The Legend of Tianding

A fun little game with a nice art design but it's repetitive and not fluent enough to roll with it.

This is a game with such a cool foundation that I wish it pushed harder. It has a solid move pool at the start, but the game never evolves this and enemies/encounters functionally never change from beginning to end. Level design instead tends to rely on wonky stage hazards and platforming which really do not play to the game's strength, not to mention the absolutely dull side content and padding in its structure. But I thought the boss fights and general feel were solid enough to have value.
