Battle Axe is an arcade hack & slash inspired by classic adventure games from the 80s and 90s. You can play either solo or with friends thanks to local co-op.

For as long as you can remember, your homeland of Mercia has been held in the tyrannical grip of "Ethheldred," a despotic sorceress who resides in a seemingly impenetrable tower in the remote icy wastes of the north. Every seven years, she sends her armies south to select the inhabitants of each town, to be subjected to a life of slavery, never to be heard from again.

A message is sent to champions across the land, asking them to end her reign. An elf, a wizard, and a raider take up the challenge. Join this band of heroes on their journey to banish evil from the land and defeat Etheldred once and for all.
