groups me over a while do some very big tools they've done some of the biggest tools in the world but it also done some very clever things I've been into a kind of interactive and media from quite early days and they've also done some kind of really quite what was seen as odd thing so they launched a beer called trooper troop of beer in the dogs in the UK it's now a global brand and it's actually one of the one of the thing that the biggest real ale launch of the last decade so things like three million pints or something unbelievable that they sell of this beer I've never drunk it's obviously quite good beer but I'll see what I maiden looked at and so our fan base or they like the like I'd maiden and they like beer so we'll put together a beer for I maiden what's clever about the deal is they went to a lack of proper brewery and got a really good beer made so it'd be really good be if it wasn't for the Iron Maiden brand because it's got the I made and rain on it's really good beer and I maiden fans who very thirsty you drink it so we'll
see well that's what I now turn to do with the game so obviously I guess I'm n fans would like beer also maybe like to play mobile games it probly not such a big crossover I suppose but there's a lovely of the younger generation of people growing up maybe children of parents who like Iron Maiden so bitter younger one is perhaps they're going for and so I maiden have gone to a company called roadhouse games in Canada to make the game so let's kick it off that's a bit of a preamble who should approach and call me so that's quite good I can put my name in pump down so there we go so there we go that's a bit annoying them that's my unique IDs business only just for the game it's kind of weird i need to know that's by the time zone logged in login to the server off we go so it sings on the character so this is an RPG of ze Eddie is the kind of signature character here we go and Eddie throughout the years has done lots of different things dressed up in lots of different and costumes it's
kind of like us kind of weird almost like a superhero I suppose an antihero I don't know who's this further it's blown up that's fine the bits are falling to earth left going towards the way with RPGs isn't it this ok so we're seeing some of the different characters of Pharaoh Eddie so we're seeing this talisman sets of particular RPG thing will be interesting this game is RPGs clearly are very kind of asian-inspired please come Japanese but kind of Korean Chinese RPGs have their own different elements and that's kind of really blending in at the moment so interesting to see how how age in this RPG is particularly for food fight mobile games because they tend to have slightly harder monetization than the western game called overseen kind interesting conversation now particularly Star Wars here of guarantees from me ok so this lady is funny I was saying to use me in life so I than we know what to do stop Tony what do which is interesting so I'm just gonna okay use my tack so then go
tap on the circle overlaps with Dexter damage ok now get them to the circles there so it will do automatically but there's a little bit of skill in there which is tends to be a bit more of a tease power so cast all the text you seen w thing okay stun when you again technically not so keen on that bit guess I can attack so that's quite nice for an introduction to as what's going on here boss guy he was a good boss an ox cultist pitiful definitely okay so what's going on here that's my fury again throughout today it simply standard my fear of ultimate skill so I'm going to do my uncle's deal so that dis looks like it's automatic I'm not tapping anything on that when Z and I get some rewards of RPGs all about rewards on me so there we go three star three skull de moreover i leveled up and
I've got some stuff this is very RPG and what we'd expect from an RPG I've got a shard so pretty we will be using all this stuff I can replay that's interesting something see there's a time energy system in a kind of stained glass so I can replay it for three okay don't think Matt's RPGs looks like the Eddie characters as different rarities of 80 characters you want to come out bit like pokemon or marbles you wanna collect all different any characters on the clairvoyant hope to shatter your soul so go and collect my ok fair enough another different thing there so now we're seeing it's a team arena pvp quite clean interface though it's not too confusing like a lot of the asian games tend to be these for me so these charts ok so spending a bit of money soft currency
leveled up my powered up so my team weeks you've only got one on moments and I'm going to go back into the alien kingdom a bit of her this is the next got fight my way through the burning effigy what must happen on that okay sis is that these are the medicine okay spend a bit of energy there's the enemy's I'm going to have a moment of any thought one character and we see these four months that i'll hopefully unlock as i go on its loading pretty fast so you go so then we need this dialogue so now i can just choose what I want to do I can do that stun one perfect a traveling the ligament have exactly so good small attack and then he's going to take me probably whack see I'm a powerful way this guy again he was
the boss last time he's gonna do at least he's healing okay right so let's take him out so hopefully my fear is going to fill up a little bit and I can take these guys out otherwise he's gonna take a bit of time he's going to hear again he's gonna heal against a quick hand now he's done can I get in again this is a little bit slow we see there's another energy system
which is powering my am more powerful attack targets by the enemy share your strength against um ok so there's it looks like a bit of paper scissors scissors stone thing going on there and green means I have advantage I've been disadvantaged yellow MLS principal that sometimes these games beat them much to complicate our they do those systems suddenly have five ways and it certainly stun him at all come on fury and I'm i hope you my fear is gonna going to take them all out okay he's gonna list yeah my frame up is full now come on theory we go forever big attack you should just take them out oh just a one-man know if you think okay so that many does one attack a minute there's a
secondary one day limited okay took him at one good oh and reward so to put food rewards in so three started got some whatever those were Chris new things have leveled up so I've got some of gold that's the sock currency I'm got any of the timing things and I've got some there not shots a shot a big thing but uh book of souls and a self cosmos okay so no to another system now drag the soul into the portal to summerlin allies as it was a salty of my soul na bit in there and I'm gonna get hope another Eddie or maybe another character at least okay got a little dog and wicker dog of the night as the wicker man isn't
