What players say

Players say this is a no-frills emulation of the original Genesis Golden Axe, noting that co-op is local-only and there is no online multiplayer despite store tags. Combat feels stiff compared to Streets of Rage, with a cheap AI that punishes falls, though the running attack and rideable creatures add variety.
