The Game 
 Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade is a story about a young warrior who recently was declared champion to the city of Aven, the guardian charged with protecting the Crown and the Aven. The only problem about this title is that for a long time it has been a empty title, those that had it bestowed upon them spent the their Queen's term drinking and growing fat. Then, the day after the crown has been bestowed, an evil strikes at the great city of Aven. Danger assaults the city from all angles, deadly beasts and mighty warlords attack, with the city's defenders stretched thin, only one can do the key strikes into the heart of the enemy's camps and strongholds: the Champion of Aven.

Positives

There is hundreds of weapons each with individual power, there is also many sets of armor that you can use along with amulets and rings to increase abilities. There are four classes of characters that you can choose in the beginning: 1. An Alchemist uses powerful magics to kill her enemies and is good with smaller weapons. 2. The Knight is the character that uses a wide variety of weapons with finis and style, he uses also has more effective armors. 3. The Druid also has magics like the alchemist but they are more supportive than offensive, he is the archer of the classes and is also is good with blunt weapons. 4. Last but not least is the Berserker  who attacks the enemies with a savage ferocity with little regards to her personal safety. She uses small claws, throwing knifes has less armor than other classes but more life. Each class has different strengths and weaknesses that make them so different from each other that you have to play it just to see the different weapons, armor and abilities. Each class also has a "tech tree" of abilities that they can master as they level up.

Negatives
There is still negatives to the class diversity, because of there not only being limited armor to each class, certain weapons are unable to be used  by all of the classes (exe. Beserkers cannot use bows) This limitation though only goes so far, it is easily over looked for some people. Several things that people should know about Untold Legends are first that the Beserker class features a scantily clad female doing flips and tearing enemies apart, second, the powers that the Druid and Alchemist have are most definitely "spells." Some people may find this to be uncomfortable. The last is that there are certain enemies (it does not name many of them so no facts a definite) that may be ghosts, sirens etc. These may make some people feel uncomfortable about this game.

Conclusion
Positives in the game make it well worth playing several times, along with the swords, armor etc. The story line is intriguing. There are some bad parts to the Game but over is a definite play for anyone that like RPG's
9/10
