Yan Loong Legend 2: 2nd Impact

Step aside, Double Edged - there's a new half-pint hack and slasher in town. This one's Oriental.

The extravagantly titled Yan Loong Legend 2: 2nd Impact sees you side-scrolling past picturesque feudal Chinese backdrops to lay the smackdown on no end of gormless ninjas. Use WASD to move, J to attack and K to jump.

Combine movement with attacks to produce different special moves, like a lawn-mower 360 degree swipe or a fireball punch. Some of the inputs are a little fiddly - we're still struggling with the "Swallow's Uppercut".

Hitting I calls up a pause menu where you can buff up stats and pick your magical loadout. It's all pretty easy fare - at least till you run into that evil mirror image of your character in the second level.
