Ax Battler: A Legend of Golden Axe is an action-adventure game that's exclusive to Sega's 8-bit handheld.
+ Excellent balance of one-on-one fights, side-scrolling stages and town exploration to give the game real depth.
+ Enemies in the one-on-one scenes require unique strategies to defeat which gives each battle a neat puzzle-like element.
+ Being able to gain Special Attacks keeps the adventure feeling fresh and affords you new ways to dispatch enemies.
+ While the game isn't particularly lengthy, passwords are offered at each location to save your progress.
- There's a slight button delay when attacking, and the spotty collision detection often leads to cheap hits.
- Enemy placement can be infuriating, and the ending (where the final boss plays out over a cut-scene) is unsatisfying.
