About Orcen Axe

You really don't like wizards. Yet one of them decided to bring you back to life through necromancy so you will do their bidding. That's really not your thing! Your loved one is likely still waiting for you, after all. Time to ditch this wizard and go home!

However...

Something's not quite right back home. Your partner is missing, the old king is a dragon now, and that wizard keeps pestering you. Nothing is as it was, and only you can do something about it. Good thing you've got this magical axe!

Orcen Axe is a 2d pixel metroidvania. As the orc Drak, you'll have to face a world that's not at all like you remember it. Use your magical axe in creative ways -- learn new attacks, wield elemental powers and dash high into the skies. This journey has a lot in store for you: Travel through the war-torn countryside, the cliffs at the end of the world, explore ruined cities, caverns and abandoned mines, and restore the kingdom to its former glory.

●Find and equip skill badges to make your journey easier

First half of the game is like a retro 16-bit platformer, but then suddenly it turns into super meat boy and here you are bounced hapazardly between bubbles and moving spikes, the whole level becomes a skiddy jumping competition that requires difficult manipulations and perfect tile landing, and if you fail you're sent back to the last checkpoint several screens back. If you were expecting that kind of hard and floaty precision-platformer, then it's great, but that's not how the game was publicized and not how neither the demo nor the first half played. Graphics and animations are stiff and old school, but that was not a problem in the case of a retro platformer. The change of genre is a problem.

Pretty straightforward platformer and collectathon, though very little in guides for wanting to get every gem. levels are short making them easy to go back to if you want to hunt gems or upgrades, story is simple, and surprised only 2 achievements. but for a game that's only $3.99 it's alright and worth it.

A simple yet good and fun game! Most of Origamihero games have a peculiar chill yet fun vibe, and this game is no exception. Fun plot, good action, lots of axe swinging in physics defying way, good amount of stuff to find without it all feeling in the way, and playing as tor orc is a good change. A fun time!

It's a fun challenging game with levels that have a great Metroidvania structure, it can be a bit annoying sometimes with the platforming, but it DOES NOT become a rage game after a while, just some fair challenging platforming, and the characters are funny and a bit absurd
