“The Legend of Silkroad” is a 1999 2.5D Beat ’em up arcade action game released by Korea’s Unico Studios.
Plot:
Set in the wuxia-themed world of The Silk Road during Ming Dynasty China, players take on the roles of three warriors: Mun-moo the Korean swordsman, So-Chun the Chinese assassin, and Jamuka the Mongolian barbarian. Their mission is to rescue a kidnapped princess taken across the borders. The lengthy journey leads the heroes from China to the Middle East and Rome, encountering enemies like marauders, beast men, and the undead along the way.
Sequel:
Unico released a standalone sequel, The Legend of Silkroad 2: Age of Heroes, a year later, featuring a new cast of characters. In the sequel, various tribes coexist peacefully on the Silk Road until a ruthless overlord named Ba Wang makes a pact with demonic forces to dominate all territories. Following a massacre of the tribes, a group of heroes and survivors—Kai the swordsman, Shenmue the soldier, Shun the assassin, and Chamuku the wizard—embark on a quest to overthrow Ba Wang.
