The Legend of Tianding, an intense side-scrolling adventure set in ancient Taipei, is now available on iOS

Neon Doctrine has finally launched its award-winning side-scroller, The Legend of Tianding on the App Store. Players take on the role of the legendary Taiwanese vigilante, Liao Tianding, as they battle for justice on the streets.

In Legend of Tianding, players will embark on a hyper-intense adventure as a folk legend who wreaked havoc in the streets of Taipei. The game is inspired by real events, people, and situations based on the Taiwanese city during the 20th century. Expect to be a sort of Robin Hood who steals from the rich to feed the poor, while avoiding Colonial Japanese authorities at the same time.

Gameplay will be fast-paced, using unique weapons from that time. Players will slash through authorities using their trusty tanto, waist sash, and their kung-fu skills. The combat system will majorly be technical, but there’s still room for doing cool stuff like executing aerial combos, stealing weapons from foes, and traversing the battlefield using grappling hooks.

The chaotic streets are full of low-level enemies and their extremely powerful bosses. Liao will take to take on lethal courtesans, greedy businessmen, and military chiefs who will all pose a unique challenge with their brutal attacks. For some added support, players can equip Talismans and play the traditional game of four cards as well.

The game does fairly well to depict the Dadaocheng area of Taipei City using the traditional Chinese manga art style. Akin to the 1900s era, the streets will be colourful with dark sewers underneath them, while speeding trains rapidly move around.
