Publisher: Sega
Released: 1993
Golden Axe III is a side-scrolling hack 'n' slash that was only released physically in Japan.
+ Gameplay feels fresh with each play-through due to the introduction of multiple paths throughout the stages.
+ Action is faster and smoother (something the combat benefits from) and the awesome new moves even the playing field.
+ Playable characters have been increased from three to four, and their unique weapons / attacks adds longevity.
- Collision detection is spotty and at times it's difficult to accurately line yourself up on the same vertical axis as an enemy.
- For some bizarre reason, you now have to press a button to collect items rather than simply walking over them.
- The majority of the music is ill-fitting for a medieval theme and would perhaps better suit a more futuristic setting.
