Description

Brütal Legend is an action-adventure that marries visceral action combat with open-world freedom. Set in a universe somewhere between Lord of the Rings and Spinal Tap, it’s a fresh take on the action/driving genre, which in this case is full of imitation cover bands, demons intent on enslaving humanity and Heavy metal tunes. Featuring the talents of comedian, actor and musician, Jack Black as super roadie Eddie Riggs, as well as cameos by some of the biggest names in metal music it's a wild ride in the belly of the beast that is not to be missed by gamers and Metalheads alike.


Included as a free bonus in the PC version of Brütal Legend are both the Hammer of Infinite Fate and Tears of the Hextadon multiplayer map packs.

Story
The vivid and wildly creative world of Brütal Legend is brought to life through a spate of chrome, leather, rocker babes, epic music, fire-breathing/stud-wearing beasts, mountains made of guitar amps, and more. Follow Eddie as he embarks on a tour of epic destruction with an axe, a guitar, and his minions as he commands the power of rock in epic band battles. It’s lighter-flicking awesomeness that will melt your face clean off.

Combat
Brütal Legend’s combat is a combination of classic action slasher and real time strategy mechanics. Melee and ranged combat come from your double-sided broadaxe and demon-slaying, pyrotechnic-creating guitar. Add that 1-2 punch to a guitar solo mechanic that can summon objects, buff your teammates, or cripple your opponents, and you have a deep, gratifying core gameplay combat loop that is fun for the hardcore and accessible for the casual. On top of that, players will journey from Roadie to Rock God by commanding legions of metalheads into Brütal Victory and sending troops charging into battle.

A Streaming Open World
Brütal Legend gives you the freedom to walk, drive, or fly anywhere in a fully streaming open world whose art style is inspired by some of the most iconic and hilariously rad metal album covers ever created. Every vista in the beautiful universe of Brütal Legend looks like it was pulled from a Frank Frazetta painting.

Packed With Cameos and Voice Talent
Brütal Legend is full of cameos from gods of metal like Lemmy Kilmister, Rob Halford, Lita Ford, and many, many others. It has a MASSIVE metal soundtrack from every era of metal music: 1970’s classic metal to 1980’s hair metal to the scarier cousins of 1990’s metal. And of course, Jack Black pays the ultimate homage to metal as Eddie the Roadie, continuing the theme from the work of his band, Tenacious D and his previous films like School of Rock and High Fidelity.

Multiplayer Mayhem
4v4 "skirmish" multiplayer marries action combat with a strategic unit-control mechanic. As the leader of one of the factions in the game, the player will direct his armies in a Battle of the Bands where the trophy is survival. Brütal Legend’s multiplayer is online-enabled, so you can conquer your friends online (broadband connection required for online play).

Music
The music in Brütal Legend is truly massive. Made up of 108 of the most rocking tracks from 75 different bands representing every sub-genre of metal, it is something to experience in and of itself.

Brütal Legend is a game that holds a unique and cherished place in the realm of gaming, especially for fans of heavy metal, action-adventure gameplay, and truly original storytelling.

Released in 2009 by Double Fine Productions and led by the creative vision of Tim Schafer, Brütal Legend merges heavy metal culture, real-time strategy, and open-world exploration into an unforgettable experience. It stars Jack Black as Eddie Riggs, a roadie transported into a mystical heavy metal-inspired universe where gods, demons, and monsters battle for supremacy. This world is dripping with the essence of metal—everything from the landscapes to the weaponry is inspired by classic album covers and metal lyrics.

One of the game’s crowning features is its soundtrack, which is arguably one of the best in gaming history. With over 100 metal tracks from bands like Motörhead, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, and Megadeth, the music sets an unparalleled tone that metal fans will recognize as a love letter to the genre. This soundtrack doesn't just play in the background; it becomes an essential part of the atmosphere and adds depth to battles and exploration alike.

The gameplay itself is a bold mix of hack-and-slash combat, open-world exploration, and real-time strategy elements. Players can hack their way through hordes of enemies with Eddie's guitar "Clementine" and his battle-axe, "The Separator," or they can hop into the Deuce, Eddie's souped-up hot rod, to cruise through the epic metal landscape. The real-time strategy aspect introduces "Stage Battles," where Eddie commands armies of headbangers, razor girls, and other rock-inspired troops in massive, chaotic battles to seize control of territories. The RTS mechanics might feel a bit unconventional for some, but they’re perfect for players willing to embrace the game's uniquely heavy metal vibe.

Visually, the game boasts a distinct art style that remains strikingly original and refreshing even today. The landscapes, reminiscent of metal album covers come to life, are filled with towering skulls, lava rivers, and guitar-shaped mountains, all of which feel as if they were lifted straight from the wildest dreams of metal fans.

In terms of character and humor, Brütal Legend shines brilliantly. Jack Black brings Eddie Riggs to life with his signature mix of wit, sarcasm, and unbreakable enthusiasm. The game’s humor is sharp and self-aware, with cameos from rock legends like Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead, Ozzy Osbourne, and Rob Halford adding an additional layer of authenticity and charm. It’s rare to find a game that’s both hilarious and heartfelt, but Brütal Legend delivers on both fronts.

The game is not without its quirks; the blend of genres might feel disjointed for some, and the RTS elements can feel clunky for those expecting pure hack-and-slash action. However, for players who are willing to embrace its eccentricities, Brütal Legend offers a one-of-a-kind experience that has become a cult classic.

In short, Brütal Legend is a celebration of heavy metal culture wrapped in a package that combines humor, music, and gameplay innovation. It's a title that, while perhaps not perfect, resonates deeply with those who appreciate its uniqueness and audacity. For fans of heavy metal, Jack Black, or simply games that dare to be different, Brütal Legend is a must-play journey into the heart of rock and roll mythos!! \m/
