    Repetitive, technically cheap. Awful story and english dubbing, ridiculously high priced for what it offers. stay away from this game and maybe Oasis Games'll stop making disturbing software.

    Action stiff. Poor hit. The story is old-fashioned. Music is not appealing. Character modeling is very rough. There is no bright spot in the game system. The voice actor is amateur. Is an unintentional game. Is a shoddy game. In short is a very bad game.

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.    … Expand

    Pros: Great art style, decent combat pace, decently designed menus and UI

    Cons: Graphics can look average at best, damage sponge enemies, forgettable soundtrack, mediocre story, one-dimensional characters, clunky platforming, combat issues like the Ai and hit detection, weapons you'll get later on makes the early weapons rather redundant, later bosses are very tedious, no replay-value    Pros: Great art style, decent combat pace, decently designed menus and UI

    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.

    Hidden Dragon Legend’s cover art should appear in any search engine’s results for mixed bag. The combat it offers is challenging and genuinely fun, but the traversal that comes between it is far too often broken and unfair. As you run through Imperial China, you’ll be enchanted by the mood, only to be brought right back out by stiff cutscenes and terribly compressed weapon sounds. Upon reflection, I truly believe that MegaFun Games put real passion into this project, though; even the elements that don't work are laid out in a way where they'd be very enjoyable if they did. It's just a shame that the finished project is so deeply flawed.

    At 20 dollars, it is a tough ask as a purchase since this developer with no discernible track record in the west. Those who take the leap will find a rather solid title with high replayability and a visual style seldom seen on our shores. One can only hope that the publisher can put some more marketing dollars towards this title so that it can find some sort of audience.
