I actually really like it despite its flaws, love its nice Conan-esque style(principally beautiful in the arcade version) with stages that never drag too much, its enemies have an aggressive AI that likes to rush at you(instead of hiding behind the screen like in many beat em ups) or surround you(and some enemies will even Vegeta-style watch its underlings fight you before battling), there are cool dragon mounts and the overall characters moves, while simple, don't feel as stiff as other early beat em ups like SoR1.

The Mega Drive version also has an extra stage, that is quite fun as there is plenty of opportunity to push the enemies off the cliff, but the new final boss is extremely unfair.
