Free idle RPG from a beloved franchise
Saint Seiya：Legend of Justice is a free role-playing game from HOOLAI GAME LIMITED. This idle RPG experience is based on the long-running Japanese manga and anime franchise Saint Seiya. Summon characters from the Zodiac and manage your own base through various activities, combining elements from different genres for a fun, engaging experience.
As an idle game, don’t expect too much controlling or strategizing from Saint Seiya：Legend of Justice. However, as with the rest of the franchise, the graphics and the soundtrack definitely don’t disappoint. Other games from the franchise include Saint Seiya Awakening and SAINT SEIYA SHINING SOLDIERS.
Complete the Knights of the Zodiac
A central aspect of the Saint Seiya franchise is the group of warriors known as Knights of the Zodiac, and Saint Seiya：Legend of Justice brings them to your device in the best possible quality. It retains the character designs and pays good attention to detail, unlike other anime-based games that use characters’ super-deformed (SD) versions. This visual quality is accompanied by a soundtrack that completes the full, authentic experience.
As mentioned, there are different game modes to explore and enjoy. It also has a gacha mechanic, letting you acquire characters based on randomized draws. Unfortunately, the designs and the power level are quite far apart, which places an unfair advantage on players that pay for microtransactions. This discrepancy is best highlighted once you try the PvP matches. Meanwhile, considering all factors, the Twelve Palaces mode is the best mode.
Aside from the play-to-win advantage, the game has some issues with its matchmaking servers, making it difficult to find a match. Also, the matchmaking isn’t polished well, with the risk of matching you up with players way beyond your skill level. If you’re on single-player, though, you can just grind away without worries—go through the palaces and draw heroes based on luck.
A top-tier Seiya app
As far as Saint Seiya adaptations go, Saint Seiya：Legend of Justice is a top-tier video game that will meet franchise fans’ needs. It features clear and vivid graphics paired with smooth animation. To top it off, it uses a soundtrack that makes it feel like it was made by the same team behind the movies and TV shows. Aside from the usual restrictions of gacha games, this game is recommended.
