Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder

Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder (hereafter RODA for simplicity) introduces many new features, most notably being that it adopts the advanced system of object interaction that has since been seen in Golden Axe III. With this new system magic pots and food are only picked up when you intend to by pressing attack when on top of them, rather than just stepping on them. There are also barrels, flags, statues, and other things you can destroy at will to get to goodies inside, or just for looks.

While movement and interaction has become a little more involved the magic system has instead been simplified, each character now has only a single mind-blowingly amazing power to use. Each time you die you get another dose of magic as a sort of "last chance" option to even the odds. Golden Axe III gave just a single pot, but because there is no magic levelling up RODA gives a top-up of however many pots are needed. So playing as Goah if you are down to 8 pots (not enough to cast) when you die, the game then gives you enough pots to make up the required 13.

Story
There is no backstory given anywhere within the game or its documentation, but it seems that Death Adder didn't die for good in the last game. He's regained the Golden Axe and is out to get his titular Revenge.
