(5/29/2014 - 6/4/2014) Game of the Week: The Legendary Axe

[pc_kwajalein]

Legendary Axe one of the first TG games that sold me on the system, because there's nothing like a kickass platformer to pass the time. Furthermore, it's about a guy with an axe walking around slaughtering hordes of foes to get his girlfriend back. Hell, I'm game for that!

The graphics are nice and clean with bright colors and detail for all. I particularly like the waterfall stage with the timbers and stones masking the cascading waters behind.


Ah yeah, good stuff.

One more thing; and this is really, really important. Upon finishing off Jagu, Gogan frees Flare, who affectionately gives him a hug and kiss. Gogan then points to lands in the distance as if to say, "The world is ours, babe!"

And then, he points to the closing credits as if to say, "Here are the people responsible for my awesomeness."

I played this some today and had a blast!  I'm terrible at it, though.  Only made it to the 3rd level. :/ I'll try to spend some more time with it before this GOTW ends.

its a game of patterns.  patterns for the enemies, patterns for the bosses, patterns for the jumps, patterns for the levels.  once you know all the patterns cold, it gets much easier.  you will find yourself breezing past sections that drove you nuts until you figured them out.

Except that some enemies and bosses still take a while to kill, even when you know their patterns and have a full powered weapon.

Leg Axe was one of the first few games I owned.  I got it at the same time at LA2 so I didnt really appreciate for what it is.  I completed it and looking back I really liked it.  Its a fantastic game of TG16 and the gameplay was challenging yet completable.

Next I would like to see what everyone thinks of Tiger Road.
