Story[]
Three years have passed since the battle with the evil giant Death Adder, and the earth is now once again exposed to the threat of evil. The Emperor of Darkness, Dark Guld, has been revived and is about to lead this world into chaos once again. Dark Guld began by stealing the Golden Axe from the hands of humans. With the Golden Axe in his hands, Dark Guld leads the demons to destroy all the countries on earth. The only people who can save this world are the three heroes who once defeated Death Adder. Now, the battle between the three begins once again.
Gameplay[]
Golden Axe II plays more or less like its predecessor, without any substantial changes. The game features new magic for each of the heroes with the trademark magic pots from the first game being replaced by spell books this time around.
This game adds a new Duel Mode which works like an one-one-fighter, with players being able to choose from any of the regular characters as well as enemies.
