Keeping your beast alive is a big portion of the challenge and makes the game slightly deeper than sword swinging alone.Īs for the 'meat' of the game, you'll be in hand to hand combat, with Tyris, her sword, and her magic. The beasts are only summonable from beast summon stations which appear at certain points in the game. However, using your beasts special ability drains it's life force, so strategy is required to get the most from your ride.

Some creatures can breathe fire, while others can turn invisible. Each creature has it's own form of attack as well as a special ability.

When mounted, Tyris can invoke the creatures attacks and abilities making her an incredibly formidable adversary. Part of Tyris' heritage as a member of her priestess society is her ability to summon and ride a variety of large and imposing creatures. What makes this game special are the beasts. You might think this sounds similar to a lot of games. She'll fight a variety of enemies with both melee and ranged attacks. In her effort to defeat Death Adder, Tyris will travel through several dramatic environments, including ancient temples, abandoned military outposts and even a Titan graveyard, fully populated with hugely impressive skeletons and skulls dotting the landscape. Tyris' journey to find and defeat Death Adder while freeing the Titan, and thus her people, is the story behind this adventure. Naturally, our hero sets out to rescue the Titan. In this telling, Tyris is a member of a group of priest-like female mystics who worship/protect the ancient Dragon Titan, which Death Adder eventually steals for his unknown purposes. In the first Golden Axe we learn that Tyris' parents were killed by Death Adder, causing her to seek vengeance. Her storyline however, differs from the original. Further similarities include her skimpy outfits and fire-based magic attacks. That warrior is Tyris Flare, a female Amazonian famous for her swordsmanship. They have chosen a single warrior from the first game and made her the focus this time. Unlike the first game, which gave you a choice of multiple heroes to use in your quest to defeat Death Adder, Beast Rider offers no such option.
