Bem mais jogável que o primeiro que isso

redundante
parece só uma releitura do primeiro doque uma continuação
tem gráficos melhores porem falta muita coisa para dizer que isso e um projeto novo e não um golden axe 1 com um patch de correções de bugs

Quando eu tinha amigo de infância na vida real eu jogava esse e o terceiro jogo com ele.


A sequel to Golden Axe that never made it to the arcades and was directly released on Sega's 16bit console. Fun to play co-op.

Certainly better than the original, yet the upgrades to Golden Axe II are very incremental from the first. Still chock-full of annoying enemies, bullshit hit-detection, and somewhat bland level designs. Hopefully, the 3rd entry does something more interesting with this series.

Even with max health, this was pretty damn hard. It's pretty good though

I always enjoyed playing it, even more than the first game. I remember finding the magic attacks in particular pretty cool and spectacular. Unfortunately, I never finished it, but I'll get there :D

Golden Axe II (1991): Excesivamente continuista; Los enemigos son los mismos, los protagonistas también, e incluso los escenarios son casi idénticos. Si te gustó el primero, este se ve un poquito mejor y poco más, así que también te gustará (5,30)

Tyris. 😭
Tyris Why is your buffer system so bad Tyris why. 😭

Golden Axe and Streets of Rage represented two sides of the same brawler coin for Sega in the 90's: The garish, tactless Conan-derivative beat-em-up with sloppy mechanics held together by senseless guilty pleasures, and the suave, snappy Fight Fight clone with a more soulful take on the sights and sounds that defined the mold. Hindsight hasn't been as kind to Golden Axe as it has to good ol' SoR, but the nuances were probably a lot harder to see at the time. You'd be justified in saying each respective entry in their trilogy was doing their best for their time.

When the Sonic bucks started rolling in, it came to stand that Sega's other IP's deserved another shake with further passion and budget. Streets of Rage 2 enriched every idea from its predecessor, bringing the visuals up to the same pristine fidelity that anointed its SNES nay-sayers alongside expansions and refinement to the pre-existing format. It was everything a sequel should be - respecting the original while acknowledging the need to innovate.

Golden Axe II, released a year prior, was not so lucky. Its changes largely superficial, its improvements limited to extremely subtle differences in gamefeel, and its content and scope just as limited as the original. If anything, II's failure to innovate makes it come across as the weaker of the two, being 2 years older but retaining the original's issue of feeling like something is amiss. While Sega would later have the chance to right their wrongs with the arcade-exclusive Revenge of Death Adder, console owners would remain stuck in tunnel vision as the Genesis Golden Axe games failed to mature while their contemporaries graduated and moved on to bigger and better things.

Not much of a significant difference from the first game, but still a fun enough brawler.

This cover is begging to have Arnold Schwarzenegger's face slapped onto it. Yeah, that's it, right on that dwarf body.

Pretty much more golden axe. Plays pretty much the same as the first one. I think you can charge your magic now in this one? or was that 3? The whole trilogy definitely blends together. If you weren't a fan of golden axe before, this game certainly won't change your mind. I however think the first game was neat, and by extension, this is pretty darn neat too. Def not essential tho

Do you know what it is to see Conan the Barbarian and then, just after the movie is over, start playing this? Peak fantasy, Tolkien will never be this cool.
Also the music is great.

I loved this game as a kid. I think I liked the first one more though.

Básicamente una versión mas pulida del primer juego, aunque algo continuista, igual de divertido y adictivo.

Better than the first game but still one that was kinda just whatever to me. Feels kinda basic compared to other beat em ups I’ve played. Hopefully the third one fixes this

there's so little changed here from 1 and it's as barebones of a beat-em-up as you can get

BUT

i do get a lot of enjoyment out of this one regardless

the dash and jump attacks feel good to pull off and everything's just a little bit speedier. The difficulty feels just right too. This is the one Golden Axe game I think is worth your time.


once again enemies can be thrown off cliffs, so its a thumbs up from me

Only think that Streets of Rage should take note is the tap-twice run that Golden Axe series has. Beside that it's an average enjoyable beat'em up.

This was the very first Sega Genesis game I've played and honestly, playing through this alone made me want to explore the console's game library even more.

Yes, it definitely has its annoying and frustrating moments that feel more difficult than they have any right to be, but the Conan-esque coating and the weighty but still pretty responsive controls definitely rightfully earned this title a special place and time in videogame history.

one of the laziest game sequels of all time. a lot of stuff is just ripped from the first game and put in worse levels with worse visuals and worse music/SFX. it's just not good.
