The Guardian Legend Review by: Oldschool777 - 9/10

The Guardian Legend
Overall=9

This game is near perfect. It is challenging without being sadistic. If you are having trouble with a corridor,power up and try again. You are The Guardian Legend,tasked with destroying NAJU,a space station that was your home,but is now infested with monsters. You will fight everything from spider like beings,eggs,hockey puck like beings,ice cube like beings,and when you travel further into NAJU,sub bosses that appear as normal enemies. How many games do you know on the NES that pack an overworld exploration game with a shooter? You gain hearts at specific point totals and through Blue Landers. Red Landers increase your chip stock or special weapon ammo. Chips are also used as money. But be careful,your chip stock determines how powerful your standard shot is.

Graphics=10

This game is one of the best looking on the NES,the main character is large and looks nice,the enemies for the most part are pretty good,and the backgrounds are awesome. The overworld is probably the weaker of the two,but both are great and this is a classic and when I first played it as a boy,it looked almost 16 bit,that is how good it looked. The Bosses look great and have a ton of ordinance to dodge or destroy.

Sound=10

The music does not disappoint at all. The music is good for pumping you up and readying you for a battle. The boss music is good and you feel yourself tensing up to fight them. The sound effects are great and are not annoying at all. You would want to keep fighting through NAJU because you wanted to hear the tracks.

Addictiveness=9

The game is fun on all levels whether you are trekking through the overworld,flying in the corridors,or just taking a breather at the Lander shops. You want to explore to find new weapons,power up existing weapons,find Red and Blue Landers,attack and defense boosts and so on. It is fun to do Corridor 21,the boss rush area,but we all wanted to beat the final boss. You also have a sort of "second quest" by punching in TGL at the password screen. It is a flying-only area and you have to do well to earn items and weapons.

Story=7

The story is basic,you are the lone survivor/warrior of the star NAJU. You want to blow it up to kill off all the evil critters that plague it. You meet many strange and powerful enemies and the bosses do not hold back. You explore rooms and it gives you hints on how to access certain corridors. The exploration is done well and the map works well. The are no real surprises or story twists but you really did not need them.

Depth=8

You have to constantly decide what sub-weapon to take into battle with you,(you can only use 1 at a time),figure out attack patterns,and look for weaknesses in enemies. You are always improving your arsenal and abilities and you want to explore every area for anything you may have missed from weapon upgrades,sub weapons,bosses,Landers and abilities. (Hint: A powered up fireball and back wave[not sure on the actual name] and enemy erasers are godsends.)

Difficulty=8

The bosses are challenging,the exploration demands you pay attention to where you are (look on the bottom of the screen,it does display your current location) and it just feels right. The controls are near perfect,except if you diagonally walk into a wall,but that is a minor nitpick. If you die,it was not the control's fault. The later levels bombard you with all kinds of projectiles and you have to either destroy or dodge them. (A level 3 fireball is an immense help to burn through the levels and enemies,no pun intended.) The enemy erasers appear just enough to defeat minor enemies that are crowding you. The game is winnable and if you have the drive and courage,this game will not disappoint.

The Guardian Legend Game Description

In the far future, Earth is a peaceful place with very few worries. To ensure it stays that way, a top secret project was authorized: the creation of the guardian suit. It's a suit of flight armor that allows the guardian to survive any environment. It's a good thing too, because a giant space station is spotted on a collision course with Earth.You take the role of the guardian. Your mission is to activate the station's self-destruct and destroy it before it collides with Earth. As you travel through the station NAJU, you'll find increased armor and better weapons to help you defeat waves of enemies. You'll battle through the station in a human form and also as a jet in certain areas.

 just played again and must say still a nes classic keep coming back to it. lol like seriously.
Oldschool777 02-18-17 - 10:08 PM
 Just beat this game with the TGL code. That was a f--king nightmare. Thank God for save states.
Jordanv78 07-02-16 - 11:05 AM
 I'm always happy when this game is one of the "featured" games in the RGR. It's really a great game that gets overlooked by casuals or people just getting into NES games. Really a cool game that tried to do a lot of unique things for it's time.
Oldschool777 08-27-15 - 10:22 PM
 This is a great and quite frankly criminally overlooked game.
asdren 05-13-15 - 08:14 AM
 this is a great game
Hunter33 10-23-12 - 09:47 PM

 This was my brothers favorite game. My second bro was the only one to complete this game. I kept dying though lol maybe my luck will change since I'm older now.
death_nation 01-15-12 - 12:31 AM

remlerelyk 09-19-11 - 10:05 PM

Arliman 03-28-11 - 04:45 PM
 if you want to skip the ground sequences and just do the flying areas, put your password as TGL just those 3 letters
shroyer25 03-17-11 - 05:03 PM
 It's even more of a pain in the ass when you have to use a keyboard!
the3rdmuskateer 03-06-11 - 06:14 PM
 i was short when i last played this game. i cant believe i was able to beat it so easily... everytime too... now i have a super difficult time... such a good game.
tonycassidy 12-05-10 - 05:19 PM
 The last time I played this game....I was stuck on level 7....boss was badass...
mendokusai4u 03-08-10 - 12:27 AM
 Definately agree, Can be difficult later on in the game, easy to adapt to this game, very fun and challenging.
Davideo7 05-26-09 - 03:36 PM
 It's also funny how I recognized the music and sound effects instantly, even though I haven't played the game in 15 years - same applies to the gameplay itself
Davideo7 05-26-09 - 02:36 PM
 I haven't played this game in almost 15 years, man does this bring back memories or what - great game.
