I Think You Should Revisit ‘Nimian Legends: BrightRidge’ After the Huge Upcoming Update

TouchArcade Rating:

If you haven’t played Nimian Legends: BrightRidge (Free) when it came out some time ago, you missed out on a lovely open world experience which was a commendable effort by its sole developer despite some issues (like repetitive music, for instance). The developer hasn’t stopped working on the game since it released, and recently he’s been working on a huge update that will improve all aspects of Nimian Legends to the point where it will look like a new game. Once the new update hits (which it should pretty soon), it will come out as a new game, Nimian Legends: BrightRidge HD, and the original one will go free. The reason for this new app is that the game will now utilize Apple’s Metal, so the developer had to get the game out as a new app.

And the reference to Metal brings me to the main reason why Nimian Legends got my attention again; the game’s visuals look great, especially the landscape. I mean, check out the trailer above (and it’s not even running on high detail) and the image below, and you’ll understand what I mean. Nimian Legends is all about exploring an imaginary world, and when that worlds looks so good, it makes you want to get lost in it. But the developer is doing more than simply improving the visuals; the update will also add new shapechanging abilities (including the ability to change into a dragon), new wildlife with more complex AI that allows it to exhibit more complex behaviors, new character choices (you can play as both male and female), new locations, more music tracks, and a lot more.

And this is not all since around May, another update will add a storyline with quests that should give players even more to do and bring the game in-line with more traditional RPG adventures. All this from one guy; that’s pretty impressive. So, keep an eye out for Nimian Legends: BrightRidge HD. I think it’s definitely worth a look if you like open world games that look great on your device.
