Those artists and programmers were really good at making a limited colour pallet and then building great art from it, a restricted pallet and pixel count make for much more solid looking art. Many psudo retro games miss that point and use giant pallets and pixel counts that almost feel right but miss the point, often (like shovel knight) they use an 8-bit style with a screen resolution more suited to 32-bit games, it looks wrongs, making art look dumb when it should squeeze every pixel out of the resolution, then it looks tight.
@@steve43ful yes, in 4:3 aspect ratio it would look much better. The pixels should have a square shape, rather than horizontally stretched out like that. But some people seem to prefer a stretched out image, I don't know why. Or maybe they simply just don't care?
@@jimmywhyte7181I always thought Genesis games looked crispier with a lower palette than snes games where alot of characters or background come across as kind of blob-ish with a higher palette
@@mikeg2491 IMO Genesis looks better than SNES. Pros and cons though with both, SNES has the layer tricks built into hardware but the Genesis is a faster machine, when there are special effects on the Genisis its all down to fantastic programming, but on SNES effects are overused and by far less better programmers. Genesis sounds better too depending. Castlevania bloodlines for example.
Exactly was the first thing I thought of playing the Arcade rom , ooh look Irem Golden Axe lol only difference Golden Axe a bit more of an interesting world
In the real arcade this was a hell of game, each enemy die after 4-7 hits, and most of them can block or parry your attacks,it's a slow paced game compared to Golden Axe,you need to be careful with each step because if enemies storm you, you're pretty dead
@@flipsidelimited6560 well, it's the same genre. It's a 2D beat 'em up / brawler, they all share some similarities. But you have to admit the Double Dragon games are inferior to this game, with worse graphics, sound and gameplay, or don't you think so?
@@greensun1334 not the point in discussion. The OP pointed the obvious DD start game play ripoff, regardless of graphic quality (which granted, are great on this game).
With only 61 colors on-screen? Unlikely. The SNES with its 256 colors would have been a more suitable candidate to have this ported over like they did with Undercover Cops (also by IREM) which was a fine game!
@@alxxzindeed, a SNES port would've been very interesting. But it would've been an early release ('91), and by this time they were quite unexperienced with succesfully programming the SNES so they would have had problems with displaying all the sprites on screen without causing major slowdown. Seems like later on in '94-'95, they found out how to make use of all the SNES' amazing capabilities and how to avoid slowdown issues.
@@Aliceundeaddoll yeah could be great too, the Megadrive have enough color for a game like that, but on PC engine could be arcade pixel perfect like there R-Type version.
@@alxxz if you play rocket knight adventure from Konami or some Treasure game like dynamite heady you see that you have enough color and power horses and Color palette on this Sega system to handle this IREM game.
Nice looking game, somehow a Golden Axe clone, but with better graphics imo. I like the old school dithering. Seems like even the bosses are dead by one hit, I think that's a little bit to easy!
Nice showcase of the environments and spritework, and using the dual-inputs is kind of a fun gimmick, but the cheat/tool-assisted/whatever one-hit-kills make it difficult to appreciate the boss fights. Turn on God Mode if you must, but at least give the game room to breathe.
Nice little sword and sorcery side scroller-- but the ending was a little underwhelming. The viewer is expecting some kind of huge final battle and with a giant boss with multiple stages but that fight never comes. I feel like the viewer would have benefited from seeing the bosses actually fight an extended battle with you. Most of the time you beat them so fast (the bosses were going down with one or two strikes) that we never got a feel for how deadly the bosses actually were. This game should be redone in the modern era and retouched and made harder. Extra stages perhaps?
Apart from the graphics, which are very good for its day, this seems like an inferior version of Golden Axe. Also seems very easy with everything dying in 1 hit.

I love all the Macho Man Randy Savage-like "YEEEEEAAAAWH!!"s that the enemies make when you kill them XD
They can’t get enough of their blades
That Sprite art and that Color Palette are INSANE!

Looks pretty good for 1991.

Lots of cheat codes but still entertained
This team mastered pixel art, you can tell the same artists worked on Metal Slug and King of Fighters in the 90s
Damn, those character designs. It's like Dragon's Crown great granddad.
Gorgeous pixel shading for 91
love the bronze age fantasy vibe

Love the art style
Are you playing both characters at once?
The music on level 2 is very effective. And the squaking sound the bird men make is memorable, good graphics style and colour pallet. Not a bad game.
Thank you 👍 i didn't know that one ❤❤❤
How to play with both at same time?
Enemy head is falling down by the charm.
She is also … ninja!!
Imma tell mama you cheat’n!
Very Cool looking nearly unknown game 🎉
Never knew that game. It would have made a nice Saturn port.
We're totally not ripping off Golden Axe, dudes!
Obvioursly, but it's better in every way, at least in my opinion.
