Golden Axe III - Sega Mega Drive Review

In 1993, Sega released Golden Axe III for the Japanese Mega Drive. It should have been a celebration of 3 generations of arcade style beat'em ups, yet Sega hid away in shame, and never released it anywhere else for years.

Episode Notes:

1. Captured via the Mega SG.

2. This also has a VS. mode that allows you to fight the computer AI or a second player in 1 on 1 battles. It's a simple addition that shoots you back to the title screen after a single match.

3. While The Revenge of Death Adder is seen by many as the true sequel to the first Golden Axe, I actually enjoyed part 2 quite a bit. It's not a bad title.

4. Golden Axe III is on various compilation such as the Sega Genesis Classics that can be gotten on the Switch, PS4 and Xbox One. It's on PC as well.

5. The two endings here basically boil down to you securing the Golden Axe. The default bad ending has you defeating Damud Hellstrike, but war continues. The good ending sees him defeated for good.

6. A couple of characters here have a double jump that helps immeasurably. It allows you to get away from enemies so much faster and more efficiently. Both the girl and panther guy have it.

7. Most secondary attacks are based on additional button or directional presses. Down+Attack. Attack + Jump. Etc.
