We'll discover small twists during our work as galactic laborer, such as mini-games that we must solve, for example, to repair the cooling system of the ship, or to try to communicate with the outside world, or even in the case of space combat -a true game inside the game, but it's better not to reveal too much.

The developers have in any case attempted to enrich the gaming experience by inciting the player to explore the Lexington across its 9 (!) floors. On the other hand here it is highlighted a first deficiency in Legend's work: the first half of the game is too serious repairing a ship stranded in the middle of nowhere is not the most exciting experience that can happen to you, I can assure you. The riddles observe the inert context and will be for the duration of the game absolutely logical. Also there will be numerous cutscenes, both in computer graphics and live action. Plus the look of the ship is so aseptic, almost hospital-like, that the player will feel even more a overwhelming feeling of loneliness, feeling softened only in part by the dialogues with the loquacious computer board. I can immediately tell that the graphics offer a more than satisfactory experience. Needless to say, as usual for a Legend game, you can die. Mission Critical looks like a cross between Myst and a classic graphic adventure: we will face the entire game in first person, advancing in static screens, but at the same time we have our trusty inventory to solve many different object-based puzzles. He leaves only one person behind with the heavy task of repairing the ship and finishing the job, alone. The plan is to blow up the enemy ship at the cost of the lives of the crew of the Lexington.

Defeated Captain Dayna takes a drastic decision: to surrender all the crew to the enemy, but together with a nuclear device. But something goes wrong: the ship is intercepted by an enemy cruiser that manages to win the battle and disable the Lexington. The USS Lexington is heading towards an unknown target, a classic top-secret mission. Year 2134, in the midst of the war between the United Nations and the Alliance.
