The Legend of Tianding

The story is pretty compelling and full of betrayal, funny sidekicks, chases and suspense, etc.

The combat system is responsive & flows very well, with a weapon-stealing mechanic that allows you to steal the weapon of virtually every normal enemy unit (tho the weapons are of limited use.) As you progress through the stage, you also learn special kung fu moves that complement your arsenal of skills.

My only complaints: 1) for whatever reason a few (like 3-5) of the dialogue bubbles were in french instead of English. 2) the end game side missions had really neat mechanics where you had multiple ways of finishing them and they affected other side quests.

What I loved most about this game is the amazing art style, the setting, the atmosphere, and the music.

Playing on the hard difficulty, I died maybe dozens of times to each boss before being able to beat them, yet the experience was challenging but fun.

The soundtrack of "The Legend of Tianding" is a delightful blend of traditional Chinese instruments and modern electronic music.
