Overall, pass on this unless you are a DIEHARD Golden-Axe fan. This is a good trip down memory lane, but thats about where it stops. Maybe one day I will put this game back in my system and try it out again. The whole fighting engine is based on dodge enemy attack-then counter attack. The bosses are extremely difficult, and so is getting the timing down needed to dodge attacks from enemies. There is this one part of a level where you have to jump across a huge pit (or fall to your death) and I literally played that one part for about 2 wks before I was able to get across!!! I often say that there's a lot of old games that I used to love playing that I wished they would re-make on this generation of consoles.Golden Axe should've stayed on the genesis! The graphics are there.and Tyris looks really good.but she is the only playable charcater (that I know of) the beasts feel very mechanical and it is hard to get the hang of them. but to be fair, I kinda stopped playing it a long time ago. I have had it for some years now and still have not beaten it! haha. I bought it around 29 March 09 and am just now getting to a review. Graphics are good, story is good, controls are really difficult! And this game is insanely hard. The game's main storyline reveals lore from a time long before Tyris first joined Battler the warrior and Thunderhead the dwarf in their quest to conquer the evil Death Adder, one quarter at a time.īeast rider falls flat and leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth In addition to Tyris Flare, there are five other playable characters. Often, a perfectly executed attack or counter-attack move is highlighted with a quick, dramatic cinematic cut-scene.Other elements inspired by the original 16-bit game include an RPG-style leveling system, destructible environments, and even greedy little gnomes.
Beast Rider's magic system borrows ideas from the original arcade game, but fires them up with contemporary lighting and video effects. Parry and dodge abilities are the key to victory, but they must be used at just the right time to be successful. On foot, combat involves combos and timing. It is possible to knock an enemy off its perch and steal its mount, but opponents can steal Tyris' mount in the same way, if she is not careful. Tyris fights using her powerful magical spells, on foot with a blade, or on the back of powerful, monstrous steeds that only the bravest or most foolish would ever dare try to subdue.There are five main types of beast in the game, any of which can be commandeered by the heroine. The main storyline puts players in the role of the barbarian gladiator Tyris Flare, who seeks vengeance against the demons that destroyed her tribe. Sega's arcade and console classic of the late '80s, Golden Axe, swings out in a bold new direction with Beast Rider, a gritty, 3D combat adventure in a harsh land of fantasy.
