Practical FAQ
Do I need to know the Golden Axe arcade story?
Not at all. The game tells its own original story in the same fantasy world, acting as a perfect standalone entry point or a bonus adventure for established fans.
Can I save my progress in the game?
Yes. Although cart-dependent, your progress with collected items, weapons, and spells was persistent through playing, meaning you need to complete the main quest in multiple sessions as intended, as passwords and battery-saves weren't available in this title.
What are the mounts in the game?
Similar to enemy-stealing beasts in the arcade games, you can ride the classic green Dragon. It moves faster on the overworld screen and can also spit fire at enemies.
