Battle Axe Special Edition for PS5

Battle Axe is making its triumphant return to the gaming world, this time landing on the PlayStation 5 with an exclusive Special Edition. This Special Edition includes the Battle Axe Official Soundtrack along with the game itself.

The game, created by veteran pixel artist Henk Nieborg, is a top-down hack and slash adventure that pays homage to the classic games of the 80s and 90s. Battle Axe boasts stunning visuals, true-to-form gameplay mechanics, and features music from the legendary VGM composer Manami Matsumae - a true treat for retro gamers.

The story takes place in the land of Mercia, which has long been under the oppressive rule of "Etheldred", a despotic sorceress who resides in an impenetrable tower in the icy wastelands to the north. Every seven years, she sends her armies south to capture inhabitants from each township, who are never heard from again, subjected to a life of slavery.

In response, a call is sent out to champions across the land, urging them to end her tyrannical rule. An elf, a wizard, and a marauder answer the call, joining forces to defeat Etheldred and bring peace to the land once and for all.

The game offers a delightful experience for pixel art enthusiasts, with beautifully designed characters and environments in every frame. It provides a familiar yet revitalized hack and slash adventure, thanks to new gameplay elements, improved controls, and pixel perfect animations.

Players can also enjoy a timeless melody with the superb soundtrack by composer Manami Matsumae. They have the option to choose from three highly-detailed heroes to embark on the quest, playing alone or with a friend in local co-op.

Inspired by classics like Gauntlet and Golden Axe, Battle Axe promises an exhilarating journey for fans of the genre. With its captivating story, stunning visuals, and nostalgic appeal, this Special Edition on PlayStation 5 is a must-have for lovers of adventure games.
