The Legend of Silkroad

About

The Legend of Silkroad is a 2D side-scrolling beat 'em-up where you take on the role of one of three warriors from Korea, China or Mongolia. Battle through 25 enemies across nine stages with four hidden ones waiting to be discovered. Play solo or team up with a friend to punch and kick your way forward. Each fighter has five basic attacks and 20 magical moves with collectible items to restore health and power up along the path. The game stands out with its mix of straightforward combat and collectible power-ups. Three distinct characters and 13 total stages offer enough variety to keep things fresh. Players can expect a nostalgic arcade feel with simple controls and progressively tougher challenges. No modern stats available but its 1999 release date places it in a wave of classic side-scrollers.
