Legend of Korra is a third person character action game like Platinum's previous games Metal Gear Rising and Bayonetta. As the Avatar, bend the 4 classical elements (water, earth, fire and air) to fight enemies. Mix light and heavy attacks to create combos against all kinds of enemies ranging from Chi-blockers, other benders and spirits. Dodging, blocking and parrying are just as important as attacking because this game is no joke.
Controls:
X/A: Jump
Square/X: Light attack
Triangle/Y: Heavy attack
Circle/B: Finishing move
L1&R1/LB&RB: Cycle through bending styles
L2/LT: Block (Press at the last moment for a parry)
R2/RT: Dodge
Bending Styles:
Waterbending: Perfect for long range combat and keeping some enemies at bay while you focus on closer targets.
Earthbending: Powerful, close range combat for clearing away mobs with AOE attacks.
FIrebending: Fast, combo-heavy close range attacks focusing on single targets.
Airbending: Versatile close to medium range attacks that can target single or multiple enemies.
Bonus Game Modes:
Pro-Bending: Like the show, Korra can team up with a pair of brothers, Mako and Bolin, to participate in a unique bending sport. Each 3 person team consists of a Waterbending, Firebender and Earthbender. Use your Waterbending to attack the other team, pushing them back across the map. Each time the 3 members of the opposing team are pushed far enough behind, they enter their back zone, allowing your team to move up one segment. Continue advancing across the map until you can knock them all off the edge! Controls consist of standard light/heavy attacks, dodging, blocking and parrying, but all in a limited form.
Naga Running Game: Control Korra's trusted polar-bear-dog, Naga, in an endless runner type game across Republic City. Use jumps, slides and all 4 forms of Bending to make sure Naga gets to her goal as fast as possible without crashing into cars or buildings!

Legend of Korra is based on the sequel to a critically acclaimed Nickolodeon cartoon series, Avatar: The Last Airbender. Set in a world divided into 4 elemental states, Korra takes the role of the current reincarnation of the legendary Avatar. She is a hot-headed 17 year old Waterbender from the Southern Water Tribe located at the South Pole. As Avatar, her duty is to maintain harmony between humanity and the spirits while resolving conflicts between the states. Only the Avatar can bend all four elements and bring balance to the world!
The game takes place between the second and third books (seasons) of Legend of Korra. While it is possible that the game spoils plot points from books 1 and 2, this OT will not reference anything beyond that. Hopefully any newcomers enjoy the game's story and world enough to catch up with the TV series.
PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL SPECIFIC PLOT POINTS OF ANY BOOK.
