What do you guys think about this idea? Golden Axe modern remake idea
Would a modern remake Golden Axe be cool? Who owns it? It’s got almost everything a modern remake needs: a recognizable name, simple core gameplay, cool fantasy worldbuilding, and enough room to expand without losing what made it fun. A modern remake could go full cinematic co-op action — kind of halfway between God of War and Streets of Rage 4 — with bigger bosses, destructible environments, mount combat that actually feels good, and deeper character progression for Axe Battler, Tyris Flare, and Gilius. of Like a 3D Action game version in 3rd person. P.S. i can't make games i'm just curious. Combat style:
A mix of
- God of War for weighty melee combat
- Devil May Cry 5 for flashy combo expression
- Dragon's Dogma 2 for monster climbing and large-scale creature fights
You’d want each character to feel completely different:
Axe Battler
Heavy brutal greatsword combat. Slower, devastating finishers, parries, armor-breaking attacks.
Tyris Flare
Fast dual-blade or whip-sword style, evasive movement, fire magic combos.
Gilius Thunderhead
Tank archetype. Big axe, earth/lightning abilities, crowd control.
And if they expanded the roster?
Playable unlockables could be amazing.
- Death Adder lieutenant as a brutal antihero
- Dragonkin warrior
- Dark mage
The mount system has to be huge
This is where a remake could stand out.
The classic rideable beasts become actual combat systems:
- Charge attacks
- Aerial traversal
- Mounted boss encounters
- Mid-battle dismount combo finishers
Imagine fighting a giant hydra while riding a fire-breathing dragon.
