Summary

“The powers of the Gold Armlet are now yours to wield.” Team Ancient turned its attention from the urban grime of Streets of Rage 2 to the lush meadows, dry deserts and atmospheric caverns of Oasis for its Mega Drive follow-up, The Story of Thor. Leon, Chris Worthington, Michiel and community contributors' quest for the four spirits is on! As usual we discuss the art, the audio and the mashed-up mechanics of this action/RPG hybrid. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_648.mp3 Music featured in this issue:1.
