Golden Axe III Critic Reviews

Best played for a nostalgic step back to the heyday of early gaming consoles. The touchscreen controls of this port will quickly frustrate and annoy, but fans of the hack and slash genre will enjoy this classic and it's quirks.

Oh right it's decent. There are better side scrolling hack and slash games out there, and some are even made by SEGA. (Streets of Rage being one example.)

Despite a terrible port job, Golden Axe III's old school barbaric aesthetic still allows you to crush your enemies, see them driven before you; and hear the lamentation of their women.

A solid adventure that'll appeal to retro fans in search of a Genesis fix. At the same time, there's little to do once you plow through the main quest, aside from inviting a friend to play via Bluetooth. Regardless, the game takes roughly two hours to complete.
