That elf looks hot! I'm going to choose her in my first playthrough :-)

Breja: Right after Blizzard gets sued by Wizards of the Coast. And then Games Workshop.
None of them invented the concept of "dark elves" either.

As for the game: looks like it could have been quite good if it had decent graphics, instead of ugly & blurry ones. Not sure why "pixel art" is used an an excuse to spin-doctor blurry & ugly graphics as if they are a great thing.

Yeah, but I don't think the vikings can sue anyone anymore. I'm pretty sure both Eddas and all that stuff is in the public domain now :D
Online co-op would have been nice. Maybe you can have AI companions?
This looks like a forgotten GBA game for some reason.
@Devs, GoG:
Is it possible to replace (unused, of course) kickstarter's Steam code with GoG's?
This has a real Dark Seal vibe to it. Wishlisted.
Not sure why, but the presentation reminded me of beyond oasis. Looks interesting.

I don't think vikings, being literally raiders, were in the mood for suing. They had more important things to do, such as burning down monasteries.

gog2002x: Hmm, Golden Axe had a pc version didn't it?

WinterSnowfall: Yes, sure did. It was one of the DOS games I played extensively in my youth.
Now I'm pretty sure I played it, just wanted to make sure it wasn't a trick of my mind lol. Memories are kind of funny sometimes.

Now this is a proper pixel art! This game actually look amazing and arcadey af! This is the remedy after the crappy stacked pixel artwork from previous GOG promoted game.

Wait, only limited continues? Even arcades accept a ton of coins! This is ass backward.
Loving the look of this, and it definitely nails that arcade feeling.
This looks pretty really cool!
