Description

Hood: Outlaws & Legends for PC is an action adventure game played from a third person perspective and it is a combination of old-time fantasy and a thoroughly modern lack of morals as your prime aim is thievery! The player takes the persona of an outlaw whose aim is to bring down the nefarious ‘State’ by infiltrating their well-guarded and treasure-filled Keep.

About the Game


But there is more to the game that you and a bunch of team-mates trying to take down the Keep and get to the treasure. You, and your band of up to four players (including you) must go head to head with fellow outlaws for possession of said treasure currently snugly in the Keep’s vault.

The heist is in three parts: first, you must steal the key from the sheriff of Nottingham. The Sheriff is a boss character and defeating him signals the end of the first phase. Phase two involves both parties of outlaws being given clues to the whereabouts of the vault, after which the game is on to get there, taking out both enemy outlaws and Keep guards. Once the treasure is yours, you must get to the extraction point safely – and this is the end of phase two.

The last phase is where your personal greed and altruism battle against one another as you decide, à la Robin Hood, exactly how much treasure to keep, and how much you will give to the poor by working the Scales of Justice. Don’t be tempted to be overly generous though, nor yet too stingy! You must keep enough to warrant your continued successes – buying equipment etc, while giving away enough to earn rewards, and for the poor to survive and support you.

Fun Facts to Know


Playing against AI guards and the opposition team and trying to make your way around the Keep, makes for a great PvPvE (player versus player versus environment) game with enough real human interactions to mix it up in a way that computer programming can seldom achieve!

Winning earns you perks, such as level-ups, while clothing and weapons can be purchased with the gold you gain. Get some practise in during training mode, which lets you get to grips with your weapons and controls – but, in training, you are on your own against the AI soldiers which can feel a bit lonely!

Be sure to keep an eye on the AI guards in the game as they respond to intruders and can give you valuable insights into movements that you cannot directly see. Make sure they don’t see you either as they can summon reinforcements and block off areas of the keep, leaving you stranded from your goal.

Four Characters to Play As


Choose one of the following as your own persona, and allow your teammates to choose from the others. You can, if desired, all play as the same character, or each choose a different one.

The latter is recommended as each character has, as you will see, very different and valuable skills, all of which come in handy during the game.

  • Ranger: Robin Hood, the bow wielding marksman of legend. He can shoot explosive arrows

  • Hunter: Maid Marian, a specialist in stealth kills when there are too many guards nearby for comfort. She carries a crossbow and can unleash handy smoke grenades

  • Mystic: Friar Tooke (sometimes spelled Tuck) has a near magical ability to get into places he is not meant to be in, which comes in handy in a locked Keep. He is excellent at supporting your team and disrupting enemies, whether AI guards or opposing human outlaws

  • Brawler: Little John is a best at melee fighting and has a big hammer and not afraid to wield it when necessary. He can also hold portcullis.

  • Hood: Outlaws & Legends for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

    The game is fun at times and it will drive you insane at times. The crossplay is bad. If a PVPPE game can't stand on it's own without multi-platform play I don't think it will survive. Seems that some classes are unbalanced and OP.
    • Fun
    • Fast paced
    • Great concept
    • Unbalanced
    • overpriced
    • unfinished
    • needs more to do
    • Console gets more attention

    Overall a very clunky mess of a game, fighting, dodging, and blocking feel very inconsistent while the stealth mechanics just are just outright flawed. Feels like a game never fully released from the alpha stages. Did i mention the locked 60 fps ?

    Overall great concept but just very poor executions resulting in this pump and dump mess.
    • Good concept
    • frame rate
    • clunky mechanics
    • Buggy
    • overpriced for what it is

    The developers refuse to give preorder bonus even if you started the game before official release and on the steam page the game tags are wrong so this should be the first red flag but let´s talk about the game itself:

    The game is a total nightmare and feels like you play a late alpha or early beta.

    A lot of things are broken and the controlls feel clunky.

    The game has no quick use options for pinging things and also no quick use options for your equipment so if you want to use for example a gas bomb in a fight you need to equip it, get hit, maybe get hit twice, then you start throwing animation, get hit while doing it and get hit again... this should end up getting you killed and the enemy is in a gas cloud that lowers his stamina.

    The delay in this game is so hard it feels like you play with 250 ping but you can´t even see your ping because there is no option to show your own ping.

    The AI is super bad but at the same time they can see stuff behind them without turning for no reason at all when you kill something near them.

    Blocking and dodging is a mess because sometimes it works and sometimes not without any indicator whatsoever but that could just also be lag.

    Speaking of lag: even if you play with people that live in middle europe and you are too living in middle europe your still have that high delay.

    There are so much more issues and the game has nothing besides a good idea to back it up.

    But to keep it short i put the rest in positive and negativ points.
    • good concept idea
    • false advertising and scamming
    • clunky controlls, super high ping, terrible bad ai, blocking and dodging does not work well
    • super toxic community so if you for whatever reason end up buying mute the voicechat (there is voicechat with enemies team)
    • basic features are missing: quickuse for ping/equipment, ladder/rope counterplay, show ping and fps
    • bad endgame mechanics that let you win by doing absolutly nothing until the very end and terrible character balancing
