Well, this is nice.The animation is fine exept for some "shaky" part here and there.The action could use some improvement - make it longer and more intense(a few bullets, an order and that's it).The story...well, it isn't anything new.The military go to A but A is infested with something/by someone and our guys get screwed and need to get out.We've seen it in si-fi horror films and I'm 90% sure that it was an evil scientist or aliens that started it.I like the music, though the voice acting isn't perfect but at least it's not the worst I've seen.Adding solw-mo is always a nice idea but try to time it better.The lizard coming out - nice but it would be better if it was put when he gets shot.Bullets falling on the ground - not so nice because it's pointless and for me it felt like slowing the action without any real purpose.Also, why did Ashton kill himself?The enemies were far and he was so close to the door, yet he stays and dies.this kind of yur-over(or whatever term is used in english) is best applied when you have developed the characters.The opening episode isn't the best place to do it, unless there is some sort of deep connection between the chars. and there was no such connection here(at least not a visible one).The weapon design wasn't incredibly amazing but it isn't such a collossal mistake.The 2nd part needs to have more action.One mistake that you do NOT want to make is go all the way with cliches.And please, add it here on NG because I actually hate facebook(yes, I do - it's pointless and my e-mail is full of useless stuff by that damn site).
Reviews for "The Forgotten Legion"
Awesome review very helpful, I'll be sure to make a page here on new grounds, I never even thought about doing that.
Reminds me a lot of the Castle series. Anyone interested in this should definitely look it up! :D
The animation was decent, cinematics were nice, voice acting as well. My only concern was the tedium. It took wayyyyyy too long for the action to start. 90% of the animation was only camera panning and people walking in a space ship. So for the next part (if there's gonna be one) I advise you to make it more action packed.
and if possible make it less Castle-like just for the sake of originality.
Characters, dialogue and plot all very cliche, but the suspense-building was done well.
Also, you could have at least mentioned that this was inspired by "Aliens" and "Dead Space."
So it's dead space with stick people and lizards people. Great animation but poor creativity.
