The Great Axe

The Great Axe is a medieval fantasy beat ’em up in which you fight to save the kingdom of Aldran. You play an unnamed warrior whose fate is tied to a legendary axe, and face hordes of enemies in close combat.

The kingdom of Aldran

Aldran once prospered under King Edric the Lightbringer, but the king has fallen and the castles lie in ruins. Lord Veyron, exiled for his dark deeds, has returned from the Forbidden Lands with an army of monsters and traitors, bringing the kingdom to the edge of despair. A prophecy says that a chosen warrior guided by an ancient force can bring light back to the land.

Combat and the axe

Enemies are faster and more aggressive, so you must fight carefully. Your ultimate ability turns your hero into a storm of steel that cuts down everything in its path, but its strength takes time to recover. In difficult moments, you can call on Sparrow, a legendary axe forged by elven craftsmen and tempered in dragon blood. The ancient weapon has a will of its own and helps you crush enemies.

The game features an easy-to-learn combat system, dynamic fights against hordes of enemies and a medieval atmosphere shaped by sword clashes, battle cries and gloomy music.
