Wulverblade
ABOUT THIS GAME Help Britannia defeat the Romans in Wulverblade – a hardcore side-scrolling beat 'em up inspired by classics such as Golden Axe, Sengoku, and Knights of the Round! Experience a historically inspired storyline across eight campaign levels – or test your skills in the game’s deadly arenas. Go it alone or team up with a friend in local two-player co-op. It’s time to show the Ninth Legion what you’re made of! The Story It’s 120 A.D. – and the Roman army has seized control of the south of Britannia. Their goal: to march north and conquer the rest of the island with brutal and bloody efficiency. The 5,000-strong Ninth Legion is preparing for war – but little do they know what lies in wait for them. Caradoc, Brennus, and Guinevere – guardians of the northern tribes – have rallied the troops and are ready to wage a war against the Romans. The siblings bear a gift that even they are not aware of; soon, all will discover its true power.

Very good old-school beat 'em up with fun gameplay and great aesthetics and atmosphere. Unfortunately, both are held back a bit: the former by the comparative lack of tactical sophistication in the characters' moves, the latter by the repetitiveness of the stage designs. At the same time, both are mitigated by the game allowing players to save and just continue at a later date, so the experience doesn't get boring.
Story-wise, it's a classic - arguably basic - plot, but it's livened up by the main characters and the twist at the end (which is poorly foreshadowed, unfortunately, unless you read the characters' bios).
Overall, a definite rec!
