Axe Cop

Axe Cop is a retro RPG based on the comic by brothers Malachai and Ethan Nicolle. You play as Axe Cop and his team of heroes, taking on missions against enemies including Bad Santa Claus, Dr. Stinkyhead and Dr. Doo doo.

Story and locations

After Axe Cop finds his axe at the scene of a fire, he meets Flute Cop and begins his career as a hero. The team discovers a machine that can turn any bad guy into a good guy, and sets out to find the three magic gems needed to power it. Their enemies are teaming up to stop them, and the journey takes the heroes to places from the comics, including a volcano full of dinosaurs, the inside of a giant monster and London.

The game draws on every comic the Nicolle brothers published together, with material appearing in main missions and side content. It also includes comic characters such as El Fuego, a wrestler turned into a potato.

Combat and abilities

Combat uses a traditional turn-based system. Characters learn moves and become stronger based on the stat decisions you make each time they level up.

Each hero has a distinct ability to use in the field. Axe Cop chops and breaks most cracked items, Flute Cop interacts with magic statues, and Sockarang uses a remote-control sock boomerang. These abilities give the characters different ways to interact with each level.
