It’s been a while since I’ve played a beat em up that isn’t Final Fight or SOR 2/3, so i’m glad I picked up the Capcom Beat Em Up collection so I can find out about hidden gems like this!
The King Of Dragons sort of reminds me of Golden Axe with the medieval setting, use of weapons, and midgets which run across the screen occasionally and will give you cool shit if you hit them. They are, gameplay-wise, very different however. While one aged like dogshit and is incredibly jank and unfun, the other is actually fun and incredibly beautiful with some excellent pacing. I think you can tell which is which.
That final boss is hype asf too. I can imagine kids back in 1991 pissing themselves after seeing it.
