About
This is an RPG made to challenge your mind and push you completely out of your comfort zone. Here, everything is a test. Logic, strategy, patience, decision-making, and much more. If you're a fan of tough challenges, you're in the right place. But if you're looking for something casual… this probably isn't for you. There’s no "easy mode" here. Just determination and a whole lot of "Game Over".
Thinking Monsters: Enemies have AI levels from 1 to 5. Smarter enemies will actually think — hitting your weakest ally, using deadly combos, and bosses with insane tactics. Some fights may feel like chess matches that take hours to win.
Bestiary: Here you can catalog all the monsters in the game. Each one has unlock levels: Lv1, Lv2, Lv3, and Lv4. You’ll need to complete side quests to raise their level. The higher the level, the more info you'll unlock. Reaching Lv4 gives you a special reward!
No Potions or Revives in Shops: You won’t find healing items in stores. The only way to get them is by exploring and finding them on the maps. Use them wisely!
Save System: To save your progress, you’ll need to find a crystal. The first time you touch one, it saves your game and fully heals your party. But be careful it only heals once!
Hidden Crystals: There are 19 crystals hidden throughout the game. You can trade them for bonuses like max HP upgrades, money, and even a super rare item: the Save Menu. Find all 19, and something REALLY cool will happen.
Save Menu: This item lets you save anytime, anywhere. Use it carefully — it’s extremely rare. In tough puzzles or far from the last crystal, this could save your life. Save it for big moments!
Don't Try to Beat It All at Once: Trying to finish the game in one go can be exhausting. I recommend playing one chapter at a time, enjoying the puzzles and challenges without burning out.
The Legend of Shiande tells the story of a humble blacksmith from a quiet village surrounded by deep forests. One day, strange things begin to happen — people and animals start turning into vicious monsters, destroying everything in sight.
In the face of this threat, an ancient and powerful wizard chooses Shiande for an impossible mission: to save the world from an unstoppable curse. With only his courage, a hammer, and a strong will to protect what remains, Shiande sets off on a journey that may one day be told as a legend.
The Legend of Shiande! (That is… if you can finish it.)

Nunca fui de jogar RPG de turno, mas confesso que o jogo me surpreendeu em diversos aspectos. Eu já tinha visto algumas gameplays de "The Legend of Shiande" e entendia a proposta geral, mas a experiência em si ainda era uma incógnita até o momento em que comecei a jogar. Logo no início, o jogo me apresenta controles simples e intuitivos, e eu já achava que estava pegando o jeito… até passar mais de 30 minutos travado na corrida do capítulo 1. E não demorou muito pra perceber que isso era só o começo — a cada capítulo, a experiência se repete de forma diferente: um puzzle novo, uma corrida nova e, eventualmente, uma boss fight para colocar à prova se você realmente sabe administrar as habilidades e recursos do seu grupo. E assim, você precisa fazer as engrenagens do cérebro girarem o tempo todo. Você morre, volta checkpoint, tenta de novo… e de novo… e de novo — até chegar naquele momento em que diz na frente do monitor: “Eu não aguento mais esse mesmo bicho de novo na minha frente”. Se você está em busca de uma experiência desafiadora e recompensadora, essa é uma recomendação fácil.
The Legend of Shiande não quer agradar todo mundo — e esse é exatamente o ponto. O jogo aposta num RPG de turnos extremamente punitivo, onde cada erro custa caro e cada vitória parece um chefe final. Não existe mãozinha, tutorial excessivo ou perdão. A dificuldade absurda não é descuido: é design intencional, focado em estratégia, leitura de cenário e paciência. Quem entra achando que é só mais um RPG indie vai desistir rápido. Quem insiste, sente aquela satisfação rara de dominar um sistema cruel. É um jogo brasileiro que abraça o “sofrer pra vencer” sem medo — e faz isso com personalidade. 🎯 Não é para todos. Mas para quem gosta de desafio de verdade, é memorável.

Analise: Jogo muito bom mas achei um pouco dificil, mesmo sendo pro player em alguns outros jogos, recomendo se estiverem em busca de desafios que façam voces terem que pensar um pouco e quando conseguirem vao sentir que estao farmando muita aura nota 10
I rage quit this game. if you like kick you in the balls with steel toe capped boots this is for you, BUT if you want a normal RPG steer clear
I died 72 times in 25 minutes. I became so frustrated that I swore a blue streak and spammed insults. Clearly, the designers are fans of old school Nintendo and arcade games. This game is pattern recognition and timing. Despite the frustration, I have to applaud this You have to know exactly what to do, how and when you are going to fail allot, while learning
Cara, muito semelhante aos antigos jogos de RPG, não tem muitas indicações de direção, pros períodos atuais onde temos pouco tempo para jogar, é complicado ficar 1 hora no mesmo capitulo, passa a sensação de que joguei e não consegui concluir nem se quer uma parte.
I have to take my hat off, beating the levels gave me a thrill I hadn't felt in a long time.. I really enjoyed the challenges. The game is really frustrating, but pushing through and winning makes it even sweeter.
Esse jogo é a experiência que eu estava procurando! A gameplay é simples e é extremamente complexo nos desafios, puzzles e nas lutas SUUUPER Daora pra quem quer algo mais difícil que a média e quer se divertir! Recomendo d+
Only God and those who were with me know how much I struggled trying to complete level 1, LEVEL 1 T-T. Literally my mom yelling "SH***T UP ALREADY" (sorry mom), Rodrigo, I just have to tell you that your face is funny Challenging, this game literally says "military mindset" or "good gaming skills," neither of which I possess. Pokémon has never been this difficult. I feel it's worth trying, mistakes aren't allowed, but when the game rewards you, it's a bit... (literally, it called me dunkey) And it's not that expensive either; I feel like it's worth every penny. a very cute game (maybe)
