First Golden Axe Screens

Sega and Secret Level have released the first screenshots of their long-announced Golden Axe revival Beast Rider, which is a bit of a departure from the old bruiser we remember.

Beast Rider has you playing as Amazonian hero Tyris Flare, and instead of straight-forward fighting shifts focus over to free-roaming environments and - surprise, surprise - the various beasties you can ride and battle on.

There are five in total, ranging from the light and nippy to hulking, slow dragon-ites with scales the size of toilet seats.

Fear not though; the traditional hack and slash combat is (in some form at least) still there. And if you're tired of fumbling around on a dragon you can hop off and perform combos on foot - plus you've got plenty of obligatory fire spells to chuck around too.

The open environments are looking rather good, but as always it's going to come down to how decent Golden Axe's combat system.

mmm nostalgia cookie. It brings back memories, hope it brings more to the table the industry has changed and repetitive though good when we where younger doesn't bode well where gaming has become an expensive hobby
