Release Date: April 2021
As described by the developers, Battle Axe is an action-packed, very gory, traditional Arcade adventure. Battle Axe boasts beautifully high-quality pixel art along with top-down hack and slash combat. The visuals are incredibly impressive and capture the 80s/90s D&D themed adventure games’ exact style and transport them into a modern performing franchise. Players can play as three different character classes all with their own methods and tactics for clearing rooms of classic fantasy monsters. The sprites look great, the maps look classic, and the character design transports me right back to Capcom’s D&D beat-em-ups.
