The Legend of Tianding is a stylish 2D action platformer for Windows inspired by the folklore of Liao Tianding, a real-life Taiwanese folk hero. Set in early 20th-century Taipei under Japanese occupation, the game follows Tianding as he steals from the rich, fights oppressive forces, and protects the poor. The story blends history with legend, delivering a narrative full of rebellion, humor, and heroic flair.
Gameplay focuses on fast, fluid combat and acrobatic movement. Players slash enemies with swords, counter attacks, and use grappling hooks to swing across environments or disarm foes. Comic-book style panels are used to present the story, giving the game a unique visual identity. Enemies range from street thugs to heavily armed officers, each requiring smart timing and positioning.
The hand-drawn art style, combined with traditional Taiwanese music influences, creates a strong sense of place and culture. With challenging boss fights and skill-based progression, The Legend of Tianding offers both exciting action and meaningful storytelling, making it an excellent choice for players who enjoy action platformers with historical depth and artistic presentation.
