Looks like they have decided to make the female the hero of this game. I miss the dwarf already :lol
 
I think you still meet the other characters; they just aren't the mains.

I still have my eye on this game. I hope they offer a demo at some point.

Thank you for moving the link for me Mai :-[ I forgot where I put the thread, sorry about that.
 
Sega's reason on why the co-op mode was removed from this game:

As totally rad as arcade classic Golden Axe might have been in 1989, developer Secret Level's decision to axe co-op from the game's upcoming sequel is akin to castrating the series of the one thing that made it worth playing at all. Since hearing of the studio's misguided design choice, we've been pining for the opportunity to ask anyone who'd listen for an explanation, a chance we got this week at E3 when we cornered Sega's VP of marketing, Sean Ratcliffe.

"Rightly or wrongly, we don't have co-op multiplayer in the game," he offered, a statement that was met with a short, yet uncomfortable pause. "I think as much as anything it's taking inspiration from the original series but in terms of that multiplayer co-op the developer decided that they didn't want to take the game in that direction."

"If Golden Axe: Beast Rider is successful," he added, "we can then come back with something else that maybe will have the co-op mode that everyone is wishing this game has."

Another case of, "Buy this game and maybe next time we'll give you the game you want." It's like buying an air sandwich and hoping for some meat in the next one.
