Tim Schafer Tells Us How to Play Brutal Legend, In a Word "Action!"

Brutal Legend has just been released, and aside from the fact that it is a truly unique game, it's also confused some players.

While Brutal Legend may have originally been conceived as a real time strategy game it is very much a new type of action game. An action game where you don't jump, and you control troops. Told you it was unique.

To help those who struggle to rock much less roll, Tim Schafer has put up an open letter explaining the best ways to handle the epic Stage battles. In short, worry less about troop management and more about battle.

Strategy as fan service? Kudos to you Tim Schafer, this is yet another example of why you are a game designer of legend.
