Rastan saga is a good call. I didn't know they made a third entry until just last night, it's one of those Taito games that are SUPER widescreen, it's kinda sick.
Dark Seal on the arcade is another good one, as is Black Tiger.
I just recently played through King Colossus on the Sega Genesis, and while it has level ups from killing shit, I'd really struggle to call it an RPG as it's a pretty linear overhead action game.
A shame that the Genesis, which was a perfect console for these classic arcade titles, only got the 2nd title of the Rastan series ported to it, a port of the 1st one exists for the Master System and it's great, but I really wish we had gotten it on Genesis instead... what a shame, frick.
Indeed, Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara are pure Lodoss War soul.
Best arcade beat 'em ups ever made
I'm never one to ask this, but is the modern port any good? I see they added and changed some stuff, but it looks like it's all optional so that's cool.
Based as frick game. Golden Axe 1 and 2 were great. Wish 3 was as good but its kind of crap. Never played revenge of death adder which is also good supposedly. Anyways that soundtrack hits hard as frick. Especially GA2.
>I need the best high fantasy and sword & sorcery themed games that are not RPGs
Have you taken the pinball pill? Just be careful anon.. It's so chocked full of sword and sorcery tables you might overdose.
Just watch gay porn bro

>projection

I need something to keep me going when I'm in the refractory period

I only played the Genesis port of the 2nd one, hard as balls, but fun. Are the other ones any better or is the 2nd one the peak?
Most folks consider the first one the best. I certainly prefer 1 over 2. But I like both.

is Golden Axe the best Conan The Barbarian game?
Blade of Darkness is the ultimate Conan the Barbarian game and you don't even play as him
No, that would be the Ps3/360 game.
Retro-wise, either Rastan or Golden Axe Warrior.
No, it's a Red Sonja game.
her thong must smell great
No, that would be Barbarian II (Psygnosis, not to be confused with the other game of the same name)
Dungeons & Dragons beat ‘em ups

Magic Sword
Remember to play the original Arcade game, not the stupid Genesis port that gimped Ax-Battler.
I always played number 2 on Gen, hated those fricking squirrels
>Golden Axe
>high fantasy
>can't read
>and sword and sorcery
do you chew your food before you swallow?
How the frick is it not?
Because it's HEROIC fantasy. Sword and Sorcery some call it. It's very much the Conan milieu.
Other than having one buff guy it really isn't much like Conan at all.
>Sword and Sorcery some call it
OP being one of them, you fricking dunce.
You mean most Boris Vallejo looking games. Not high fantasy. I got nothing aside from GA and Conan Exiles
Black Tiger
that is clearly a black dragon
true
crusaders of might and magic
warlords battlecry 2 & 3
Gaunlet, but only as co-op its not that great single player

Blade of vengeance for sega genesis / mega drive.
Not retro but Age of Barbarian on Steam is great.
>Not retro but Age of Barbarian on Steam is great.
It's so jank but it makes me smile so much. BoV is pretty sick too.
I really like magic sword I'd that counts.
Princess Maker 2, that's a fantasy non-RPG, it's a management game.
If what you want is action, Gaiapolis, Dragon Fighter, Rygar, King’s Knight
Black Tiger
Knights of the Round
Rygar (NES)
