Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder (arcade)

If you're a fan of Golden Axe and you're looking for a classic arcade game to play, then look no further! Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder is a title you don't want to miss.

In this game, you play as the title character, Axeman, and you need to fight your way through hordes of enemies to find your friends and save humankind from the evil sorcerer, Orco. This arcade game is a blast, and it's perfect for fans of the Golden Axe series!

The player characters are Goah the giant, Stern Blade the barbarian, Dora the Kentauride, and Little Trix, a young elf lad who carries a pitchfork. None of the characters from the first game are playable, although Gilius Thunderhead from the first game rides on Goah's back, and casts the magic spells between the two, while Goah does the fighting. The main enemy is once again Death Adder. Multiple players could cooperate to complete wrestling moves on one enemy. Depending on the cabinet, the game allowed up to two, three or four simultaneous players.

As well as introducing multiple paths to the franchise, the magic aspect is adjusted. Though still found in the classic Golden Axe pots, the magic spells do not increase in power with the number of pots collected but require a set number to work. The Revenge of Death Adder is the only Golden Axe game in which one of the magic attacks is not offensive, as Trix grows apple trees with fruit that replenish health. The players are allowed to choose different pathways at two Three-way junctions. Depending on the version, the unchosen paths are skipped entirely or have to be passed later in the game.
