Hien Legend: Chapter of the Sky is a pretty good, free obscure vertical doujin shooter by Twilight Destiny made in 2006. A sequel for purchase known as "Hien Legend: Chapter of the Void" (飛燕伝説-空の章- / Hien Densetsu: Kokuu no Shou) was made in 2007. It features four divine Miko Maidens chosen by the gods and divine beasts to travel the world and figure out the cause of a mysterious miasma spreading across various lands. Yuka Kikuchi is the calm 19 year-old Priestess of Earth, Aoi Minazuki is the 18 year-old Maiden of Water, Shinonome Langan is the 21 year-old Miko of Fire, and Suzu Azami is the 17 year-old Priestess of Wind.

The game has you blasting various adversaries with a basic shot that stays the same regardless of what level your shot is for any weapon. You get weapons for each of the four elements and the blast radius is increased when you grab elemental icons from destroying enemies. The interesting thing is that you also have a magic bar and while the regular shot is the same for all the elements, you get to use various levels of magic when your shot level is increased. The higher your shot level, the more powerful magic you can use (higher level magic costs more magic energy).

As such, you can harness over ten spells (that vary in effectiveness). However, each time you are hit, your shot level goes down by one. If you have max water power and max fire power, but feel that water magic will be more useful, use your fire shot to dispatch enemies so that when you are hit, your fire level will drop, but you can still use high level water magic if needed. This creates a certain level of strategy that makes it a little more innovative than the standard doujin shooter. The visuals are only so-so (for 2006, they could have been better) and the music is fair...nothing special. However, the gameplay makes the game stand out as something that is worth playing...even if you only play it once.
