==New In ''The Revenge of Death Adder''==
{{marquee|Golden Axe RODA marquee.jpg}}
''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]]'' (a Genesis-only game). Now, 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. ''GAIII ''owes a lot to the heritage of ''RODA'', as that was the first game to introduce such a system to the home series, and also featured the "new" style of smoothened character art (as opposed to the "flat" art of the original and its Genesis-only sequel).
'''Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder''' is an [[arcade]] [[beat 'em up]] released by [[Sega]] in [[1992]]. 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 original [[Golden Axe]]. He's regained the Golden Axe and is out to get his titular revenge.
And so there are barrels, flags, statues, and other things you can destroy at will.


The magic has been simplified unfortunately, and each character now has only a single mind-blowingly amazing power to use. Also, as in the later ''Golden Axe III'', each time you die you get another dose of magic as a sort of "last chance" option to even the odds. GA III gave just a single pot, but because there is no magic levelling up ''RODA'' gives a top-up of however many pots you need. So playing as Goah you may be down to 8 pots (not enough to cast) and so when you respawn, the game gives you enough pots to make up the required 13.

==Story==
In short, it seems Death Adder didn't really die in the last game (or he did and was then resurrected?); regardless, he's back to wreak havoc. He's regained the Golden Axe and is out to get his titular Revenge. This is only based on outward appearances, it isn't stated explicitly anywhere within in the game or its documentation.

Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder is an arcade beat 'em up released by Sega in 1992. 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 original Golden Axe. He's regained the Golden Axe and is out to get his titular revenge.

It introduces many new features to the Golden Axe series, 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. If you die with fewer pots than the minimum for you magic power you are given extra pots up to the minimum for your spell; for instance if you are playing as Goah and 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.
