Golden Axe Myth
OpenBOR · 2019
Developed by a small team of fans from Argentina, Golden Axe Myth is a fan-made prequel, and this is the only one to feature totally original art. In addition to the usual three heroes from the arcade game, you can also play as Death Adder, before his transformation. He is slow, wields a huge mace, and casts dark magic.
There are brief story scenes, branching paths, bonus unlockable characters and hidden areas. In addition to magic jars, you can also obtain symbols to increase your strength or defense, and money to purchase items in the few areas that have shops. The mechanics have been expanded to allow vertical rolls, blocking, and additional special movies. After beating up enough enemies, you can also activate "Rage Mode", which increases your damage.
