About

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Golden Axe II is a side-scrolling 2D Brawler developed by <a href="/sega/3010-62/" data-ref-id="3010-62"> Sega</a> released for the <a href="/genesis/3045-6/" data-ref-id="3045-6"> Sega Genesis</a> in 1991. Unlike <a href="/golden-axe/3030-14351/" data-ref-id="3030-14351"> Golden Axe</a>, which was ported to a large amount of consoles, Golden Axe II was exclusively a Genesis release at the time.</p><p>It did eventually find a release on other consoles a decade and a half later in 2006, appearing in the <a href="/sega-genesis-collection/3030-14457/" data-ref-id="3030-14457"> Sega Genesis Collection</a> for the <a href="/playstation-2/3045-19/" data-ref-id="3045-19"> PlayStation 2</a>. And in <a href="/sonics-ultimate-genesis-collection/3030-24218/" data-ref-id="3030-24218"> Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection</a> in 2009 for the <a href="/xbox-360/3045-20/" data-ref-id="3045-20"> Xbox 360</a> and <a href="/playstation-3/3045-35/" data-ref-id="3045-35"> PlayStation 3</a>. It is also available as a stand-alone digital download on the <a href="/pc/3045-94/" data-ref-id="3045-94"> PC</a>.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>Like the previous game in the series, Golden Axe II is a 2D brawler, in vein of <a href="/final-fight/3030-6722/" data-ref-id="3030-6722"> Final Fight</a>, but with 'hack-n-slash' elements similar to <a href="/knights-of-the-round/3030-15143/" data-ref-id="3030-15143"> Knights of the Round.</a></p><p>The game features a singleplayer or two-player co-operative mode. Players can choose between 3 characters: </p><ul><li><b><a href="/ax-battler/3005-7323/" data-ref-id="3005-7323"> Ax Battler</a>: </b>The Barbarian</li><li><b><a href="/gilius-thunderhead/3005-1990/" data-ref-id="3005-1990"> Gilius Thunderhead</a>: </b>The Dwarf</li><li><b><a href="/tyris-flare/3005-7322/" data-ref-id="3005-7322"> Tyris Flare</a>: </b>The Amazon</li></ul><p>The player can choose between three difficulty settings: Easy, Normal and Hard. However, when playing on Easy the game can only be played up to the end of Level 5.</p><p>Golden Axe II plays mostly the same as its predecessor and thus reuses some mechanics. The player can restore their life meter by eating foods scattered throughout the level and dropped by various enemies. Magic can be used once the player has collected a Magic Book, found throughout the level and by defeating Wizards. At the end of each level, Wizards will attempt to steal from the player. The player can also attack the wizards to regain their items and obtain additional ones as well. Green Wizards will drop magic books, while Red Wizards will drop food. The player can hold up to 8 Magic Books. The more Magic Books the player has, the more powerful the spell they cast can be. By holding down the magic button, it will charge until the player lets go. The first spell only requires one, with the next powerful spell requiring four, then subsequent spells requiring an additional book.</p><h3>The Duel</h3><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/2579/1735937-duel.png" data-ref-id="1300-1735937" data-size="small" data-ratio="0.75" data-width="960" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 960px"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:75.0%" href="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/2579/1735937-duel.png" data-ref-id="1300-1735937"><img alt="Gameplay in The Duel " src="https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/scale_small/0/2579/1735937-duel.png" srcset="https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/original/0/2579/1735937-duel.png 960w, https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/scale_medium/0/2579/1735937-duel.png 480w, https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/scale_small/0/2579/1735937-duel.png 320w" sizes="(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px" data-width="320"></a><figcaption>Gameplay in The Duel </figcaption></figure><p>A gamemode returning from the Genesis version of the previous game, the player fights through 15 increasingly challenging duels against a group of enemies.
