Golden Axe (Review)

www.odrakir.com

Somewhere Far Beyond, earthling realms bled searing In Flames. A land in need of heroic deeds. Long ago, an ancient lore foretold of adventurous three: a man, a woman, and dwarf. The spirit of Golden Axe will bind them to seek a Power Slave, whose name no innocent may dare to speak.

His vile army differs in rank as it stands uprooted in human lands. Violent creatures bring pain while feasting on human entrails. Heeding the call, the warriors come with thunderous speed, wielding swords, axes and magic of the archaic variety. Double-team attacking force makes mincemeat of the Lords of Misery. Pushing the scum back by sheer dashing shoulder attacks, sword taps and dragon riding mastery. 

Crossing the South Sea, a tortoise guardian grants passage to mountainous regions where gigantic eagles fly free. The mountain guarded by skeletons of past society falls with a swift kick. Riding the mystical birds, the warriors look upon their lands as if for the last time. Death Adder’s Fortress fast approaching, draining their courage. Inside their hearts, turmoil and Armageddon and fear of melancholy by defeat.

Pushing through the blasphemous constructs of ancient stone, the valiant heroes scarred and bruised carved their way to the Lair of Lord Adder: The Judas Priest. Hearts Screaming For Vengeance, muscles still ripped from stripping flesh and bone. In unison these Manowar hum the song of the brave ones whose spirits they siphoned through use of magi.

Together they bringing a swift end to the wicked one and his Symphony of Agony. The hedonistic bastard’s head shall be severed and placed upon the altar of Ar’azzul. A reminder to all living creatures that they must stray away from heinous deeds.
