THE LEGEND OF TIANDING PC

It’s a story that’s getting a good treatment in the preview build we played, and the demo ended on a rather intriguing note. The Legend of Tianding is set to be released in October for PC and Nintendo Switch. The Legend of Tianding is shaping up to be a fun side scrolling beat ‘em up, but just as important, it’s bringing a folk tale to more people of other cultures. It took a lot of attempts to get past this bit, and with every death Tianding loses some of the money he has collected. The issue is that the window to grapple in this scenario feels way too short with the arrow indicators only appearing briefly before Tianding is out of range.

Sounds easy enough, but when there are two deadly polluted falls and a deadly pool of polluted water beneath you, there is a lot of things that can go wrong. One section toward the end of the preview build needs Tianding to grapple upwards using wheels as grapple points. For the most part, getting around is fine, though the grapple needs a little bit of work. Outside of the fighting, you need to navigate the levels using jumps, moves, and a grapple. The story is hot-blooded but delivered in a light-hearted way. You use your fast-paced and versatile Taiwan Kung Fu to rob the rich assholes and give to the poor. In the game, you assume the role of the legendary hero Liao Tianding who punishes the profiteers and stands against tyranny. The hardcore difficulty adds additional traps in the environment and makes enemies more dangerous, while casual will let you have an easier ride if you just want to experience the story. The Legend of Tianding is a 2D side-scrolling action game. There were two difficulty modes to try out, with both casual and hardcore options. A bullet may hit you if you’re not paying attention, but you can also deflect them back towards enemies if you time it right. The fighting feels smooth and fast paced though you have to be aware of your surroundings at all times as enemies spawn in. Additionally, Tianding learns new moves such as the one inch punch and dragon kick, both of which do a good amount of damage and can push back enemies to give some breathing space. Tianding can dodge through attacks and this move becomes crucial as enemies rush him. These weapons can vary from bamboo poles to axes to guns, and if you get a weapon you do not like then you can discard it.

The most basic attack sees Tianding hitting enemies with his blade and using a sash to disarm enemies so he can take their weapons. The combat system allows for quite a few tactical options. The sewers are far from quiet though, as both police and criminals look to take out Tianding, engaging in fights to subdue him. Much of the preview build actually takes you away from the streets and down into the sewers instead as Tianding looks for a way to enter Wang’s Tea House. Explore the dazzling streets of Colonial Japanese Taiwan in the early 20th century.
