The melee combat in Golden Axe will remind some of Viking, just from the aesthetics of how the character's move and attack. It's light weight and fast-moving and appeared to be a bit more docile than the other monsters in Beast Rider. The last beast we were shown was called Abrax and is a fire breathing, ostrich lookalike, only its reptilian. However, since her massive sword is digging into the creature's spine the poor thing is constantly losing blood so she'll need to continually feed it opposing soldiers or it will buck her off and find its own form of sustenance. Using that as a control stick of sorts, Tyrin can command the huge reptile around the battlefield. To pilot this monstrosity with any kind of proficiency Tyrin must hop onto its back and drive her sword into the beast's spine. Ugly vs Ugly The next is called Raptor, and though it wasn't available for us to see, we were told that despite its name, it's actually the size of a T-Rex. It can also enrage itself which casts out flames from its body and hands. It's one of a few bruisers in the pack of beasts. It can pick up enemies, rip them limb from limb and toss them back onto the battlefield. This bad ass is all about strength and size. As you'd expect, each creature has its own specialties. Given the game's name, the real draw for players is going to be Tyris' ability to hop on one of five beasts at a time and command them around the battlefield. While the game's magical abilities were only briefly shown, the melee and beat abilities were demoed in full. The first that we were told by one of the game's producers is that the gameplay is centered on three basic facets: beast combat, melee combat and magic combat. Thankfully after sitting through a fairly lengthy gameplay demo we can say with confidence that Beast Rider expands quite a bit on the stale melee-driven combat of Viking. At least when talking about the look of the action. Robust single-player campaign: Single player adventure offers more than 12 hours of critical-path gameplay the option to choose from one of three heroes to play as increases replay value.SEGA chose Tyris Flare from the trio as the sexy starlet for Beast Rider, a game that totally departs from the co-op nature of Golden Axe and instead offers a solo experience that struck us at first as a spiritual successor to Viking: Battle for Asgard.Fidelity to the classic games: Environments, magic, enemies, and beasts are designed to evoke fond memories of the original games.Realistic dismemberment: Not only will limbs and heads fly off in sword combat, the beasts in Golden Axe Beast Rider will be able to tear enemies apart as well.On-foot combat: In line with the series’ lineage, on-foot combat plays a key role in this game, allowing players to alternate between light attacks, heavy attacks, blocks, ripostes, magic, and grappling.Mounted combat: Unleash a barrage of bites, claws and special attacks, as well as furious swings from the Hero’s own weapon.And a somber, realistic tone will define Golden Axe Beast Rider as a thematic departure from the core franchise.
Humorous ‘inside references’ - such as the need to kick gnomes for power-ups – will reward players who have fond memories of the prior games. We're promised grand-scale reconstructions of environments from the original arcade game that will give battlefields a greater sense of scope and history. Backing Tyris up are a host of massive beasts – killing machines that can be used to ride into battle, provide defense from approaching enemies, and offer a substantial advantage in close combat. Magic and melee weaponry are at Tyris’ disposal, and both means of offense can be upgraded throughout the adventure. Only Tyris has the knowledge and power to end the genocide that Death Adder and his minions are responsible for. In the game we'll be taking the role of the Amazon warrior Tyris Flare who is out for revenge, having lost loved ones to the brutal expansion of Death Adder’s dark empire. Golden Axe Beast Rider will retell and broaden the Golden Axe story while retaining all of the nostalgic elements players expect from the brand. the company has now confirmed that it is developing a new take on the arcade game, which will be optimised to harness the power of next-generation consoles. Those of a certain age will almost certainly remember the side-scrolling arcade hack and slash game, Golden Axe which was released in 1989 by Sega.
