history
The hero Targon is about to be accepted as an adept in the Order of the Holy Flame .

Only through the so-called hand of God is it possible to defeat the intruders and lock the portal forever ...
Special features of other role-playing games
On the one hand, Legend is characterized by the "Cinematic Combat System", a function that enables realistic 3D combat. On the other hand, the mouse pointer was designed as a light elf, which gives the player tips and also serves as a light source in dark areas . Actress Cosma Shiva Hagen , who is modeled on the elf, provides the voice of the elf . It also advertises the game on packaging and otherwise.

A Collector's Edition of Legend: Hand of God was also released parallel to the game . In addition to the PC game, the packaging - in special book form - included a soundtrack, the game's novel, an audio book, an art book and a tattoo of the game logo.
Browser game Legend / Tanoth
On March 6, 2008, the developer Master Creating published a spin-off in the form of a browser game , which was called Legend until September 2009 . Since the beginning of October 2009, after the separation from the developer Master Creating, Gameforge AG has made it available and further developed under the new name Tanoth in several languages - including German (Tanoth.de), English, French, Spanish. It can be played for free, but, as usual in the genre, it can also be accelerated by buying so-called blood stones. For example, more adventures per day are possible.
The game was first greatly expanded in early 2009. There has been an alchemist since then, and you have the option of going into dungeons to find new items or gold. Furthermore, small specials have been built in; So you get bonus attributes depending on the amount or number of hours worked, the adventures contested, the level of the dungeons, the level of the hero, friends and battles won. The higher the level or number, the more bonus attributes you get for the successes achieved.

Books
In 2007 a novel by Panini Verlag titled Legend: Hand of God: Demon Storm was published. This tells the history of the PC game. An audio book is also available on audio CD.
Motion picture
In 2007, director Uwe Boll secured the film rights to Legend and originally announced that shooting would start in 2008. Boll praised the game's “dark atmosphere and his very own kind of fantasy”. The budget was set at $ 40 million. Apart from the announcement of the film, no further planning has been undertaken so far.
Press
- GameStar , Patrick C. Lück: “Not every new game needs unusual ideas to be good. Sometimes it is enough to put the strengths of old classics into practice with care. Legend manages it. (...) Then why is it not enough in terms of valuation in top regions? Well, if you hardly come up with any new ideas, then it should have been a little more of the rest: more quests, more variety, more story, more items. "(79 percent fun)
- PC Powerplay , David Bergmann: "Legend is fun because killing monsters is quick and easy - and because collecting new items doesn’t miss its infamous addictive effect." (69 percent)
- PC Games : "Great light effects and three-dimensional textures in caves, (...) smoothly animated fights, (...) irrelevant story, short playing time" (69 percent)
