Legendary Axe II 1990

Is it still worth playing?

Prince Sirius loses a fight for the throne to his brother Zach and sets out to reclaim it, in this 1990 side scrolling action game for the TurboGrafx-16. It is the follow up to The Legendary Axe, but the strength charging is gone, and there is less platforming. Jumps are higher, and you can bounce on enemies' heads. You swap between three weapons: the sword, a morning star that attacks in four directions with the longest reach and least power, and the axe, which hits hardest with the shortest reach. The Run button throws a bomb that hits everything on screen. Enemies drop weapons, bombs and health, and a timer runs in each level. The tone is darker, and each level has its own music. Swapping between a sword, a morning star and an axe, each with its own reach and power, still gives every fight a choice.
