GOLDEN AXE MEGA DRIVE GAMEPLAY

Golden Ax IIZゴールデンアックスZGooruden Akkusu ({{{2}}}?) is a side-scrolling beat'em up video game released in 1989 by Sega for the System 16-B arcade.[1] It is the first game in the Golden Ax series.

Makoto Uchida was the game's lead designer, and was also responsible for creating Altered Beast. The game was ported to the Mega Drive and Master System consoles, among many other systems.

Plot
The game takes place in the fictional land named as Yuria. a Conan the Barbarian-style high fantasy world.

An evil entity known as the Death Adder has captured the king and his daughter, holding them both captive within his castle. Death Adder also finds the Golden Axe, which is Yuria's symbol, with it he threatens to destroy both the ax and the royal family unless Yuria's people accept him as their ruler.

So three warriors set out on a quest to save Yuria and avenge their losses at the hands of Death Adder. The first is Gilius Thunderhead, from the mines of Wolud, who had his twin brother murdered by Death Adder's soldiers. The second is the barbarian Ax Battler, who seeks revenge for the murder of his mother. And last but not least, we have Tyris Flare, who had his parents murdered by Death Adder himself.

The warriors rescued the inhabitants of the then looted Turtle Village (Vilarejo Tartaruga), which takes its name from being found on the shell of a giant tortoise. This turtle takes the heroes across the sea and then flies to Death Adder's castle on the back of a giant eagle. Once at the castle, the heroes defeat Death Adder, who was taking over the Golden Ax, and save Yuria.

In the PC and Mega Drive versions, the heroes fight Death Adder's mentor, the Death Bringer, as the true final boss. After the battle, they receive the Golden Ax and are blessed with immortality.
