The Legend of Tianding

Set in early 20th-century Taipei, this side-scrolling action adventure casts you as Liao Tianding, a folk-hero vigilante fighting for justice under Japanese colonial rule. Its story is a fictionalized take on a historical figure and is presented with comic-book-style scenes. Fight with martial arts and a short blade, string together aerial attacks, and use Tianding’s red sash to disarm enemies and steal their weapons. The sash also hooks onto points in the environment, letting you swing across gaps and move through fights. Travel through city streets and other settings, battle distinctive bosses, and search levels for collectibles and side quests. Equip talismans for bonuses, and complete optional tasks that can affect which ending you reach; additional modes include Boss Rush and a traditional Taiwanese board game.

As Taipei folk hero Liao Tianding, fight colonial forces in a comic-styled side-scroller, stealing weapons and swinging by sash.
