Golden Axe Warrior is an attempt by Sega to replicate the successes of Nintendo‘s The Legend of Zelda, and it kinda works pretty well.
It was initially released in 1991 – five years after The Legend of Zelda first came out – and was reasonably well-received critically, but didn’t sell particularly well.
Still fun to play now, with nice graphics and increasingly-challenging gameplay, Golden Axe Warrior is one of the more memorable games available for the Sega Master System.
