Hh..helo everyone. Yeah, hello, dear gamers.
Today we gonna play with you in a... good game..
the first game was released in far 1989 year
This is side scroller, slasher, bit'em up
and its name is....
Good day everyone. And why it's good?
Because today we gonna go to the past!
It was much more grass, it was much more green,
it was less bits in consoles.
And we spent all our days in sitting near TV set
playing old games like Contra, Mortal Kombat and other hits
Ooh, you forgot about
Comix Zone
Sonic the Hedgehog
Rock n' Roll Racing
Dune - The Battle for Arrakis
Road Rash
Alladin
Battletoads
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Boogerman
Flintstones
Jungle Book
Warsong
Lost Vikings
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
Jungle Strike
Ghost busters
Jurassic park
Vectorman
Zombies ate my neighbors
Warlock
And GOLDEN AXE!
Probably you’ve played in it at childhood.
And it’s slasher with the plot, what is unusual.
But what kind of plot is it?
The plot of first game
(Text in the box)
Sooo..There is no exactly plot in the first game.
Who is “that”? Who is “them”? Why it’s King and Princess,
why it’s Alex, why it’s battle.
Why the sky is so ***?!
What is that stems??
Ok-ok. The plot of second game. (Yoda speech on-russian language) End variant is on the screen
What was that?
Let me talk about the third game. (Text in the box)
Is that all?!!!
In the first game – three boxes
in the second – four
And the 3d – one.
Only one!?
Yeah, the second game got the best plot in the whole franchise.
And now – lets get to the main thing in the slasher – the fighting system.
This is why you should play in this game
nowadays most of games are based on stupid monotonous button mashing,
but here with the only d-pad and two buttons you can kick *** all the time
there are: simple hits combination,
hits when grab
throwing enemies
hit with a running start
hit in jump
hit with a running start in jump
delayed-in-jump hit
low-kick
rotation of the sword with B+C
directed rotation
joint attacks
magic
joint magic
mount-battle
pushing away from walls
and also – it’s variety of all that things for each character
And it’s plenty of chars.
Main characters in franchise are
Axe Battler – Conan in the blue briefs
Tyris Flare – girl in the red bikini
They are available in all three games.
Their appearance is changing, transforms, getting better.
To the third game their names have changed
Axe Battler became Kain Grinder
Tyris Flare became Sarah Burn
Also in the 3rd game were included 2 new characters
Proud Kragger
Chronos “Evil” Lait
Proud is a giant man of muscle, who escaped from the quarry
you can see fetters on his hands.
Chronos is humanoid panther.
blue-painted
As it mentioned – gameplay for each char is unique
for example Proud Kragger is slow and strong
and Chronos Lait is fast and skilful.
Perhaps – you got question – where is one more character,
that was available in two first games
Gillius Thunderhead – green dwarf with horned helmet and battle axe
We just don’t like him.
Also, right before the 3rd game started, he has broken his leg
and stopped to take part in battle activities.
Extra activity to battle is bringing by mounts.
Here you can see unconventional world view of developers.
In first game mounts are strange double-legged chickens with spiked tails.
As the game goes- more mutants are become real
In the second game everything is much more easier – simple dragons
And in the 3rd game originality is coming out again – and mounts aaaare…
But also there is still dragons.
The sound deserves special attention.
Game makes you happy from the first breath till the last continue.
For each location we got unique soundtrack and theme for boss-battle.
Sounds of hits are realistic and enjoyable.
Hmmm.. That death sound reminds me something else…
But the most pleasant moment was
was the strike sound of last boss in the third game.
Listen to that.
Well, it wasn’t actually like that.
Oh yeaaaah…
Everybody likes StarWars.
Remember Tusken Raiders?
They are not in a game.
But we got Jawas!
They steal everything even here!
LITTLE BUSTARDS
List of strange thing is also increasing by king-bird.
Not like that!
Like that.
One of the most powerful bosses in the 3rd game.
And also…
FISH!
Somebody was out of mind?
FISH-LOCATION? Is it flying?
Nope. We can see sea down there.
So why bird on the same height is flying?!
Commone day, in gamers life
Despite the all ***
sometimes bad graphics, strange game elements
– it’s still a very good game with variety of beautiful locations.
And in the third game you are able to choose your way
It's increases replayability in thousand times
You just have to play it, preferably with friend.
But the biggest problem will be not to kill each other :)
