Item Description
Golden Axe Warrior took Sega's hack-and-slash fantasy series somewhere nobody expected. Instead of a side-scrolling brawler, this 1991 Master System game is a sprawling top-down adventure in the mold of The Legend of Zelda, with an overworld of more than 200 screens, nine labyrinths to conquer and secrets waiting behind trees and boulders. It is the closest thing the Master System has to Hyrule, and it has earned a devoted following among the console's fans.
The story ties straight into Golden Axe lore. The tyrant Death Adder has bought the nine magic crystals of Firewood from a treacherous minister and used them to conquer Firewood, Altorulia and Nendoria. A young hero from Miliver sets out to avenge his parents, recover the crystals and claim the Golden Axe, the one weapon that can bring Death Adder down. Fans of the arcade games will spot the connective tissue throughout, from the magic pots that fuel your spells to a familiar name, Tyris, woven into the tale.
Exploration is the heart of it. You trek through deep forests and sail across stormy seas, chop down trees with your battle axe and clear rocks with magic to uncover hidden caves, and spend the horns collected from fallen enemies on gear in town. Weapons and armor upgrade as you go, each labyrinth is guarded by puzzles and a boss, and gathering all nine crystals opens a tenth and final labyrinth. It is the kind of game that rewards a notepad by the couch and a willingness to poke at every suspicious tree.
Reception was split at the time. GamePro gave it a perfect score while some UK magazines found it tedious, and critics have always noted how closely it follows Zelda's blueprint. Today that resemblance is part of the charm: this is Sega's own answer to Nintendo's adventure, built late in the Master System's life by designers Gen Adachi and Takako Kawaguchi with music by Chikako Kamatani. Sega later tucked it into Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection as an unlockable, but the Master System cartridge is where it all began.

About the game
World peace is at stake! Death Adder, a wicked giant, has stolen the nine crystals from the kingdom of Firewood and has hidden them in nine labyrinths that he has created. These nine magic crystals protected the people from evil – especially from Death Adder's grasp. But now that the crystals are lost, the world is defenseless! Someone must put an end to the fiend's realm of darkness, death and destruction! Do you have what it takes to bring back peace and happiness? Trek through deep, dark forests and sail across vast, stormy seas. Chop down trees with your Battle Axe and move rocks with your magic spells to find secret caves. When you take on Death Adder's gruesome monsters, think only of winning – or else you won't find the nine crystals. And when you do, you'll find the Golden Axe – the only weapon that can crush Death Adder!
