About to play Golden Axe Warrior for the first time
Decided to check out Wikipedia before
Found this under "Reception"
>Golden Axe Warrior was not well received on release. Reviews pointed out that the game was vastly different than the original Golden Axe, including one in Sega Pro, which rated Golden Axe Warrior a 67%.[8] Computer and Video Games also pointed out the difference, calling it an "incredibly dull RPG."[5] Reviewers in Mean Machines called it "boring" and "tedious", recommending Ys and Lord of the Sword instead.[4]

IGN mentioned the game in its article "A History of Gaming's Most Shameless Rip-Offs", calling it a rip-off of The Legend of Zelda. They noted similarities in enemies, map designs and called the soundtrack "eerily similar" to Zelda but without any of the personality.[2]

What the fuck, is there any merit to what these guys are saying?
