About Blades of Vengeance

As below, it's Rastan with sweet graphics. Still doesn't hold a candle to Golden Axe though, and neither did Rastan. Cool name though.

The girl in red is EVIDENTLY a full ripoff of Golden Axe's Tyris Flare.

Beam Software's stab at a Rastan clone has you playing your pick of three fighters (valkyrie, barbarian, wizard) as you side-scroll your way through hordes of enemies on a mystic quest for the usual bearded deity.
A fantasy-themed platformer that rises above the crowd due to its excellent graphics and sound. It's too bad that the gameplay is only passable at best. Think of it as a 2D Golden Axe, and you'll begin to get the picture.
