Buy Legend of Korra

This game is a good game, for what it is.

That said, it isn't the best format of game to tell Korra's story. It has a pretty decent combat system, which encourages you to keep going at it and repeating levels too to unlock new powers/level up current powers, and when there's nothing else to do, it's fun to absolutely smash some of the lower levels again with your extremely leveled up bending powers.

But, story wise, it's somewhat like a new season with the same voice actors, but it's really shallow, and also the combat focus doesn't lend well to the story at all. Additionally, the combat is fairly unintelligent; just waves of similar enemies coming at you, and very soon you can get away with mere button-mashing. Facing opponent benders is perhaps the only challenging aspect, but even they are very mechanical opponents to face - you either lose badly, or you grind out a routine strategy. The final boss fight is incredibly disappointing.

This game also has two minigames - the pretty awesome Pro Bending mode, and the incredibly annoying and frustrating temple run ripoff between levels. The Pro Bending mode is reasonably good - it's still a grindfest where you have to pretty much follow a routine but it keeps you on your toes and is a fun arcade style game that could even stand on its own as maybe a $5 steam game. It features only once at the very beginning of the story, and after that becomes a separate feature on the main menu. The temple run ripoff "Naga running missions", however, are f***ing irritating - they're mandatory at the end of a lot of the levels, and such a stupid idea. Sure, if it happened once in the story and got relegated to a main menu minigame like Pro Bending, I probably wouldn't mind, but they're there almost every alternate level, and provides controller-breaking levels of frustration. If I wanted to play temple run I would whip out my iPad, not play an Avatar game.

The story mode is also very, very short, and this game really doesn't have that much replayability. I have only 3.2 hours on record and I've finished the game twice. The only real hurdle I had was the first playthrough on normal, when I first faced pro-benders. That was near impossible, until I got a hang of the mechanics. If you scroll through the reviews, you'll notice there are two categories of players - those that got stuck, or those that just grinded it out. That isn't the quality expected of an Avatar game that could've easily won the hearts of millions. That said, the art style and the music was bang on, and that was almost enough to redeem this game. But it's just too monotonous - I just have no motivation to bother to grind through the same story yet again on extreme difficulty, there's just no incentive.

If grinding out a monotonous combat sequence is your kind of thing, this game is actually one of the better ones out there - the attacks are pretty cool, and the arenas are reasonably decent. And the combat art is appreciably Avatar like - this actually feels like being the Avatar somewhat, a childhood dream since the days of the Last Airbender.

If it's on sale, consider it; otherwise, it's not really worth it. It's not an epic Avatar worthy game, but a decent casual arcade game with monstrous difficulty that can swallow your time away - you'll either endure the grind or get sickeningly frustrated.

This game was pretty hard. I did manage to beat it in one sitting (about 3~4 hours). It should be stated that I played on the easiest difficulty on my first play through. Now lets get into the game:
=Standard hack n' slash game
=Tough game even on easiest difficulty (atleast until you get powered up)
+Fairly good graphics
+Able to use all 4 bending elements (water, earth, fire, air) and can switch between them easily
-Game also has a few missions where you ride Naga (Korra's noble steed) through an obstacle course that resembles Temple Run which can get a bit annoying
+Items in the shop don't cost a fortune to purchase
-Some of the boss fights are ridiculous, especially on harder settings (multiple bosses with 1 mistake causing you to start over from the beginning of the fight)
=Story was nothing great, but as a fan of the series it was fun just to play through it
-Game is pretty short
-Camera system is okay but it can get annoying to deal with
=You can replay the game on a harder difficulty while keeping all the stuff you unlocked
+Can participate in pro-bending battles that are fun for a bit
+The different elements each have their own unique fighting style and it can be pretty satisfying shredding through enemies with the big air bending techniques

This game was fun while it lasted but I don't see myself coming back to it. One of the big considerations I take when looking for a game to play is how long it'll be fun to play for. This game was pretty short. I would still recommend this game to those who are fans of the Avatar series and are up for a little bit of a challenge, but this game shouldn't be bought at full price.

Here are some quick tips on those who do decide to buy the game:
-Water bending is good for hitting enemies who are on different elevations than you and is also fairly long ranged
-Earth bending is pretty useful against bosses. It is slow though
-Air bending is my favorite and is great against big crowds
-I never found myself using fire bending very often so I can't provide much info on it
-Once your bending levels up, you'll unlock the ability to charge your attacks by holding the attack button down. Wait until the circle around Korra closes in on her and then unleash the attack. This charges your chi and makes all your attacks stronger. As your bending level increases this chi bar (located under your health bar) will get bigger and have higher charge levels
-There are 2 costumes and 1 item you can unlock by inputting button commands. You can look these up with a quick google search.
-Jump and dodge, jump and dodge, jump and dodge
-Countering took a while to get used to the timing but it does pretty good damage to the big bosses
-There are a few times you fight multiple bosses. Focus on one at a time. Jump and dodge. Do the quick time events to inflict a fair amount of damage on them. Also a helpful hint if you are having troubles is that if you cant see the other bosses on your camera, then they won't attack you. So if you lock on to one of the bosses and rotate your camera to get only him in your field of view, the other ones won't attack you
-Having troubles against the motorcycle equalist? Use water bending. Jumping and attacking will cause you to create a water pillar under your feet which keeps you in the air and allows you to keep attacking. Air bending does this too but I believe that normal projectile attacks of air bending only travel horozontally and won't hit foes on different elevations than you like water bending will.
-I started on casual difficulty and still had troubles at a few parts of the game. You can also start on casual difficulty and use it as a chance to get familiar with the combat system and then increase the difficulty later if you wish.

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!
