Later on, you'll be able to unlock secret characters by participating in bonus levels, each of which has better statistics than the normal character that you can play.
Every character has a different spread of stats, and among the eight starting characters, there's a lot of variety.
You've got a character with four stats, Magic, Armor, Speed, and Strength, all of which go into determining how well you kick ass. Taking advantage of the four controller ports on the Gamecube, Dark Legacy lets you play along with three friends, a definite must for party games like this one. Special crystals and other items unlock the path to each realm, and in each realm await one of Skorne's warriors, guarding a key to the fortress. Aiding you on this quest are the mighty Warrior, trusted Wizard, fierce Valkyrie, and even more characters, waiting to wage battle. Only by defeating Skorne's warriors can you have any hope of breaching the walls of Skorne's prison, and only with the thirteen runestones can you banish him back to the Underworld where he belongs.
