it features students at an accademy in four man squads. That could be Naruto right? But it is not, it sadly is nothing like that, but my main focus of this review is to tell people that this game could have actually been a slap in the face of fans and been a truly horrible rush-job.

Instead, its a short game, but not a rush job, they also sold it for a fair price considering the quality of the character models, something this "other game I will not name" was bashed for because during its beta they downgraded the character models.

Trust me when I say that spending money and time with The Legend of Korra game is nothing you will regret and does not besmirch the name of the show it is attached to and inspired by and connected to unlike another game that is not in my game library until a sizable price drop due to the issues I mentioned.

Pros:

Faithful adaptation of bending arts in videogame form.
Combat allows the switching of unlocked bending styles to create a very deep combat system.
Artwork is faithful to the show.
The storyline is decent, practical, and makes sense considering the constraints placed upon the developers.
The Pro-Bending Mini-game is amazing!

Cons:

It is short, like, a few hours long but well worth it at the price point I initally got it for which was 15 dollars. If you cannot stomach that, wait for a sale and get it cheaper than that. I have paid fifty dollars for games with higher budgets that totally did not appear to be worth fifty dollars.

Considering the developer, you would have expected a better game, what few flaws were the recycled enemies. Granted, it is not too bad considering its length, but you will repeatedly fight the same enemy types.

They could have made a longer game, hell why did they NOT make a sequel adapting the final season with Platinum Games? That alone is a con because that is leaving money on the damn table!

Final words:

Still, The Legend of Korra is a rush job with proper balancing and heart that is worth the price of admission. Think of it as a ticket to a 3D interactive movie and enjoy yourself for a couple of hours. Heck, I would watch a Mover about the Ice Nation Civil War starring Captain Bolin, but I wonder who would play Black Widow? Asami? Totally Asami, who should have been in this game because most of the cast is missing, but, considering its length and the shoestring budget it was produced on. It is not a bad budget game.

First off, this is the first review I have ever written out of the 54 games I have on Steam.

This Game was super dissapointing.
Avatar:The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra are both one of my favorite shows of all time. The TV shows changed the way I live, so when I found out that I could hold the power to bend all elemets with a controller, you could imagine my excitement. Plus I got it on sale, so if that day were a trophy I would put it in a case.

But then I quickly learned that Dark Souls aint got nothing on this game. The "Normal" difficulty doesnt even give the player a chance. The only thing that gets more annoying than the same unbeatable hoardes of enemies and 30 minute battles with a boss that has a longer lifespan than God, is Uncle Iroh's voice saying "Thank you come again" when you have to waste all your currency on buying health instead of scrolls, which make you learn sick, new attacks. Straight up, this game ruined Iroh, my favorite character!

TL;DR: Pretty much just another Button masher.
If you are a real fan of the series, I wouldn't reccomend.
If you are self-loathing and often confuse fun with rage that could make a man stab a puppy, then this game is a great bargain
