comment
Leifeng Pagoda (é›·å³°å¡”) is a 1999 Action RPG developed by Beijing's Zhiguan Technologies, and serving as a continuation of the Chinese literary classic, Lady Whitesnake.After the events of Lady Whitesnake, Bai Suzhen, the titular lady, has to atone for the flooding of West Lake, where she's sentenced to imprisonment in Leifeng Pagoda. Prior to her sentence, Bai Suzhen gave birth to Xu-xian's son, Xu Meng-jiao, destined to free her when reaching his teenage years.Players are in control of Meng-jiao, at fifteen years of age, inexplicably re-imagined in the game as a demon-slaying badass wielding a sword who can harm monsters. In the decade-and-a-half between Bai Suzhen's sentence and Meng-jiao's birth, the seals of Leifeng Pagoda had weakened, with assorted supernatural forces released into civilain villages, and Meng-jiao - alongside a new ally, a budding apperantice sorceress named Xue-er - will take on all kinds of monsters, before infiltrating Leifeng Pagoda and traverse every floor in search of a way to release his mother.

Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Shura Kings are demons with four arms, each holding a hatchet for attacking, and are considerably more dangerous than the basic ghost-soldiers. The first one killed by Meng-jiao raises his level from 1 to 2, and then more shows up.

Beastman: Most of the higher-ranked demon mooks are humanoid but with animalistic features, with horse-headed and bull-headed lesser demons appearing frequently (based on guardians of the Chinese underworld).

Distant Finale: The final cutscene takes place sixty years later, where a white-haired, elderly Xu Meng-jiao reminiscences over his past. And then he sees his mother, Bai Suzhen, still as young as before, descending from the heavens inviting him to join her, at which point Meng-jiao's soul departs for the skies - depicted as his young self in gameplay proper - and the game ends.

Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: Meng-jiao relies on using his jian, while Xue-er, a demon huntress who took over Meng-jiao as playable character in several levels, spams bladed discs which she has an unlimited supply off, and can even hurl these in four directions.

Defeat Equals Explosion: Earth demons (those green-skinned, bald behemoths wearing iron shoulder pads) can somehow explode after being slain, and they're the only enemy in-game that does so. Naturally, their explosion radius can hurt Meng-jiao and Xue-er.

Amphibian at Large: Monk Fahai from the novel is revealed in his "true" form, a giant toad-monster large enough to take up half an entire room on the Leifeng Pagoda's top floor. Players as Siu-Ching the Green Snaken needs to kill his giant toad form in a boss fight, at which point he transforms back into a human.

Snake People: One of the many recurring enemy types, snake-people whose torso is human, but with a serpentine head and lower body who slithers around trying to stab at Meng-jiao. There's also a weird snake-man monster with a single, giant foot in place of a tail which it uses for hopping around... called "One Foot".

Adaptational Badass: In every iteration of the Lady Whitesnake mythos, both Xu-xian and his son, Xu Meing-jiao, are scholars. NOT demon-slaying badasses. Especially ones capable of slaying towering, monstrous behemoths.

Chinese Vampire: Yep, there are jiangshis in the game as well, depicted as pale-skinned, zombie-like creatures with talismans pasted on their faces and chases after Meng-jiao by hopping. Incidentally, they're clad in the black traditional Manchurian-era robes, despite the events of Lady Whitesnake taking place at least one century before the Qing Dynasty.

 Leifeng Pagoda (Video Game) / int_940a5958
comment
Artificial Stupidity: On the same level as the similar Blade & Sword, where in the middle of a fight enemies will somehow stop attacking if you leave an area's border (players using Xue-er will take advantage of this by letting her spam her disc attacks from behind the borderline). There are also archer enemies whose AI programs them to aim in a straight line... even if you're in a maze-like corridor. So they'll pointlessly spam arrow attacks into a wall.

Living Statue: It's a game set in China, so yes, there are animated terracotta statues looking like the real deal serving as enemies. Who crumbles into tiny shards upon defeat. In later stages there's a Mounted Mook variety, terracotta knights on terracotta horses who's faster and more durable.
