This game is pretty challenging and very cheap, difficulty wise that is. :)

Shotgun legend is very faithfully inspired by the original Legend of Zelda - if you remember enjoying that game, you will enjoy this one too. Top down exploration where you collect pieces of a treasure from dungeons around the world, gaining more abilities as you go. There's even a multiplayer mode, which is cool. That said, there are some flaws in the game, and lack of ability to re-map keys is a big one. I didn't like A and Z as my main keys, and I couldn't get a controller working except as 2nd player, which is weird. Still, small issues are small. this game is very enjoyable and worth your money.

For $1 I think this game offers a good value. If you like the open-ended nature of the original Legend of Zelda, and don't mind the... frankly bad / jank combat, then this game may be for you. Bonus points if you like shotguns (I like shotguns). It's irreverent, campy and goofy. Story doesn't matter. It's not much to look at, and the action is honestly not great, with combat bordering on annoying thanks to outdated control limitations. But for a buck, it's a trip down memory lane in the world of retro-style action adventure games. Turn off brain, play cheesy game for one dollar.

TL;DR: Shotgun blast from the past. Shotgun Legend is a very obvious nod to the old Zelda classic, with a lot of mechanics expanded upon. 8-bit aesthetics, including both visual style and sound, dip you into that good ol' 90s vibe—great medicine for the ones reminiscing of the titles of old. Gameplay is as Zeldaesque as it gets: you explore a familiar yet foreign land, fight spiders, skeletons and other god-knows-whats, solve puzzles and shoot your shotgun, of course. Game doesn't take itself too seriously, which is a huge relief, as it frequently is the reason why indie titles fail. Game occasinoally throws a joke or two your way, to keep you entertained. One of the less mentioned positive aspects of the game is the shotgun shooting mechanic. It's pretty great, as it forces you to come close to enemies to maximize damage, taking that extra risk of getting damaged yourself. One of the few things that might be considered negative about the game is the music. There's not a lot of tracks, and you get tired of them pretty fast, even for such short title. Entire game takes around 6-7h to beat, but I had to turn off music after 2h of playing. Should I buy this game? Definitely, if you're feeling nostalgic about the old Zelda, but don't want to play the same game for 10th time.
