![]() ![]() I wanted to make an RTS game that involved Big Daddy Roth type demons and hot rods. “Like a lot of things, it was two ideas floating around my head that crashed into each other. “It’s funny,” Double Fine President Of Needing No Introduction Tim Schafer told RPS. It was a product of oddball inspiration, once-in-a-lifetime timing, and quite a bit of luck. But Double Fine's last truly all-or-nothing shout at the triple-A devil was unique for a number of reasons. Nowadays – a mere three years later – a similar meeting of minds isn't even conceivable. By most standards, Brutal Legend simply shouldn't have happened. Oh, and that was only after Activision flushed Schafer's metal dream into the nightmarish bowels of development hell, nearly dooming it in the process. And then let's remember that EA, of all publishers, was manning the unlikely super group's synth – which, in this particular case, was wired exclusively to make “ka-ching” sounds at Double Fine's behest. Let's reflect, for a moment, on how absurdly specific Brutal Legend's chunky thematic stew actually was. And a 100-strong soundtrack that pridefully pounded eardrums with everything from Judas Priest to Motorhead to (ew) DragonForce. Once again talk to Lita.An action-RTS inspired by classic heavy metal album covers. Once it is done, another cutscene happens, that tells us Doviculus is a more recent Empereor. Once you make it across the bridge and begin the assault on the Ophelia’s stage, just keep the units coming until it falls. Build up your forces, take advantage of the fact you have a lot of fans to spend and have an incredibly steady stream of them. Once all is ready, Double Team with the Rock Crusher to move in closer to the towers and hit each one in turn with the Bladehenge special attack. These also give a boost to Iron Heade’s attacks. Make sure you have a Rock Crusher in tow. Advance the rest of your army onto the bridge. This is on the only unit which can successfully punch through the shield that Lita mentioned at the start of the fight. Once things are ready, save up and then focus on taking the various fan geysers to get all the stage upgrades and use your new unit, The Rock Crusher. Holding them is very easy, just set the Flag to near the foot of the bridge, this lets you get units to the front fast. Keep at one level of stage until you take most of the 4 fan geysers. For fun, fly up to the bridge, if any Grave Diggers come, melt their faces. Brutal legend concept art sea of black tears upgrade#Upgrade the stage and pump out a few units. Right now, you cannot do much about the other side, so the best thing to do is completely take over the side you are on. Time for the Sea of Black Tears proper, so head there and talk to Lita. She then sets the stage one of the final battles. So begins another cutscene, where Ophelia told Eddie that his Father went with the Demon Emperor through time. Almost immediately after the cutscene, you are attacked by the Drowning Doom. Once you start down the slope, you will be in the clear, for a moment. Still, focus on the Reapers, as they will just keep assaulting the bus from the left and right. You will see a few other units make quick appearances if you diverge from the main route. They will come from behind and from the left side. Once you emerge though, expect another few squads of Reapers. ![]() Then it is smooth sailing until you reach the end of the Dry Ice mines. You will find more Reapers on the tail of the bus, so wipe them out as well. Waste them with all speed and catch up with the bus. It does not have much range (compared to the Homing Missiles) but the speed of killing can make all the difference on the Brutal Difficulty. ![]() I have found that the Lighting for the Druid Plow is very powerful, a Reaper dies in about 3 hits. So, buckle up, hold on and get ready to start shooting to kill. Secondary missions added: Iron Heade Sneak Attack, Summon Fiery Death, Ride the Death Rack Now, it is time for another caravan, this time to the Sea of Black Tears. ![]()
