What beat-em-up is this?

[BetaWolf47]

I thought it was one of the two Capcom Dungeons & Dragons games, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Here's what I remember:

-It was typical fantasy based
-There were multiple characters
-It was very linear, with very little vertical movement
-Each character had their own element, most notably in their special (one of the guys had fire, and a female could summon a whirlwind)
-It seemed to be a mid-90's game, much like the Dungeons & Dragons games.

That's all I really remember, because I never really played it. I only watched the demo a few times.

No woman but maybe The King of Dragons. Magic Sword or Arabian Fight

Could it have been Golden Axe?

[BetaWolf47]

None of those. It seemed darker.

Sounds like Guardian Heroes. Fits all the criteria.

But how could someone forget Guardian Heroes:confused:

[BetaWolf47]

Guardian Heroes doesn't have an arcade version, does it? Definitely not it. Not the same style as that game.

There's Blade Master from Irem, it has a fantasy element but may be more hack and slash, but it's from 1991.

That's what I was thinking, but Blade Master only has two playable characters, and they're both dudes. I don't recall any sort of elemental magic either, but I only played the game once so I may have just forgotten. It's a really mediocre game.

Thanks for the suggestions. None of them seem to be it, so I'm thinking I might be remembering it incorrectly. It does play very similar to Capcom beat-em-ups and Golden Axe, so it might just be Golden Axe (Death Adder) or one of the D&D games that I'm remembering wrong.

In fact, since I only saw the intro, it might just be a further level, and certain late spells I'm remembering. Time to watch the D&D and Golden Axe demos.

Gate of Doom or Wizard Fire?

No, it was sidescrolling for sure.

I just watched the intros to the other games, and none of them matched. Do different regions have different intros or anything?

Occasionally yes.

It could maybe be one of the D&D games. Those arcade games were badass

Well played.

Well played indeed.

Ok long shot, but could it be Cadash?
