So much better than the second Rastan game in virtually every way (I personally think Rastan Saga II had better music, but that's the only good thing about that game). Such a shame that this third game never got released outside of Japan in any capacity. Taito were probably worried that it would be as poorly-received as the second game. I find it funny how the final boss is the only villain in the game who doesn't speak German.

Well, it's cool to see that Warrior Blade honors the Holy Trinity - the Joe Average, the Speeder and the Brick - of all those side-scrolling beat-em-ups from the 1990's. Final Fight and Golden Axe started it, then we had Streets of Rage, Knights of the Round, Alien Storm, Violent Storm, Pit Fighter (which didn't scroll much), The Ninja Warriors for the SNES, that crappy Burning Fight rip-off that SNK churned out...Cadillacs and Dinosaurs had _two_ Joes, so did Vendetta, Alien vs Predator had a Slightly Speedy Joe and a Slightly Bricky Joe, Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom had _two_ Bricks, Streets of Rage 2 threw out _their_ Brick (Adam) and replaced him with an Extreme Brick (Max) while one-upping the Speeder (Blaze) with a new Extreme Speeder (Skate/Sammy)... So many Joes, Bricks and Speeders.... But it looks like Rastan gets to be the Brick this time around, so good on him! I like playing the Bricks. Here's lookin' at you, Sir Percival from 'Knights of the Round'! 😁