okay get souls and I've got any more by cells use the iron iron from balance name or song so it was my I night okay so that I light is that thing looks like mini shards I can buy a soul that's kind of someone we can see that the rarity systems going on here it's very much what we call come from japan called gacha gacha is a random thing you can you what's guaranteed is you win a character of a certain level so three to five stars but you're not guaranteed what character you want so if you want a particular character you end up playing a lot or paying a lot to randomly try and find those characters all those items you need so in the same thing again so we had a dog last time when it is timing and Eddie no I've got a tree golem or something a row column there's a tree Gonzi the end some so there we go so look at my team now as you want so matting okay cookies got do one more how we doing the time her over 10

they do one of those games were successful one not not saying it's just cuz water blade but i think you'd eat able to play the tap on allies to see the sto st. see different skills that can hold potential so tap owner that 10 to keep them that's what this guy did is you don't have a you just have a pesky track you know it's a tiger realistic so we now see it's gonna be a bit quicker hopefully because I've got three thank you gets to go first it was quite cool teen wolf busy so interesting we would also see the enemy's how much power the enemy has I guess that's why I look to that to f5 so what's the Golem using whack anything take him out where and then dog a doc and heal any one more
round you've got my canteen this is where in the situation just I'm not doing it then tactically we've got better at five every weekend okay boss oh how this is stalls granted heroes this is interesting they have a one boss character than these to support ones sir bobby's and they're not support them further sorry Mowgli cutters everyone's a glassy good okay um so golem let's try the shield again so let's do this tablet every regular ok so that's just your team attack that food scale now is there
taking a list come on to play home let's try the stun meet what what what got him who's gonna heal himself how nice look good so they're quite quick at least the level so far as and eat nothing to probably put a movie in that pain 3373 waves so weeks he hasn't suddenly level up now two sets of rewards the basic rewarding than these Luke and diagnose I can attach those these were the
talismans has not been equipped okay equip the New Testament how to do that got any other talismans that's it so still in the tutorial still tell me what to do our daily rewards okay good it's interesting it's hidden those a little bit it's getting it rewards and repeat the first world okay hey okay so still forcing together can yanking them don't do that anymore who've been going for 15 minutes that's enough so um so yeah kind of interesting to say not a personally not a ni mating fan at all so this game will have very less appeal then than other RPGs but in terms of RPG structure looks pretty Scott everything you want it's got not much depth as some of the Asian things which have too much depth as far as I can see for a Western audience it looks like there's the obvious system for powering up and equipping and squad lost you're gonna collect whole bunch and maybe there'll
be times when you want to use certain characters for their attributes rather than other ones most of time probably just play with the their favorite 80 characters so yeah all seems to be there a pretty good job so far thanks for watching so they say this is off first time user experience plane it's this is where we play games for the first time then we play ten minutes to play bit longer this time but just to give the first kind of experience not to say this game is going to be good after ten hours which is what people what developers want you to play or hundred hours or a year or whatever but I'm I think this is a pretty good bit of time to download the game initially the extra stuff from the game but pretty enjoyable and graphically looks looks nice almost as the music and has all the systems you'd want for an RPG it's not not dumb down anyway it is it is the true beer over half over i made napoles i guess so thanks for watching they forget to subscribe to our channel this is the kind of thing you'd like to watch so do try and do this pretty regularly lots of mobile free play games analyzed
so thanks watching hope to see you again
Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast is a mobile role-playing game (RPG) developed by Roadhouse Interactive that leverages the intellectual property of the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. The game centers on the band’s mascot, Eddie, who appears in various iterations based on his historical stage costumes. The primary objective of the game is to collect and upgrade these different versions of Eddie while navigating turn-based combat encounters.
The gameplay follows standard mobile RPG conventions, featuring a squad-based system where players manage teams of characters with varying rarities and elemental attributes. Combat mechanics incorporate a "rock-paper-scissors" style advantage system, skill-based timing for attacks, and an ultimate "fury" ability. Progression is driven by a gacha-style summoning system, where players use in-game currency to acquire new characters, alongside a resource management loop involving talismans, shards, and energy systems. The interface is designed to be accessible, avoiding the excessive complexity often found in some Asian-market RPGs while maintaining enough depth to satisfy core genre expectations.
The game serves as an extension of the band’s broader brand strategy, which has historically included successful ventures like the Trooper beer line. By targeting both long-time fans and a younger demographic, the developers aim to bridge the gap between music fandom and mobile gaming. The initial user experience is characterized by a structured tutorial that guides players through combat, team management, and reward collection. While the game provides a polished, graphically appealing experience with familiar RPG systems, its long-term appeal remains tied to the strength of the Iron Maiden brand and the player's interest in collecting character variants.
