Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder is an updated sequel to the hack 'n' slash hit from Sega. It features an all-new cast of distinct characters, impressive sprite scaling, four-player gameplay, and an expanded combat engine including team attacks. It also retains classic Golden Axe elements like screen-filling magic attacks and mountable bizarrian creatures.
The only returning Golden Axe character is Gilius Thunderhead, who rides on the giant Goah's back.
This is the only brawler to feature four-player team-up throws. This attack is so strong it can kill some bosses in a single hit.

Revenge of Death Adder is a massive improvement over the original Golden Axe. It adds just enough to the combat to maintain the spirit of the original while adding depth. Its fighter and enemy design are top-notch, its graphics feature huge sprites and excellent pixel art, and the magic attacks and Bizarrians are crazier than ever.
