Golden Axe

Game Mechanics

It is possible to choose between three characters:

• Ax Battlera warrior armed with a two-handed sword, controlling the magic of the earth,
• Tyris Flare: an amazon equipped with a sword, controlling the magic of fire,
• Gilius Thunderhead: a dwarf handling an axe, controlling the magic of lightning.

The progress is made from left to right, the players in front of a path among the sbires of Death Adder. Progress is impossible until all enemies have been defeated. To defeat them, the player has an arsenal of quite varied shots: basic weapon combos, caps, jumped shots...

It is possible to seize two types of imaginary frames (dragons or cocatrix) that some enemies overlap, which can carry out more powerful attacks than normal blows. The dragons are of two races: the blues, which spit a column of flames, and the reds, which spit a ball of fire with unlimited scope. The cocatrix can attack by turning on themselves quickly, which allows them to hit the opponent of their tail, or by swept on the opponent to dry it off.

Each character can also use a spell that can hit all the enemies on the screen. For this, it is necessary to pick up in the course of part of the magic potion fibers whose number affects the power of the spell. Stoves are obtained by striking small creatures with very rapid displacement. Those who are dressed in blue give me a bunch of pots. Others, but dressed in green, give gigots, which allow to reconstitute the vital energy of the character.

Both levels are bosses: one or more enemies more powerful and more resistant than others. The player must also face traditional enemies at the same time.

• Tyris Flare has more levels of magic than its two acolytes, it can recover eight levels of magic potion. The most powerful makes a dragon come out, it is the most powerful fate of the game.
• Gilius Thunderhead has the least levels of magic than its two acolytes, but is distinguished by its agility.
• Ax Battler stands out for its strength.
