As a long-time fan of Golden Axe since I first played the game in the arcades, I adore this module! It does indeed capture the look and feel of the classic arcade game and does it with style too. It changes some names and things, but keeps everything I loved about the old game intact, at least for the most part. It's just cool, and that's all a Golden Axe game needs to be in order to be perfect. :D
This is how you make a linear hack n slash to burn a couple hours; it's simple and fun.
I played as Sorchia Flameblade (Tyris Flare?), a rogue with UMD for scroll-casting. Her blade & armor is pretty awesome, and she has the Boots of Speed (here's a pic). This module can be tough in places, but I guess I'll try the next one now...
Ha, if someone could integrate original music from Golden Axe this would be an ideal remake :) In the meantime I feel like having the soundtrack from youtube in the background :) 9/10 if you play it due to nostalgia as I did, with soundtrack playing out loud :). Otherwise, just a simple hacknslash.
I agree with Lilura: this is how you make a linear hack n slash. It is simple and fun!
I played a 13th level Rogue and with 1.69 and CEP 2.4. I did not experience any bugs in this very short module. Even though its linear and short it does have a couple of unique things about it.
It is a fun, linear module you can burn 45 minutes on.
I give this one an 7.
It's a funny module, but it lacks some important details of the game, the music of the golden ax (although youtube helps in that)^^ Don´t have dragons, for the rest is a reasonable attempt to emulate the golden axe. My rate 05/10
