This side-scrolling action game is built around Liao Tianding, a Taiwanese folk hero remembered as an outlaw who stole from the wealthy and helped the poor. It is set in Taipei during the early twentieth century, when Taiwan was under Japanese rule, and the bustling streets and markets are drawn in a bold style inspired by comic books and traditional art.
In The Legend of Tianding, combat is fast and combo-driven, with a sash that lets Tianding grab enemy weapons and turn them against their owners, plus light role-playing upgrades. It is a single-player game with a steady difficulty curve and a story told in comic-style panels. The Legend of Tianding suits fans of stylish brawlers and historical settings.
