Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is a 2023 platform video game developed by Tequila Works and published by Riot Forge.

Gameplay

[edit]

Players control Nunu, a character from League of Legends, as he searches for a magical item called the Heart of the Blue. Song of Nunu is a platformer in which players must jump over hazards, solve puzzles, and engage in snowball fights. There are some areas where stealth or combat is necessary. Nunu is accompanied by Willump, a yeti, who assists him.[1]

Development

[edit]

Riot Forge released Song of Nunu for Windows and Switch on November 1, 2023. Ports are planned for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 4 and 5.[2]

Reception

[edit]

Song of Nunu received positive reviews on Metacritic.[11] Rock Paper Shotgun said that knowledge of League of Legends is unnecessary to enjoy the game, which they thought was a "heartfelt, winsome platformer".[1] Polygon felt that giving Nunu and Willump their own adventure made them more appealing and said watching them play together was a joy.[12] Although they enjoyed the narrative and characters, PCGamesN found the gameplay bland and experienced both software bugs and performance issues. They recommended buying it on sale.[13] Shacknews said the presentation of the cinematics can be off-putting, and they felt the combat feels tacked-on. However, they said it is "a solid entry" and a game that can be recommended to all ages.[9] Nintendo Life called it "a great addition" to the League of Legends spinoffs and recommended it to fans of The Legend of Zelda.[14]
