4.0 out of 5 stars Fun but lacking, July 23, 2002

I understand this is one of the first sidescrolling games ever not long after Final Fight. So for it's day, it really is a decent game. The best thing about it is the fun factor, though each character only has 1 basic attak and magic. The RPG element added to the game with level ups and all makes it cool but it doesn't really change the character much escept for the wizard. It's simple but fun.

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: King of Dragons (Video Game)

You know, this game makes a great party game for friends. When I was younger I had two friends come over and want to play this game more than any other game in my collection. They even wanted to play King of Dragons more than the classics like Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country which was CRAZY!

I received King of Dragons as a present one year. I didn't know anything about the game before I received it- I just knew it was a Super NES game that looked like it was filled with action, judging by the pictures.

The game sure has become a classic over time. It's much better than Golden Axe, in my opinion, because the graphics are more colorful, detailed, and just better. You can pick six characters. You go around killing skeletons and other demons and bad guys. It's the only thing you do, but it's fun. I can't believe Golden Axe received the popularity over this game. King of Dragons is clearly better.

The game is tough. I can't beat it unless I enter the 99 lives cheat code. The best thing about the game is the way the characters yell out a certain distinct sound. You'll know what sound I'm referring to when you play the game.

This is just one of those games that everyone loves.

4.0 out of 5 stars King of the Dragons is not the king, but still worth a look., March 29, 2002

This review is from: King of Dragons (Video Game)

This game is alot like Dungeons and Dragons tower of doom, but toned way down. The graphics are ok. If you have to play with wizards, elfs, and fighters go for it. It is cool, you fight lots of skeletons etc. The only thing is you don't really have no moves, just your weapon and some magic. It still is pretty good once you get to fighting, don't expect much out of it and you will like it. If you can't find a copy of Legend snes. I would try it, it aint too bad and it reminds me of Tower of doom.
Which is a big plus. Tower of Doom is the king of final fight rip
offs.
