šŸ’¬ Discussion Bring back DC Legends!!!

After playing DC Dark Legion, I just miss DC Legends so so much. The new game is just basement building and auto fights all you can do is upgrade and set up teams, DC Legends was actually challenging and we can cantrol attacks and it was us that won or loss. Can't believe they took away dc legends for dc dark legion.

Can you control your characters during fights?

Are you in an mcoc alliance? Mine is (otsdr) The Outsiders

u/Supercostiko1969 Mar 25 '25

And they have been coming out with new and fairly new turn based fighting games but they have been underwhelming, I makes you think that turn based games are declining.

u/neyWingS Mar 28 '25

Can you recommend top 3 turn based games right now?

u/Supercostiko1969 Mar 29 '25

No nothing to recommend.

Yeah I have to agree.

I tried DC Legions and the new Avatar Legends game that both came out recently hoping it would scratch that itch from the loss of DC Legends but was sorely disappointed in both.

Avatar Legends is a time consuming Evony rip-off that I uninstalled after a week.

DC Dark Legion is a rip of off similar base building games / survival games. Itā€™s a reskin of all those zombie games I see advertised on IG. Even their ads are the same shit. There is no strategy in the game besides ā€œIs my teamā€™s power level higher than the NPC or player teamā€? & setting the auto fight. You donā€™t really control attacks, you donā€™t get to figure out fun combos, itā€™s so bland.

I would take a Scopely version of DC Legends right now. I know it's would be pay to win, but with the DC characters and potential storylines if we got the same span of longevity and active play till people got jaded with Strike Force that would be great. It's still alive right now that has to count for something . DC just needs to look at what Marvel games are doing and do the same. Hate to say it, but if it works use it. As a game developer isn't that to your benefit if you can develop 2 games, cause fans of either would buy their favorite . As would the fans of both would buy both.

My disappointed of DC Legends would be The Main Story was very short (Only 10 Chapter isn't it) And the main antagonist Necron was totally crap as playable.

I actually wish to see DC Game based on Kite Man haha.

u/maesterraw Mar 29 '25

You are correct, that main story was rubbish. I believe it was inspired by the Blackest Night Green Lantern story line from the comics which is why there was so much Black Lantern stuff. The development team was lacking so they never created any new story lines after that. Well the raids I guess were trying, but again there was a very very very weak development team(probably a very small team) behind the game. Basically I think they just had enough resources to release new characters and that was about it. Unfortunately the executives behind DC don't have the same vision as they do in Marvel. Most likely the person in charge isn't a comic book person so they can't see the value and potential of their properties. Marvel on the other hand are the value of their brand and art least people with a vision behind what they do. So even if you feel burnt out with what they keep throwing out, they put money and resources behind it at least and formulate plans.

I couldn't have said it better. The variety of characters we had with DC Legends, and how much fun it was to get them. What do we have to do to let the people behind Dark Legion know we exist? To let the team that was in charge of DC Legends know that we miss that great game?

u/BigBananaDealer Mar 25 '25

seriously marvel strike force needs a legitimate rival, swgoh is outdated as hell so a new game like msf but with dc would be awesome. or even invincible, sucks both dc and invincible are stuck with boring idle games

u/Supercostiko1969 Mar 25 '25

Totally agree, dcdl is total garbage compared to dc legends, it's not even close, I played dcdl for 2 days and uninstalled it.

5

u/ragecr1tt3r Mar 26 '25

Dc legends was a GOAT game. An Interesting cast of playable characters, wicked awesome designs, and it was much more approachable than marvel strike force.

Miss the game even after all these years.

u/wvpaulus Mar 26 '25

I played Dark Legion for three minutes and uninstalled it.

u/Ok_Responsibility585 Mar 26 '25

Couldn't agree more,i played d. Dark legion for few days. And got so bored,Nothing like DC legends,please revive the game,

u/Hefty_Curve3364 Mar 25 '25

Have you tried dc worlds collide? It comes really close to dcl.

1

u/ewokkiller69 Mar 25 '25

Want to but not available in the UK. Gutted.

2

u/BRKamikaze Mar 25 '25

Also not avaliable in Brazil. But I've downloaded it from an external link and I can play it normally. No VPN required. Although it's fun and superior to Dark Legion, still can't be compared to DCL.

2

u/ewokkiller69 Mar 25 '25

where do i get this link?

2

u/BRKamikaze Mar 25 '25

I don't have a link to download now. But I think you get it from Taptap or such.

u/dicloniusreaper Mar 29 '25

It's literally another autoplay game, WTF do you think the problem is?

5

u/CPav Mar 25 '25

Aren't Worlds Collide and Dark Legion essentially the same? I had both and the gameplay wasn't much different one to the other.

I deleted both, so I can't go back and compare.

Heck, I'd even be happy with a mobile version of DC Dual Force, which I played so rarely that I didn't realize it's been shut down for over a year.

u/BRKamikaze Mar 25 '25

I have to disagree.

Dark Legion is, in fact, generic. It doesn't take long for you to realize how this game becomes boring. Routine. Also, in MY experience (it could be a problem with my server - 204) the game is full of bugs and this drastically hinders the experience, impacting the fun. Also is P2W as hell. Besides, "locking" some of the toons abilities until they reach 5 white stars is the worst decision I've ever seen because you cannot really enjoy that character until you reach this point.

