A reminder that Golden Axe also got a pretty good remake/fangame, though with OpenBOR.

Every Sega Genesis SOR game under one roof with a ton of extra features. It was fun getting into this after SOR 4 and considering what exactly makes a game “modern”.

The new game definitely added significant depth to the combat, but the genesis games still have cool ideas that didn’t carry over; like a meter to do special moves w/o losing health, vehicle levels, and alternate routes. There’s also a shorter game here with an 8 stage march to the end. More ideal length for these games I think.

There is such a thing as too much of a good thing, if said good thing takes forever to finish and honestly struggles with having to put EVERYTHING in this franchise into one game.
