How it feels

A faithful, fast-paced beat-'em-up remake that feels like classic arcade hack-and-slash action with a few modern conveniences.

About

This game is a remake of the original 1989 arcade release of Golden Axe, presented entirely in 3D. It is mostly the same game as before, but now features cutscenes, magic which regenerates slightly after an enemy is killed, and enemies now have life bars. It also has an arranged soundtrack.
