Hardcore playing is strange. Have you played Mega Man? It’s pretty hard. But why would you want to beat it even harder than it is? But some people do. As a player who have beaten Rockman(Japanese version of Mega Man, not sure if there are any differences) I don’t even want to imagine beating it with no damage. That’s crazy challenge.
The first video is in Russian. I think not using glitches but using different weapons. And the other one is in English, no other weapons, only default weapon. But use some glitches(which doesn’t make it that much easier).
Do you want to try? I say no. Don’t torture yourself like this!

This flying city looks so much like Naju! I have no idea what it is. Just a random find. Bigger resolution if you really need: https://imgur.com/5taDkHo

There are many homebrew projects starts out there. And it’s always hard to say will it be finished or dropped somewhere in the early build or in the middle, or even towards the 98-99% completed as how it happened with Zodiac: The Guardian Story(which is like The Guardian Legend with side view Metroid exploration, instead of top-side view). Dimension Shift is a starting homebrew NES project. Looks kinda in a way of Natsume games. Not sure, maybe it’s a hack of some Natsume game from NES?
So far not much in there. Just nice looking platforms and the character who hits with something like a sword. And very nice music playing.
Consider to drop some feedback to the author in the comments of youtube videos below.
Optomon is tough but Megaman is pretty strong too. Could he beat that monster? Or will Optomon smash him with his deadly attacks?
Poll should appear here. If not appearing, maybe something blocking it, or crowdsignal server has troubles.
Trying polls on the front page. Maybe with time it could work and enough people would vote! Voting polls are very fun in the game’s Russian fan group, in VK.com (Russian social network) https://vk.com/theguardianlegend (by the way I am one of the admins there). So we should try to build such thing here too.

Recently there was videogamesage.com Weekly Contest – The Guardian Legend(ended). Unfortunately no one told us. Maybe some people here would participate if they knew.
It has mostly screenshots from people who tried to beat the score. But also a nice material for our art gallery. One is their mascot in style of Guardian Legend heroine. And other is hand made prize. The ship keychain that is made with cross stitch embroidery.
I also created new gallery section specially for things like that “CRAFTS and MISC”(maybe there could be a better name? Let me know.)
アレスタ Aleste on Sega Mark III is great SHMUP game from Compile. Aleste series remind of Zanac overall. This one also has some similarities with MUSHA on Sega Genesis.
It has similar powerup system with Zanac for special weapons. Tho in Zanac most of weapons are forever until you die. In Aleste they end over time. Upgrading the main weapon is like in MUSHA. Maybe MUSHA even based on this game?
Zanac and Aleste games has many familiar elements with The Guardian Legend. I love the final Round 6 that starts from 28:19 in the video below. It looks totally like Naju surface. Player also shoots out the panels and reveals the bio surface under them.
The game also goes under the name Power Strike on Sega Master System. And looks the same. They are probably identical. Tho who knows maybe there some differences(for example original is quite too hard would be a good idea to lower down the difficulty).
The MSX2 version came few months later after the Mark III. It has intro and a little bit more extra levels. However visually not as good. And MSX2 scrolling not that smooth. MSX2 version is also a bit easier. Which is good because the original from Mark III is quite difficult.
Here are some screenshots from the game:
So much like Naju surface!
The final boss 1st form is totally the Naju’s first boss. Defense system on landing the Naju:
The very first level background color is terribly bright. I think that was a bad decision to make this bright green ground:
Game has Zanac type of bosses:
Nice looking space station background with a rock surface:

Thanks so much to Xygor Gaming! Youtubers like him really made the game so much more known!
There is probably nothing new you will know from the review. – Great game: we all know – Great gameplay: sure – Great music: yes sir – Innovative: yup! – Hidden gem: nod nod But consider to drop a like. It might help to boost the video around his subscribers and to be shown in related videos.

Adding this Miria sprites sheet by SaJoJo into the fan art gallery
Her style here is like from European cover art. If anyone wants to waste some time then maybe make it into a gif animation? I am curious how would it look animated.
