Legend of Shadow (2004)

by Darthlupi

This award-winning game has shown through our validation process that either you love this game, or you hate it. Validation scores went from 6 to 1. So try this on your risk!

The game is extremely fast-paced, and should not be tried if you are not ready to be clinging to your keyboard sweating like a pig to get through levels, and fight end bosses.

This game is inspired by the Taito classic Legend of Kage. It was made for the Retro Remakes 2004 Competition.

We stole this description from the site (apparantly I am not that effective with describing games at the moment.):

Your girlfriend has been captured by an evil ninja horde, and there is no telling what they have planned for her!

Luckily for her, you are a ninja master yourself, and you don't like it when people steal your special lady friend!

Features:
- Nonstop ninja action!
- Mod music
- Particle Effects
- Awesome super karate physics
- Unrealistic amounts of blood
- Authentic Ninja stars!
- Difficult AND challenging bosses

  Well, majority of votes were for it to be accepted, and I absolutely love it. Of course, I can make it to the final boss; I can see how it might not be fun if you can't make it out of the first area...

  Well, I was the one who voted 1. Still can't understand why anyone might like this game. But fortunately tastes are different (would be very boring otherwise)...

  I was hung up for a while and was tingling all over when I shut it down... If your heart-rate is a bit sluggish, then this is a game to fix that.
  This is the game that divided the Game hunters the most. Votes were all over the place. We had a 1 vote and a 6 vote. So this is a gmae where you either love it or you hate it.
  And well some are of course in between, while others see the worrying thoughts that come when people announce that they are indeed in love with a videogame...

  The funny thing about this insane platformer is that I didn't even find it all that hard - at least not until I reached the final boss. You need reflexes and tactics, but once you get that down, you're in for a frantic treat. I advise you to reconfigure the keys though, since you'll need to be fast.

  Tried it yesterday, and that could be it
  
  It is sincerely harder than the original - even though that wasn't easy....

  If this is this insanely hard game I played some months ago be prepared for some serious validating... Or maybe I mistake it with some other Legend or other Shadow...

  Well thanks to eMTe's two game-submissions from Darthlupis site, I bumbed into this one. A gem I used to play in its original form and forgot all about. This lies many years back...
  
  I thought I would submit the remake, and try it out myself too....
