Retro Review: Golden Axe: The Duel - A Mixed Bag of Steel and Silence When you boot up "Golden Axe: The Duel" on the Sega Saturn, it's like stepping through a portal to an era where arcade fighters reigned supreme. This 1995 title aimed to carry the legacy of its side-scrolling predecessors into the burgeoning realm of one-on-one fighters. While it reached for the stars visually, it stumbled in an area that's crucial for setting the stage in any gladiatorial contest: sound. Slicing in Silence: The Audio Misstep In the cacophony of battle, one would expect each swing of the axe, each spell cast, to resonate with a satisfying clang or boom. Yet, "Golden Axe: The Duel" falters, delivering a soundscape that feels oddly hollow. The absence of level-specific sound effects is jarringly noticeable. You're left swinging your weapon in what feels like a vacuum, the visceral feedback you crave replaced by a muted experience that undermines the game's otherwise engaging combat. It's a misstep that can't be overlooked, for in the absence of these aural cues, the world feels less alive, less immersive. A Visual Feast for the Ages However, it's not all doom and gloom in the lands of "Golden Axe: The Duel." The visuals are a testament to the Saturn's capabilities, with characters rendered in vibrant detail against a backdrop of rich, diverse environments. The animations are smooth, breathing life into each combatant as they unleash a flurry of attacks. It's in these moments of visual splendor that the game reminds you of its noble lineage, offering a feast for the eyes that stands up impressively, even when viewed through the lens of modern gaming. Modern Controllers and Retro Games: A Mismatched Battle Taking on this classic with a PlayStation 5 controller presented its own set of challenges. The Saturn's six-button layout didn't translate well to the modern design, turning what should have been intuitive brawls into a struggle to execute commands. The mapping felt like fitting a square peg into a round hole, leaving my warrior occasionally fumbling instead of unleashing the intended onslaught. It was a reminder that sometimes, the charm of retro gaming also lies in the classic controllers that cradled our hands in bygone days. A Worthy Duel with the Past Despite the audiovisual discordance and controller compatibility issues, "Golden Axe: The Duel" stands as a decent title in the Saturn's library. For those willing to overlook its silent battles and wrangle with controller mappings, the game offers a nostalgic journey back to when fighters were making their first awkward, yet ambitious, steps into the 3D arena. It's not the crown jewel of its genre, but "Golden Axe: The Duel" is a piece of history worth revisiting for any fan wanting to experience the growing pains and triumphs of a bygone gaming era.
