Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder is a side-scrolling arcade hack 'n' slash game released in 1992 by Sega. It was the first 32-bit game in the series. Despite the game's high quality and popularity, it still remains arcade exclusive as of 2010.
Only Gilius Thunderhead makes a return, riding the back of new character, Goah the giant. The rest of the cast is all new and includes Stern the barbarian, Dora the female Centaur, and Little Trix, a young elf lad who carries a pitchfork. The main enemy is once again Death Adder. Dora had the ability to transform to a normal human whenever she chose to ride a creature in the game.
Two players could cooperate to complete wrestling moves on one enemy, and the game allowed four simultaneous players at once.
The game is an overall improvement on the original with better sound, graphics, and gameplay. As well as introducing multiple paths to the franchise, the magic aspect was adjusted. Though still found in the classic Golden Axe pots, the magic spells did not increase in power with the number of pots collected but required a set number to work. The Revenge of Death Adder was the only Golden Axe game in which one of the magic attacks was not offensive, as Trix grew apple trees with fruit that replenished health.
Another noticeable effect only seen in 'Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder' amongst all beat'em up games is the possibility to see (but scarcely throughout the game) a closeup sequence of some enemies' faces being petrified during Goah's special magic or scorched during Stern's magic firestorm. The sequence is displayed in the opening demo, or the first time Goah or Stern performed their magic on regular enemies.
Also, one aspect of the game which has inspired many similar arcade games nowadays is the possibility offered to choose different pathways at certain two two-ways crossroads, although eventually the paths not chosen the first time would have to be passed later in the game.
