Axecutioners

Axecutioners is a 2D fighting game where you play as one of the king’s executioners, forced to fight for your life to entertain the king, the kingdom and a local necromancer. In a kingdom dying of boredom, the king first sent prisoners into the colosseum. When the kingdom ran short of prisoners, his loyal executioners became the fighters instead. A necromancer ensures the fights never end, bringing the dead back to battle again.

Axe combat

You use low, mid and high attacks in rock-paper-scissors-style combat. Your large axes make attacks powerful but slow, so you need to choose each strike carefully or your opponent may win the audience’s favor.

The crown

At the start of each round, you can pick up the crown to empower your attacks. It does not increase their damage, but if you land the killing blow while empowered, you can cleave your opponent in half.
