Welcome to watch Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10.

Failed videogame revivals for this list will be looking at video game reboots, remakes and re masters that failed to get their respective franchise is back on the map.

As your future king, I order you to purge this city number 10 Golden Axe Beast Writer Theo Golden Axe franchise may not have had a CZ many Sequels as other popular beatem of titles, but the simplistic combat and fantasy setting kept players coming back.

However, the poor quality in Golden Axe three caused the franchise to go dark for a decade and 1/2 and it wouldn't return until 2008.

Unfortunately, be Strider just made things worse.

Thegame tried turning the franchise into a gritty hacking slasher, but also made the combat mind numbing while suffering from a host of technical issues.

In an issue of Game developer magazine, project producer Michael Buckcherry explained beast writers trouble development, citing instances of port management, lack of resource is and loss of vision as the reasons behind the game's negative reception.

Yeah, number nine thief.

You should get yourself one of these, you know, on the other side.

Looks like I won't be going that way.

While thief Deadly Shadows received solid praise when it launched in 2014 1 would think we would have seen another game quickly.

Alas, the game's poor sales possibly caused the sequel to get cancelled, thus putting the I pee on ice.

Fans wouldn't get a new thief until 2014 an entire decade after deadly shadows was released and the weight it was not worth it.

If someone's here, step out where I can see you.

This reboot failed to show off what made previous game so fun and instead gave a shoddy lip sinking, idiotic, aye aye, and an utterly boring version of Garrett.

After this, it might end up being even more than 10 years before we see another thief again.

I can move faster.

I can climb faster.

You could kill faster and make mistakes faster.

I get it.

You're not in control.

Number eight Contra Roque or four time the Contra franchise, was doing very well, rarely ever getting below mixed reviews.

Even hard core Uprising, which featured a vastly different art style than previous titles received good scores.

Sadly, this would all come crashing down when Konami shelled out Contra Roque, or in 2019 HB is actually a sideboard.

Great.

I love him so much.

The game played barely resembled the bullet hell nature of the franchise, with its cool downs and slow movement, and the annoying characters showed that Konami was trying way too hard to make names.

After experiencing this mess, it feels like every Konami property is required to have its own bomber man Act zero Number seven Dungeon Keeper Jobs Way Do love Our sparkle is, don't we?

While the dungeon Keeper Siri's wasn't as big as other franchises that came out in the late nineties, it's still managed to build up a called following.

There weren't too many games back then than focused on playing the villain and killing heroes.

Of course, all good things come to an end, and E a did so in the worst way possible by turning dungeon keeper in tow, a mobile game finally returned keeper with an aggressive monetization scheme.

The notorious 2014 at practically demanded players to fork over money by placing lengthy cool down timers want to extend your wall by one square, wait a day or pay up?

That was the Dungeon Keeper way.

And now it has tarnished whatever new fans It could have potentially scooped up Number six Star Fox zero wrong for the past couple of generations.

Then Tendo seems to have left the star Fox i p Back in the nineties, while the three D s remake of Star Fox 64 was a pleasant blast from the past, Command on the D s left so much to be desired, We wouldn't get a new installment until 2016.

But it wasn't the experience fans were looking for.

Star Fog zero focused on implementing cinematic controls, which only made the game difficult to play.

And the overall experience felt too close to 64 while its tower defense game guard was enjoyable enough.

Zero just didn't bring the energy we felt during the franchise is youth number five Warcraft three re forged.

What a mess this turned out.

To be re forged was to be a marvellous visit back to an rt s classic, but quickly ended up being one of the worst games of 2020 prior to launch, Blizzard had hyped up the game by promising new cut scenes, upgraded visuals and remodeled character designs.

What fans actually got was an overpriced texture upgrade in a sleazy policy forced onto the modern community, ready to work.

The backlash was so relentlessly fierce that re forced has become the lowest user rated game on Metacritic, and Blizzard began offering refunds.

Jana, I'm sorry, Arthus.

I can't watch you do this.

Number four alone in the dark illumination.

Ever since the disastrous 2008 reboot, it feels like alone in the dark has been on a never ending right through hell.

And it's only gotten worse.

If you thought the reboot was bad, you must not be aware of Atari.

Second attempt to revitalize the franchise Illumination failed in spectacular fashion when it came to executing.

It's interesting concepts, and critics were not shy of expressing how much disgrace it brought to the i P.

With T H Q.

Nordic now owning the I P.

Maybe there's hope for alone in the dark to come back and become more frightening than ever.

Number three, Shenmu three.

Despite the 1st 2 games being commercial flops, Shenmu fans had spent 20 years begging for a new game to close it.

You story, plus thanks to franchises like Yakuza evolving the open world formula.

Shenmu should be bigger and better than before, right?

Well, the fans got their wish in 2019 and it was quickly resented.

Thanks.

Shenmu three featured the same out of date gameplay from previous games.

Did nothing interesting to make itself stand out and had the nerve to end its story with another cliffhanger.

Serious creator.

You?

Suzuki said he'd love to finish the supposed 11 chapter story, but after this, we'd like to find some sailors so we could sail away from this disappointment.

You're pretty good.

Not yet.

Number two.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater five.

Ever since Activision introduced the skateboard peripheral with Tony Hawk, ride, the pro skater Siri's has never been the same.

The HD Re master was lackluster, and tread was a bigger flop than ride, but the whole skate park would be demolished after the cataclysmic Pro Skater five in an attempt to milk the I pee before their license expired, Activision had Robo Moto rushed through a whole year of development, resulting in a game riddled with bugs and void of any personality.

What's worse is that the game's failure forced Robo Moto to shut down its doors and server shutdown in 2017 making the always online game unplayable.

Before we unveil our number one pick, here are a few dishonorable mentions.

A special weapon toured through the entire building.

I didn't.

It'll be some time before he recovers.

Before we continue.

Number one.

Duke Nukem Forever.

After taking the FBI seen by Storm in the nineties, it seemed as though Duke was on top of the gaming world.

While we would get a handful of spinoffs, Duke wouldn't get a new game until 2011.

Theo Duke Nukem forever spent a long 15 years in development hell and became known as one of the worst games ever made.

One word that was frequently used between critics and fans was outdated, and it certainly shows in the shot he controls level design and immature humor.

Duke may want to kick some ass and chew some gum, but after this, how can he?

When the whole world is laughing at him in the mood for more awesome gaming content?
