I have yet to run across a male character who is carrying weapons around. (They do have clothes!) Incidentally, the male characters don’t seem to need weapons. I don’t really want to play a lovesick anything, so I’m left with the warrior princesses.The warrior princesses are all very similar to each other in design, with different weapons and clothes. So, as of now, my female character choices in Rayman Legends involve playing either a warrior princess (all of whom look vaguely threatening) or a lovesick Teensy Queen. In addition to these five princess warriors, somewhere along the way, I managed to pick up a Teensy Queen, who appears to be a non-warrior princess, and “who only has eyes for her childhood hero: Rayman!”
However, the five princess warriors I have saved all sound pretty capable on their own:
(Largely because I dislike the particular levels I must beat to save them). These female characters must be saved despite the fact that they are by and large referred to as “warrior princesses.” They seem more princess than warrior to me, if they must be saved before they can be useful.ĭespite countless hours playing Rayman Legends, I have thus far only managed to save five of these princess warriors. This is because the majority of the playable female characters must be saved before they are unlocked. Unfortunately, I was quick to discover that in Rayman Legends you still cannot begin the game playing as a female. So, when I learned that Rayman Legends would include not just one but ten playable female characters, I was excited to check it out. This seemingly female teensy is characterized by pink dress and over-exaggerated eyelashes, neither of which I can really relate to. Later, in the game, you unlock a teensy that seems female, but she appears to be the lone playable female character in Rayman Origins.
I was, however, disappointed with one aspect of the game: Rayman Origins initially includes zero playable female characters. Rayman Origins’ whimsical gameplay and accompanying music were the perfect quick diversion when I needed a study break. Last summer, I discovered Rayman Origins for the first time and fell totally in love with the game.
