The Legend of Kage

Game Details:

"The Legend of Kage" was first released in arcades in 1985, and was later ported to various consoles such as the FC. Players take on the role of the ninja "Kage", using superb jumping skills and shurikens to fight. The game is set in the Warring States period, with scenes of bamboo forests, castles, rivers and other diverse settings. Enemies appear from all directions, requiring players to react quickly and operate flexibly to survive. The goal of each level is to defeat the guards, rescue the imprisoned princess "Princess Snow", and evacuate safely, after which the game loops but the difficulty increases.

Editor's Recommendation:

If you like nostalgic action games, then "The Legend of Kage" is undoubtedly a classic that you cannot miss. Although the graphics are simple, the game has a fast pace and is full of operability, especially the character's exaggerated "super jump", which was impressive at the time. It not only tests your reaction speed, but also has the charm of the ninja fighting style. It is a very representative work in FC games and is still talked about by many players.

Game Guide:

• Reasonable jumping: Kage's jump height is very high, using air time to avoid attacks is the key to survival. Press and hold the jump button to adjust the flight arc.
• Use darts flexibly: Keep your distance and use shurikens when facing ranged enemies; use close combat knife attacks when approaching enemies.
• Pay attention to enemy spawning locations: Enemies will suddenly appear on either side of the screen or on the treetops, keep moving to avoid sneak attacks.
• Upgrade abilities: Defeating certain enemies will drop red balls (enhance attack) and blue balls (enhance speed), it is recommended to prioritize obtaining them to improve combat effectiveness.
• Boss battle skills: Stay calm when facing strong enemies, use jumping to dodge attacks, and counterattack in the air to deal efficient damage.