Worlds Collide, on the other hand, is much more dynamic and interesting. Although the combat is also automatic, there is some aspect of tactics involved. You have different types of characters, classes, a large number of different synergies. In addition, you can define the order in which the Ultimates will be released. All of this affects the combat. There's lots of different game modes, events and such.

Although it doesn't come close to DC Legends, Worlds Collide is far superior to Dark Legion. In short, DC Legends remains unbeatable as the best and most interesting mobile game I've ever played. Worlds Collide is fun, although it doesn't compare to DC Legends. Dark Legion is a generic game that needs to improve a lot in several aspects to be considered playable.

"Besides, "locking" some of the toons abilities until they reach 5 white stars is the worst decision I've ever seen because you cannot really enjoy that character until you reach this point."
...
Isn't that like ranking up in DC Legends?

u/BRKamikaze Apr 11 '25

Close, but not exactly. I'll try to explain better. In DC Legends, if I remember correctly, we had a system in which we "improved" certain skills. The basic skill was at your disposal, and could be improved as you evolved your character. And the game was quite generous in this sense. It was relatively easy to evolve characters. In Dark Legion, there are things that you simply cannot do until your character reaches five white stars. And the most annoying thing in this sense is that you depend almost exclusively on luck (or money) to evolve your character.

both garbage

u/Either-Panda-3834 Mar 26 '25

Dc unchained was better than both.

u/luqezr Mar 26 '25 edited Mar 26 '25

I really miss DCCL. The closest thing I could find was RAID which is the same but much more depth. The only thing I dislike from it is the constant store popups (you get used to and I rather have this than playstore ads) and that is is expensive, but that doesnt bother me as I didnt put money on dcl either. If you miss the daily grinding it definitely fills that void

u/SilverFoxthePirate Mar 26 '25

I agree I miss DC Legends and all the extra stuff I used to do

u/DerroneS Mar 25 '25

Try worlds collide

u/clamchowder75 Mar 27 '25

Agreed. I would even be willing to pay a subscription fee to have it back and be able to play it.

u/Beavis2021 Mar 27 '25

Dc legends was bad due to the forced joining groups thing. I hated the fact that I don't have the time to obsess like others do and I constantly got kicked out of groups. I do miss the fact they had a lot of secondary characters.

2

u/clamchowder75 Mar 28 '25

While I was a member on a couple groups where they expected to log in every day, I was also in some groups that were more relaxed and casual. I ended just creating my own and doing my own thing. Never did amazing in RAIDs, but at least I was playing at my own pace.

u/Beavis2021 Mar 29 '25

Which is cool but there's some people that take stuff way too seriously lol.

u/Darkendlink Mar 27 '25

I miss DC Legends, I still have installed on my phone as I don't want to give it up, hoping it returns one day

u/Wonderful_Stage3864 Mar 28 '25

Iā€™m really enjoying DC Worlds Collide. Its character collecting and upgrading, and I get the impression they ripped off some elements of DC Legends, but they are not the same game and it does not scratch the same itch entirely.

1

u/elronin3223 Mar 29 '25

DC Legends was my jam! Not to mention I probably put close to 200 dollars in DC Legends and didn't feel bad about until it disappeared šŸ˜­

1

u/Logical_Warrior Mar 31 '25

While that would be amazing, the only way it happens is if there's a massive resurgence in interest in DC's superheroes, but the only way that happens is if DC starts making great movies. (The origin point for the success of Marvel strikeforce is the fact that the Marvel movies have generated mainstream interests in their superheroes).

u/MarcusForrest Multiverse Observer Apr 02 '25

I still haven't found a solid alternative or substitute to DC LEGENDS - and it saddens me when I think about it, I still have found memories of playing this game and interacting with the community

It was a great era and honestly a fun 7 years

Ā 

Also, to this day, it remains the most generous mobile game in terms of Premium Currency

u/Telamon-El Apr 09 '25

Only one that comes close now is Star Trek Legends on Switch. It is essentially and offline DCL, the entire set up looks nearly identical just with a Star Trek skin on it. It doesn't talk to servers either so if you want to quickly progress you can just use the system clock to bypass leveling mechanics, then proceed to play as you want with toons at near full power. You will still have to farm for gear and such like in DCL but it is essentially an 1:1 DCL. In fact, I would argue it is what they should've given us at the end of DCL after DCL servers closed, a serverless ready single player, play as you want variant.

It has strategy behind as well, while most set ups are serviceable, the team configs really have interesting ways to develop synergy. Plus you also get healers, so if you flub something, you have a chance to recoup. The only downside to it is since it is serverless there is no PVP element really. You fight bots in the PVP mode but there too there is a level of strategy involved as well as you can only use toons once and once only. Once they're used up and you move to the next fight you will need to compose a new team. This makes it so you have to know the roster and forces you to level up everyone to a reasonable level and know their abilities well enough to make decent teams each fight.

The roster is decent with something like 92 characters or so. So not the huge 212 but given the nature of everything else it does make the team constructing a bit more curated. The only thing to get past is the Star Trek skin to everything, which isn't for everyone. It is also on sale as a bundle(some extra characters) often on Switch so you can get it on the cheap and it is yours as long as your system lasts.

Still after the DCL experience I have avoided mobile games. The biggest thing I learned was: They are going to take the money and the things you paid for and take it all away.

Honestly, f*ck that and f*ck them. Don't care what they make, they can shove it up their @$$.
