Really fun game. The combat in levels become a bit repetitive at the very end, but still fun and the boss battles make up for it as they are really creative.

Got it on a sale, The Legend of Tianding is a short and fun game with a story narrative on Taiwan history during the Japanese occupation period. Its a Metroidvania game that is similar to Hollow Knight, but a lot easier. It doable to perfect this game in one single play through; -Play on outlaw mode, its more challenging though, and you have to redo the boss many times to learn their moves -Give money to beggars until they don't need it anymore -Upgrade the weapon from blacksmith and bun from chef until max -Search youtube video on where all the treasure box is located across the 4 map -Use triple jump to go on top of all buildings for hidden collectibles -On the train map, there is a bird which you need to rope off to the second bird for hidden collectibles -Use rope on all enemy types until you get their corresponding talisman, they will have a blinking light on them until you found the talisman -Use rope on all boss until they drop the items -There will be 2 instance (Li-Hong asking the farmers where the money comes from, and A-Guai to be sold away), and you will given the option to beat or trick, select beat and then reenter the location to choose trick on the second time -Defeat the final boss after all collectibles and talisman

RECOMMEND. Especially on SALE. The Legend of Tianding is a neat 2d action platformer that combines with beat-them-up. 3d model is a bit ugly on close but suits game need. 2d art is decent. It's combination of Japanese Manga and Hong Kong Comics style. This also fits culture (Taiwan regime was changing rapidly) Platforming is more leaning to action than puzzle. It can be hard if you want to collect all treasures but mostly part is simple. Combat is fun, you can use you knife, special arts, or weapons from foes like police baton, blade, guns and even RPG. Boss fights are unique and challenging. No cheap moves. Story is simple but well presented. In short, this game is good enough you want it goes on longer, but it ends right before sweet spot. Something should be improve (like, too many collectibles from beggars) But this is indeed fun game to get.
