Many gamers of the older generation will certainly still be familiar with the cult game series “Golden Ax”. Fans can be happy: Golden Ax will receive a sequel – as an animated series.
The first part of Golden Axe was published by Sega in 1989 and the entire series belongs to the beat-em-up genre. In Part 1, players had to fight their way through various levels in the land of Yuria and rescue a kidnapped princess. Zelda sends greetings!

In the three subsequent parts, the players even had several ways to complete the game and bring the evil Death Adder to his knees. Of course, this is nothing special today, but in the early 90s this mechanic was a real innovation.

Cult classic Golden Ax – a legend among indexed games
Due to its brutality, Part 1 of the Golden Ax series was banned from the BPjS index immediately after its release in 1989, which the game was only allowed to leave again in 2006 as part of the release of the Sega Mega Drive Collection for the PS2.
The sequel “Golden Axe: Beast Rider,” which was released in 2007 for the PS3, also landed directly on the platform index.
