''[[The Guardian Legend]]'' (known as ''Guardic Gaiden'' in Japan) was a hybrid [[Action Game]] and [[Shoot'Em Up]] created by [[Compile]] for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. Released aroundin 6 February of 1988,{{verify}} in Japan it's likely forgotten by all but the most hardcore of gamers, but this game did a great job of blending the two genres.
 
The game is about a [[Robot Girl|female robot]], codenamed "the Guardian", who is commissioned with stopping an alien-infested planet called Naju from [[Colony Drop|crashing into Earth]] and killing everyone. To do this, she must set off ten strategically-placed explosives within the corridors (by transforming into a spaceship and flying through them) and defeat the bosses within.
 
Developed by Compile. Directed by Masamitsu Niitani. Published by Irem in Japan, Broderbund in North America, and by Nintendo on the European Union.

* [[Action Girl]]: The game's protagonist.
Line 49 ⟶ 50:
* [[Mook Maker]]: LOTS of them...
* [[More Dakka]]: The Guardian's default gun relies on this principle. The more chips she's carrying, the more bullets-per-second she can shoot. The enemies also get this trope - in some of the later corridors, you'll find yourself facing an inspiringly absurd number of bullets and missiles and flying enemies and EVERYTHING ELSE.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Our protagonist walks around in a bikini fighting monstrous aliens. Made more apparent by the japanese cover.
* [[Organic Technology]]: Those enemies that aren't [[Mechanical Lifeforms]].
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: Teramute, a dragon boss that sprays fireballs. [[Breather Boss|It's very easy, unfortunately]].
