I was told there will also be environmental puzzles to decipher later on in the game. There are up to four vertical levels in each area, allowing for explorable maps and hidden chests. The game takes place in ancient China, so the architecture is pretty cool, and Hidden Dragon Legend capitalizes on using it to make a fun game world to jump around and explore. The platforming in Hidden Dragon Legend is interesting and feels different from a lot of sidescrollers these days. You can also heal with triangle, which I kept forgetting to do, which is why I am also not good at games in the Souls-Borne genre. They seem useful for taking out multiple enemies at once. While I wasn’t able to pull any of these off, they were shown in a trailer and they look pretty cool. There were also some super moves that you can charge up and use by pressing either the triangle, square, circle, or cross buttons combined with R2. The boss was much larger than the other enemies, had a larger move set and seemed harder to evade and get behind. The enemies were of three different types - there was a basic swordsman, a swordsman with a shield that could block anything coming at him from the front and some winged robots that are dealt with using the grappling hook. The demo I got to play was essentially four or five waves of enemies with platforming in between and then a boss battle. This combined with the decent feeling platforming makes for a nice gameplay loop, but one that could get repetitive depending on the final length of the game. In this way it feels fast, because you’re constantly moving past enemies trying to get behind them and start swinging. You can only evade enemy attacks by dodging at the right times. There’s no blocking to be done in Hidden Dragon Legend. It’s a game all about platforming between levels of buildings, finding hidden areas, and evading bad guys before you strike and it’s pretty fun.
Hidden Dragon Legend is a 2.5D sidescrolling action platformer where you play as a ninja equipped with a sword, throwing stars, a grappling hook, and the speed that only years of training can accomplish.
