Game #1323: The Legend of Tian Ding

  Every culture has their own Robin Hood.

 My quest to play Chinese-developed games continues with The Legend of Tian Ding, a game based around a Taiwanese Robin Hood-esque type character.

 Being based around a thief you'd expect the game to be a stealth game, but thankfully it ain't. It's a 2.5-D sidescrolling platforming beat'em up type of game. Divided into various chapters, Tian Ding must sneak into different areas, beat policemen and thugs while avoiding traps. You can jump and propel yourself from hooks and what not, but when it comes to fighting you can even steal weapons from your enemies.

 It's fast and fun, even if a bit too simplistic for my taste. I quite enjoyed the game all things considered, I needn't think too much, just try to stylishly beat enemies while using Tian's special abilities... or their own weapons.
