GOLDEN AXE
In Turtle Village, the invaders are ugly, brutal and 12 feet tall. They roar with laughter as they pound you into the dirt. Swing Axe Battler's mighty sword and shatter them with Mushroom Magic. Smash and blast with Tyris Flare's Curtains of Fire. Somersault and strike with Gilius Thunderhead's axe or scorch the brutes with lightning!
It's a spellbinding age of magic, fiery dragons and skeletons in armor. Battle the invaders on the back of a giant turtle. Fight on the feathered wings of a soaring eagle. Conquer and ride flame-spewing monsters to victory!
Rescue the kidnapped King and Princess to return peace to the world. The score is Death Adder, thousands -- you, zero. Grab your weapon and change the score!
Golden Axe is a single-player or cooperative multiplayer side-scrolling beat-'em-up game.
The story takes place in the medieval land of Yuria, which has fallen under the control of the warlord Death Adder. He has kidnapped the king and princess, seized the legendary Golden Axe, and threatens to destroy them unless his rule is accepted. Three warriors, each with their own personal vendetta, set out to defeat Death Adder and free the kingdom: Ax Battler, a barbarian whose mother was slain, Tyris Flare, an amazon avenging the murder of her family, and Gilius Thunderhead, a dwarf seeking retribution for his brother. The heroes travel across villages, wilderness, and fortresses on a journey toward Death Adder's castle.
Gameplay unfolds as players move horizontally through side-view stages, defeating waves of enemies with melee combat. Each character wields a different weapon and fighting style: Ax Battler uses a broad sword with balanced reach, Tyris Flare carries a long sword with fast slashes, and Gilius Thunderhead swings a short-handled axe with wide strikes. Players can attack, jump, or perform a running charge, and enemies often appear in groups, requiring careful positioning and crowd control.
In addition to standard attacks, each character commands unique magical powers fueled by potions. Potions are obtained by striking small blue thieves that appear between or during stages. Magic grows stronger as more potions are collected: Ax Battler conjures earth-based spells, Gilius Thunderhead unleashes lightning, and Tyris Flare calls upon fire, with her spells being the most powerful at full charge. Magic is limited, however, and must be used strategically.
Mounted combat is another feature. Certain enemies ride beasts such as fire-breathing dragons or tail-whipping creatures. Defeating their riders allows players to mount the creatures themselves, adding temporary advantages in range and power. Food items, dropped by green thieves, restore health, and lives are limited, requiring players to balance aggression with caution.
Levels are structured as linear stages connected by brief campfire scenes that provide opportunities to collect potions or food. Cooperative play allows two players to fight together, with friendly fire enabled, meaning positioning and timing become even more important.
Different versions of the game introduced variations. The arcade original supported two players, while the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive version included an exclusive extra stage and a duel mode where players fight waves of enemies in an arena. The Master System and other home ports adapted levels and graphics to suit hardware limitations, sometimes altering or omitting features. Later digital re-releases, such as Golden Axe Classic, preserved the arcade gameplay while adding conveniences like save states or screen options.
