OK, THIS ONE NEEDS CONTEXT

PLACEHOLDER LINE BECAUSE TUMBLR IS BUGGING OUT AND GLITCHING EVERY PARAGRAPH ONE BY ONE

Basically around 10-ish years ago I randomly got my hands on a game for the DS I‘ve never heard of before but looked kinda interesting called Legend of Kage 2. I found it to be a pretty fun, albeit a bit repetitive arcade side-scrolling hack n slash type game, y’know the ones where you walk from left to right beating enemies up with some occasional platforming (and die a lot), it was one of those. (Only with extra jumping. Like, really high jumping. Jumping around is super fun in that game because it levels up to become ridiculously high).

Anyways, I really enjoyed that game. Beat it on all three difficulties with both playable characters (Kage and Chihiro (who‘s also more fun to play and has better dialogue lol)) and unlocked most of the character concept art, but not all, so I googled how to unlock the rest. Turns out this game is, as the 2 suggests, a remake/sequel to a slightly more popular game called Legend of Kage.

Only that one is an arcade/NES game.

Needless to say, it’s sequel is not very well known. In fact, pretty much the only thing you‘ll find online are a very short Wikipedia entry, a bunch of articles from when it was newly released, around 2008, and like three walkthroughs from the same time. Which is, frankly, a bit of a shame, because this game has quite the fanart potential for a 2D arcade style game imo

So if there is no fandom- be the fandom! I’ve written that often enough under other peoples‘ stuff so why not try doing it yourself lol.

TLDR: I tried drawing fanart of a 15 year old DS game no one’s ever heard about because I couldn’t get the epic fight scenes the gameplay alludes to out of my head for a decade.
