    Hidden Dragon Legend is the classic example of a game trying to be bigger than it’s potential budget or development. There is a great idea here marred by too many issues for me to really recommend this to anyone except the hardcore action or indie supporters. There is fun to be had, but it comes with serious caveats.

    Hidden Dragon isn’t terrible, but it’s sorely stuck not one, but two generations in the past. The sidescroller is by no means dead, yet those working in this shrinking subgenre are either emulating its most celebrated champions or pushing the boundaries with something new and inventive. Hidden Dragon does neither, nor does it have the visual oomph that can often help overlook a game’s shortcomings.

    Hidden Dragon Legend has some good visual design but not much else, and it’s a shame. I appreciated the style, but the actual game is so shoddily produced that it’s impossible to enjoy. I don’t care that enemies look good if fighting them is sluggish and repetitive. With tighter controls and fluid combat, Hidden Dragon Legend could have been a minor gem, but it’s just an attractive failure.

I expected this game to be fantastic since the trailer showed a lot of promise. Sadly, it wasn't. While the graphics are not terrible, the stiff animations makes platforming frustrating, the plot is incredibly thin (despite the trailer showing the game like as if it was going to be an epic action game), it has many unnecesary difficulty spikes, the voice acting is terrible, and there isn't a lot to do after completing the game other than playing the higher difficulties. I also found some of the bosses a bit annoying (mostly the final form of the final boss and the second boss), while others like the 3rd boss were pretty easy (which by the way, it's the only boss where you have to avoid that one special attack of the boss with the grappling hook). While it isn't as bad as Oasis Games' previous titles, it is still disappointing because if it wasn't for its cumbersome issues, it could have been a classic. Instead, is a mediocre chinese platformer that only a minority will like (mostly the chinese gamers because of thr whole console ban) and soon, it will fall into obscurity. Is not terrible since the combat can be fun and some of the puzzles, while not challenging, are pretty good. However, if you're expecting a polished platformer, prepare to be disappointed. Honestly, I wouls just recommend Icey, which is another chinese side scolling action game that's actually polished and is also available on the PS4. For Hidden Dragon Legend? Is better off that you wait until it gets a price cut.

    Also, this just shows that you shouldn't set your expectations high when it comes to chinese games published by Oasis Games. I just hope their next game, Light Tracer, will actually be their savior. If not, then, oh well.

    Edit: Huh, so Light Tracer was decent.    … Full Review »

In short is a very bad game.… Full Review »
