Shotgun Legend

very fun game, but it deleted my save before i could finish it :(

great game if you like shotguns.

Yep

This is a damn near perfect budget game. Took me around 10 hours to 100% probably less, since I tend to AFK a lot while "working." If you like The Legend of Zelda on the NES, you’re going to feel right at home here. In fact, Shotgun Legend feels like what would happen if Link stopped messing around with swords and just decided to bring a shotgun to Hyrule. Let’s be real, Ganon wouldn’t have lasted five minutes.

The game somehow feels more polished in some ways than Zelda 1 did, refining its best elements and making exploration and combat feel more rewarding. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel or the shotgun but it delivers a highly enjoyable experience. The difficulty is challenging but never unfair, striking that "It’s dangerous to go alone, but not too dangerous" sweet spot.

There are 10 dungeons in total, and they feel more well-rounded and thoughtfully designed than some of Zelda’s more cryptic layouts. Shotgun Legend won’t change your life, but for a budget game, it’s an absolute steal. Or should I say, it's a legendary deal?

great game, I especially enjoyed the penises that pop out of the ground and shoot rocks at you

Captures the essence of what made TLoZ such a classic. You will get somewhat frustrated and lost throughout the journey but that's all part of the process. Difficulties ease this burden for those who get rapidly overwhelmed over time to death. For as goofy as the concept is, there is a decent amount of depth to the gameplay and encounters are surprisingly refined and entice you to seek the finish line. There's even a few secrets a la 8-bit RPGs thrown in to boot. Skip that candy bar or whatever and go for a fistful of adventurous lead instead. You can do way worse for $1.

life changing game completly worth the 99 cents (nah for real just try it)

I originally made a deep dive into how this game was almost perfect but I lost it sadly, so I'll shorten it:
This game is a fucking gem, I love all the gameplay elements and the way that you designed the game. Keep up the good work man. (also please release a OST, 🙏 I'll pay real money! The sound track Is a banger.)

legend of zelda but you have a shotgun. combat and exploration are surprisingly fun and engaging! highly recommended.

Really bizarre LOZ-style game with hidden areas and plenty of powerups. I had a blast playing it.

Excelent little Zelda tribute

COOL

Fantastic

Basically a NES Zelda Clone with a shotgun.

6/10

This is the type of game that Richard Garriot *actually* intended to create instead of Ultima.

Missed the first dungeon and ended up getting the second shotgun before the crossbow. 10/10.

This game is pretty challenging and very cheap, difficulty wise that is. :)

so hard xd but the game is fun

yeah

Shotgun legend is very faithfully inspired by the original Legend of Zelda - if you remember enjoying that game, you will enjoy this one too. Top down exploration where you collect pieces of a treasure from dungeons around the world, gaining more abilities as you go. There's even a multiplayer mode, which is cool.

That said, there are some flaws in the game, and lack of ability to re-map keys is a big one. I didn't like A and Z as my main keys, and I couldn't get a controller working except as 2nd player, which is weird.

Still, small issues are small. this game is very enjoyable and worth your money.

This game is great. Zelda with a little Isaac feel.

For $1 I think this game offers a good value.
If you like the open-ended nature of the original Legend of Zelda, and don't mind the... frankly bad / jank combat, then this game may be for you. Bonus points if you like shotguns (I like shotguns).
It's irreverent, campy and goofy. Story doesn't matter. It's not much to look at, and the action is honestly not great, with combat bordering on annoying thanks to outdated control limitations. But for a buck, it's a trip down memory lane in the world of retro-style action adventure games. Turn off brain, play cheesy game for one dollar.

Not really a fan of this game, but I couldn't stop playing this game for like 6 hours. Something about it is very addicting.
