Released for the Sega Master System, Golden Axe is a beat 'em up developed by SEGA.
It is part of the Golden Axe series; on the Master System you can also try Golden Axe Warrior. The series also appears on other systems with Golden Axe (Genesis) and Golden Axe III (Genesis). SEGA also made Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Phantasy Star and Hang-On for the Master System.
Golden Axe is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
- you've played the Master System hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want depth and variety over simple, satisfying brawling
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Golden Axe is like
Beat 'em ups send you down scrolling streets fighting waves of thugs with punches, kicks, throws and grabbed weapons. Most can be finished in a single sitting and shine with a second player.
Tip for newcomers: Avoid getting surrounded: keep enemies on one side of you and save your special attacks for crowds. Bring a friend if the game supports co-op.
