Legendary Axe, The for TurboGrafx-16
Review #7049
Legendary Axe, The
Caveman Castlevania
Gameplay
Plays a lot like the platform sections of Actraiser. Has the same slightly-awkward movement and a long, sweeping sword attack. Well, in this case it's an axe. Jumping fully commits you so the best strategy is to stay grounded as much as possible.
Once you get used to it movement feels good.
Enemies move quickly but have predictable patterns. They can overwhelm you if you fight many at once so it's generally best to move slowly to let them spawn one at a time.
Level Design
The levels are kind of boring. They're pretty much just a straight walk to the with some minor platforming here and there. Combat represents the majority of this game's challenge
Theme
Love it. It feels like Caveman Castlevania. There's no story as near as I can tell, but the world is convincing and interesting.
Art Style
Lovely all around. Vibrant colors and decent sprite work. Yes, it's a bit on the simple side, but it has a strong visual language and style.
Audio
I was bopping my head in every level. The soundtrack isn't quite on par with Castlvania, Actraiser, and the like, but I really enjoyed it.
