''[[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 in 6 February of 1988 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. |

* [[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. |
