Golden Axe: The Duel [Saturn] - play as Milan Flare (request)
45This is a requested playthrough using Milan Flare in the Saturn version of Golden Axe: The Duel. Read on below for more information...
Milan is a regular playable character in the game.
===== ABOUT MILAN =====
From the game's manual, with slight changes:
"Milan Flare is the princess of the kingdom of Windwood, and the descendant of Tyris Flare, who helped defeat Death Adder long ago. She is also the protector of the kingdom, and relies on wind magic to battle her adversaries. Though a bit young and brash, she takes her role of protector seriously and has won the confidence of her people.
The kingdom of Windwood is the most scientifically advanced of all the provinces. It is a prized jewel for many would-be leaders who could use the power of the winds. Should Milan win, the Golden Axe would be used to ensure that Windwood does not fall to foreign invaders."
===== GAMEPLAY =====
Milan's best feature is her mobility and speed, and she's also a relatively small target. As she wields a sword, it means that her reach of attack is good as well. Command-wise, for Special Moves she is a charge character... imagine a charge version of Ken from Street Fighter with Vega's Barcelona Attack and you're almost there.
Her Bird of Prey special move and Tempest super move (the ones where she leaps into the air and homes in on the opponent) is similar to Vega's Barcelona Attack, giving players the outcome choice of to hit the opponent or to grab/throw and spin the opponent. The super version (Tempest) inflicts decent damage.
===== THE GAME'S STORY =====
The story for this game's events is set 80 years after the events of Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder (a scrolling beat-em-up).
After the people of the land had forgotten the tragic events and had rebuilt their lives, another terror begins again. Out of the mists of time, the legendary weapon Golden Axe was rediscovered and it's power appears to have grown over the years. This power is said to be able to grant it's owner anything his or her heart desires.
Thus numerous fighters across the land, young and old and good and evil, are attempting to obtain this artifact.
===== OTHER INFORMATION / TRIVIA =====
