Why should I play Zelda over this? This looks way better

>>8455139
Zelda is the classic example of this kind of game. How are you supposed to appreciate how good Golden Axe Warrior is if you don't understand Zelda?
Don't play one over the other. Play Golden Axe in light of Zelda to properly see how great it is.

It becomes kind of bullshit near the mid point. Especially if you keep dying and have no money to buy progression items or stay at inns.

I've been playing this game off and on and this is the point I've reached. There's always lots of enemies who take too many hits to kill and your weapons are clumsy to use.

i havent played the original zelda in 30 years but ive played most of the subsequent ones a decent amount throughout my life, i was actually looking for something similar to zelda

Make sure you play Neutopia 1 & 2 on the TurboGraphics 16 as well.
The first game is rough, but still better then Zelda 1. Neutopia 2 is my favorite Zelda that isn't Zelda.

It is way better than Zelda. Zelda still good, but this vastly improved upon it.

Golvellius still sucks though.

>> No.8455514

Zelda 1 had quite a number of copy-cats, which is great because I love the game.
It's too bad Link to the Past didn't have as many, the copy-cats it did have I hated, like Crusader of Centy and Gunman's Proof.

>>8455514
Crusader of Centy (it was called Soleil in Australia) is legitimately good.

>>8455139
This game would be very good if
1) No money loss from dying
2) Not reviving with 3 health. 1/2 health would be good.
3) You didn't have to waste all of your magic looking for secrets in rocks.

I know a lot of people like it, but I hated the sword combat and always having to throw the sword around. LttP's combat was simpler but much "tighter" if that makes sense.

Play both?

Love it, it’s only downside is the money grind

>> No.8455779

actually started playing this out of curiosity recently, i think im 3 dungeons in. it's pretty good so far but ive never really played the first Zelda so i can't really compare

>> No.8457591

>>8455139
You should play both, but the reason Zelda 1 and ALTTP should be higher in your backlog is because they have more mechanically interesting items.
Golden Axe Warrior has three or four.
Golvellius has maybe three.
Neutopia has none.
ALTTP has at least eight.

Who said you should? GAW wouldn't exist without Zelda, but you do you.

>> No.8457787

>>8455139
Just play both and form your own opinion. You're not a child anymore who can't afford games or are too retarded to emulate.

>> No.8457794

>>8455486
I actually find the first Neutopia to be better than the sequel for one key flaw the second game brought:
Enemy knockback isn't determined from where you hit them, but rather what direction you're facing when they get hit. So hit and run tactics can potentially knock an enemy backwards into you.

You could play both, or neither.

>> No.8461261

>>8455139
Please no one fall for this bait. This game is not anywhere near as good as Zelda. It is way more simplistic than Zelda 1. It's more of a hack and slash than anything, and a shitty one.

I liked that it leaned more heavily into RPG mechanics, but that doesn't save the really boring gameplay elsewhere. Just play Zelda, there is a reason it's a classic and this isn't.

Why can't you play both? Neither game are terribly complex and you can finish them on a lazy weekend.

No way. The controls in LS are crap, combined with the emphasis on isometric platforming... yeah.

you probably never played on a proper Mega Drive controller. Controls are fine - push a diagonal to walk in that direction.
