Golden Axe III

Roster update


Genre: action - beat em up

Publisher: Sega

Year: 1997

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Plays almost identically to GA2. I was hoping for some improvement in 5 years. I guess they give you 4 playable characters instead of 3 this time around.


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Same good stuff. Even has branching paths this time.


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Again some improvements, particularly in the summertime, but for a game released in 1997 I expected way more.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Music takes a step backward. Most of the tracks are so generic you could do them into any game in any genre. The death cries have returned. They're not as annoying as they were in the original but are still cringey.


Overall Score: 66

Review ID: 951
