What players say

Players describe Golden Axe II as a short, simple beat 'em up that feels more like an expansion pack than a true sequel. The improved magic system and new back spin attack are appreciated, but the game is criticized for being too easy and not evolving much from the original, with some comparing it unfavorably to Streets of Rage.
