I picked up Shotgun Legend for a mere €0.40 after obtaining a coupon for it. I didn't have high expectations of it but the reviews were positive so I had a go at it. Apparently, this is supposed to be Zelda with a shotgun. I have no idea what that means because I've never played a Zelda game before. I can only assume that there aren't any shotguns in Zelda.

The gameplay is pretty straightforward. You use the arrow keys to guide your character, Eugene, through forests and dungeons. Killing enemies gets you coins, which you can use in shops to buy ammunition or health. Even though the game's called Shotgun Legend you can collect a few other weapons as well such as dynamite and, uhm... a banjo. So I guess Hillbilly Zelda could be an appropriate name as well. The game is presented in a top-down perspective with pixelated graphics. This gives the game a great retro 80's atmosphere.

Every dungeon has a boss you must defeat. I didn't find them too difficult to fight, except for the final boss, which took me quite a while to get rid of. I can easily say this was the most fun I'd had in a while playing a game. I even feel bad I had used a coupon to buy this game. I would gladly have paid €5 for it. I believe the regular price right now is about €0,80 so there's no excuse not to buy this gem.

Highly recommended! Looking forward to play more games like these from this developer.
