Adventure log.

Finally, I got around to playing Golden Axe 3. This installment differs from the first two. The first difference is that there are four heroes instead of three, and there's no dwarf among the heroes; he acts as a mentor (or something like that, I'm not sure). In addition to the existing guy and girl, there's a human-panther and a large barbarian (a former slave, who walks around in chains). Changes also affected the magic system, not only in its distribution among the heroes but also with the introduction of three levels. The girl still has fire magic from the previous games, while the guy now uses water magic, the barbarian has earth magic, and the cat-like character wields air magic (although it's a bit strange). In this game, I decided to play as the guy; it was his turn. By the way, this game has branching paths, so I won't be able to show all the locations. Round 1. We start in the desert... Screenshot #1 The dwarf wished me luck and waved goodbye (he's standing with a crutch; it seems he injured his leg). Screenshot #2 I used my mighty strength. Screenshot #3 We're now riding in a cart. Screenshot #4 The first boss. Here's the first fork in the road; I can go straight (to the forest) or continue into the desert (where the pillars are). Screenshot #5 I used magic (level 2). Round 2. I decided to go to the desert; I like them. Screenshot #6 I'm attacking with my sword (I use this attack with all characters; it's very convenient). Screenshot #7 I'm fighting lizard-skeletons and rescuing hostages (slaves). Screenshot #8 I'm using magic (level 3, the strongest). Screenshot #9 I'm using magic (level 1). Round 3. From the desert, I ended up in the jungle; I don't know how... Screenshot #10 These women are annoying. Screenshot #11 Another fork in the road, but this time it's inside the level, not a choice of the next level (I went up, towards the mountains). Screenshot #12 Jungle bosses. Round 4. From the jungle, I ended up back in the desert; they're all different, though... Screenshot #13 I arrived, and they immediately knocked me down... persistent women, they want everything at once. Screenshot #14 I found a little dragon and am burning the heretics. (By the way, here, the fat guys level up and start breathing fire!!! Just like in that game I wrote about in the "Abode," what the heck? What is this game stereotype? Why do fat guys always breathe fire?) Screenshot #15 Two more brothers, the masters of the desert. Round 5. From the desert, I headed to the mountains... Screenshot #16 I like the pits; you can throw mobs into them. Screenshot #17 This is the main boss; I defeated him, but he ran away. Round 6. Apparently, a huge eagle lived in the mountains; I got on it and flew to the castle on the island... unfortunately, enemies also got on it along with me. Damn, they found a plane. Screenshot #18 I'm fighting the passengers. Screenshot #19 We've already arrived at the boss's place, and I fought him again. Screenshot #20 I defeated him, and an evil spirit flew out of his body, and the eagle turned into a king, who told me to save the princess in the castle, and then he was struck by lightning and died
