GameShark: Golden Axe: Beast Rider Preview

Part of a retro revival sweeping the world of videogames, Golden Axe: Beast Rider returns to the classic arcade action game with an eye for glitzy graphics and visceral combat. Sticking close to the series roots by offering obscure character cameos and the same scantily-clad hero, Golden Axe is shaping up to be a decent hack and slash even if it won't entirely appease its hardcore contingent.

Hmmm... not sure about this one. Might be worth a rental.

Heres to hoping the game is a little more inspired than what it seems so far.

"Firstly, cooperative play has been completely removed from the game in favor of a solo experience. It's a disappointing departure from the arcade original. Second, the subtle complexity of the tempo-based combat system could go either way—a nuanced way of pulling off advanced, cinematic moves or a lackluster mechanic that makes button-mashing more attractive."

Found that interesting and disappointing at the same time. No co-op sucks, but if the combat system works well and the flow is good then it will make up for it.

This one might actually be good. It would be really nice to see sega revitalized. Maybe some of the good ol glory days will come back... RPGs next sega please!

sabbath4205814d ago

I was having flashbacks and enjoying the thought of playing a new version of Golden axe, but now you say there is no co op? That seems strange and way off what the old game was about.

as you know this fn GENRE is dieing. (Old-School Beatem up)

So I'll get this game if is decent.

Agreed. Don't forget to include the classic red/white one piece for the amazon.

Fonsecap477d ago

We definitely need a good golden axe Game, dotemu should definitely do it, and Capcom should remake final fight

RetroCaptainSteve477d ago

As long as it's not like Streetwise, I agree.

Fonsecap476d ago

There was nothing "wise" about that game 😅

Why do you have a screen from Street Fighter X Tekken for Street Fighter EX?

gamerben2774d ago

Iirc you couldn't "move in a circle" in EX like the article states either

gamerben2774d ago

Lmao also, worms 3d wasn't even a first person shooter at all either... It was turned based like the original games... Someone didn't research

KwietStorm_BLM2774d ago

Yet I have 2 disagrees lol this site never ceases to amaze.

zodiac9092774d ago

@KwietStorm Don't you know this is not "News 4 Gamers" anymore, it's "Negativity 4 Gamers." A Place where if you say something complementary or ask for some helpful advice, no one gives 2 shits. But AS SOON AS you say something opinionated or controversial, get ready for a riot, mass homocide, and a lynchin' bro.

Uhh summa lumma dooma lumma

WheatBread2774d ago

The SF EX games were actually pretty good.

KwietStorm_BLM2774d ago

They didn't deserve to be printed on disc.

Bass_fisherman2774d ago (Edited 2774d ago )

This article could be made 10 years ago lmao

KaoSouL2774d ago

I actually played the Street Fighter EX games way more than I'll ever play SFV.

Duke Nukem really was awful. It was sad trying to see people defend it.

Yukes3133d ago

I thought it was great fun!

Sorry, can't keep it up. Such a disappointment.

Yui_Suzumiya3132d ago

I enjoyed it and as far as I remember, I was the only one defending it, lol. I was actually giving it a 10/10 on sites to counter balance all the idiotic troll reviews.

lordmiffter3133d ago

Can someone put a pillow over Sonic's face and hold it down until he stops struggling? It'll be an act of kindness.

Skellytorx3133d ago

Oh god. Some of these were shocking to play!

GamerGabs3133d ago

So many disappointments. It's so sad when a well loved franchise looks like it's dying in front of your eyes. (I miss you Sonic, I hope you come back some day)

ConboyAdam3133d ago

I dunno, I think these games are great in a certain way. They're a fantastic counter argument against reboots in general and that at least is something
