Plot
Plot
The game is set in a world where technology is largely forgotten. Alto, the protagonist of the game, enters the Ivy Tower in order to find an ancient weapon capable of breaking a curse on his sister. Although he finds the weapon, it is in the form of a young girl named Melize, and thus Alto must now explore the dungeons inside the tower in order for her to remember how to bring his sister back to normal.
Gameplay
Gameplay
Legasista is a Japanese dungeon crawling role-playing game featuring an art style based on sprites. Players assume a customizable team of three characters. The game features job classes and equipment can be changed to the player's liking when the player reaches a certain level, and the characters' personalities can also be changed, along with how they fight. The game features randomly generated dungeons and thus has long replay value. The game takes place in dungeons within the Ivy Tower, and are filled with monsters. Players attempt to clear a floor of the dungeon and move on to the next. The monsters normally try to kill the player; the player's weapons to combat them include a sword, a bow and arrow, magic, amongst other weapons and skills. More damage is done if the player hits the monster from behind. There are also traps laid in the dungeons which not only hurt the player but also the enemies themselves.

Reception
The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. IGN said the game was targeted towards gamers who enjoy "grinding" to the detriment of everyone else. GamesRadar+ said, "While seemingly geared towards a niche audience of players that enjoy anime-styled protagonists and fanciful storylines, Legasista provides enough varied elements to create a welcoming experience for anyone to enjoy." However, VentureBeat gave the game a negative review, claiming it to be repetitive and boring, and summing it up as an "uninspired mess". The soundtrack, however, was praised. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of three sevens and one eight for a total of 29 out of 40.
