Am I the only one who really likes Legendary Axe?

Yes, that huge castle is where I made it. I can't remember if I beat the game or not. It's been about 7 years since I played it.

You haven't beaten it then. You would have remembered...trust me. The final boss is awesome and the ending is disturbing.

Back in the day, my brothers and I recorded TG-16 commercials on the VCR and played them back in slow-motion: Jagu, with his pulsating veins and bad-ass character design,  won our hearts.

LEGENDARY AXE IS AWESOME.

1) Any game that has pygmy monkeys (literally) jumping on your back and biting you = awesome.

2) Old_Rover always complains about Legendary Axe (it is his prerogative, I won't take it away from him), but I  think it is a decent game with a lot of nice touches that elevate it above simply being "generic", despite the "bugs" or flaws it may possess (this is debatable). Nostalgia is not a factor here: Legendary Axe is a decent game, even for first-timers in 2010.

3) HOWEVER, and I always say this when we discuss Legendary Axe, I hate the "hawk"/"eagle"/"blob" sprite used in the canyon cliffs stage. Such an ugly sprite.

4) Read about my love for the Legendary Axe soundtrack here.

I complain about the bad gameplay mechanics in The Legendary Axe. That's what really kills the game. That's the only thing I greatly dislike about it. The visuals are great, the music is primitive but acceptable, and the premise is cool. But the gameplay destroys it...terrible coldet ruins the experience and the game is simply not very fun because of it.

I have to agree about the controls, the gameplay is alittle.... stiff at times. Thats probably one reason that the game is as tough as it is. I've never beaten it.... of course I suck at games. Now I think that Legendary Axe II's controls a little better, plus with the other weapons its a touch more entertaining. Also I think the second one (I know, not really a sequel) is a bit darker thematically.

The second one also has tits, and that is always a plus!
