With a well-written but quite complex story and its simplistic and sometimes frustrating gameplay, Fallen Legion feels like it doesn't know where to stand. Even though it's far from perfect, this game that allow us to experience two different stories on PS4 et PS Vita can definitely entertain you if you're not too demanding.

Overview
The PlayStation 4 version of Fallen Legion, both versions have their own story and events following a different main character. "Get ready to battle the beastly hordes in Fallen Legion: Sins of an Empire! Join Princess Cecille, a steely warrior guided by an enigmatic talking Grimoire, on a quest to save her crumbling kingdom. Fallen Legion has an intense battle system where you control up to four characters simultaneously. One second your Exemplars are knocking a drake out of the sky and the next you’re commanding your team to block right before a magic spell hits to reflect it back at your foes. In between battles, you make split-second decisions that change how the game unfolds. Will you blackmail a prince for a speed buff? Or stand up to a warmongering governor instead of resurrecting a fallen party member? Each choice you make bestows a different power-up and permanently changes the world."

Fallen Legion is an adrenaline rush that is held back by a messy story.
Fallen Legion is a title that showed promise, with great 2D sprite work and a combat engine that is reminiscent of Tri Ace's classic, Valkyrie Profile. However, due to a myriad of factors, it falls short of fully realizing its aspirations due to its humdrum story and chaotic, oftentimes dull combat.
