80's-fashioned fantasy beat ‘em up about slaying orcs and scantily-clad men, casting spells, smashing blue gnomes to steal their delicious mana tonics and destroy an anabolic dark lord who had kidnapped a king and his daughter for the evulz. This is Golden Axe.
PROS
⭐Great chiptune music.
⭐Overflowing high fantasy. Golden Axe levels evoked the stylings of 80's fantasy classics like Conan the Barbarian or Fire and Ice but with more high fantasy fuel. A town built on the back of a turtle, a giant eagle that transports us on its back with skeletons hidden among its feathers. You get the idea.
⭐We can ride on fantastic creatures for more comfortable killing. That includes Chicken Leg, a weird monster from Altered Beast.
CONS
⚠️Really short. The map is minuscule.
⚠️Controls can feel orthopedic and outdated.
