About
For generations, the people of Mercia have suffered under the rule of the dark sorceress Etheldred. Every seven years, her armies sweep across the land to abduct the innocent, never to be seen again. Now, the call for heroes has gone out one last time.
Battle Axe is a top-down hack and slash adventure inspired by the golden age of arcade games. Featuring detailed pixel art by industry veteran Henk Nieborg and a rousing soundtrack from Manami Matsumae, this is a true tribute to classic gaming.
Pick from three fearless heroes, each with unique abilities and weapons.
Fae the swift elven warrior fights with twin blades and throwing daggers
Iolo the bearded druid lashes enemies and casts deadly fireballs
Rooney the marauder crushes foes up close or fires cannonballs from afar
Fight your way through hordes of monsters and take down powerful bosses to reach Etheldred's stronghold in the North.
Attack in eight directions with a mix of melee strikes and ranged projectiles. Collect gold, find powerful scrolls and potions, and visit the mysterious merchant Ælfwyn to upgrade your gear between battles.
This is where you come in, brave champion…help us save the kingdom of Mercia!
Fast-paced hack and slash gameplay with a retro arcade feel
Single-player and local co-op for heroic team play
Gorgeous handcrafted pixel art across four unique regions
Soundtrack by legendary composer Manami Matsumae

A top-down gauntlet clone. Its a lot of fun.
I ♥♥♥♥ hard with the look and feel of this game but I do think it could benefit from a more zoomed out camera and slight control adjustment.
Prosta dynamiczna platformówka. Plus za grafikę i efekty. Minus za brak zapisu stanu gry. Bosowie ciekawi. 6/10.

Not even worth on sale. All flash, no substance. Boring gameplay, constantly respawning enemies and terrible level design.
Jogo hack em slash bem divertido e não é muito longo. Perfeito para jogar em uma tarde. Recomendo
Ce n'est pas à proprement parlé un mauvais jeu. Bitmap Bureau sait y faire avec ce style 16 bits fantasmé, le gameplay et la bande son ne sont pas en reste. Alors ? L'engagement. Ce jeu ne demande pas assez d'engagement. Les différents stages ne sont que des skins d'un même niveau. Les ennemis manquent de variété et la difficulté va jouer sur le nombre. En traversant les niveaux, une sensation étrange s'installe. Il se passe des choses à l'écran, mais ce n'est pas suffisant pour accaparer notre attention. Nos pensées se dispersent, notre attention diminue, mince, je viens de perdre une vie et puis rien... même pas l'envie d'en relancer une petite. Ce n'est pas le titre de Bitmap Bureau qui restera dans les annales.
A top-down hack & slash game from the makers of Final Vendetta! It looks gorgeous and plays fantastic. Its also quite challenging, but very doable, once you know what to expect. There are 3 characters to choose from, and they all feel very different. The game has 4 stages, with an average run time of 30min. It has no continues or save system, as its meant to played over and over, from start to finish. So I do not mind the short run time. Though it would have been great if there were a few more stages, with branching paths, so each run is still 4 stages in total. Like how Treasure's Guardian Heroes did it.

jogo bem feito e com boa jogabilidade porém curto (e podia também ter um modo história).
