Golden Axe (series)/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Franchise Killer: Beast Rider, an attempt to reboot a series that hadn't seen a new installment in almost 15 years, with the final result looking like a poor man's version of Heavenly Sword.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Unfortunately, The Revenge of Death Adder is only installment in the series that has never been ported to any home console or download service, which is a shame as it would've been a great launch title for the Sega Saturn or Sega 32X.
  • Overtook the Manga: The first of the Mega Drive sequels (Golden Axe II) was made before the actual arcade sequel (Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder).
  • Port Overdosed
  • Write What You Know: Developer Makota Uchida is known to be a big fan of J. R. R. Tolkien and used both the text and illustrations as inspiration. He said in an interview that, "If I could, I'd vote in Gandalf for President."
