About This Game

In Axe & Bow Land, players assume the roles of brothers Axel and Bowie, warriors blessed by an ancestral prophecy and equipped with sacred weapons: a magical axe that freezes enemies and a divine bow. Set in a mythical Aztec era, the game tells the story of a once peaceful land now plagued by a strange, dark energy emerging from an ancient temple. Axel and Bowie are the only ones immune to this darkness' control, and together they embark on an adventure to restore peace and balance to their homeland.

The game unfolds across six unique worlds, each with five levels offering varied challenges, from vertically scrolling platform levels to intense boss battles and shoot 'em up style levels. Each world is meticulously designed in pixel art style, with a color palette inspired by the classic game Rainbow Islands, giving the game a nostalgic and appealing atmosphere.

As players progress through the game, they must confront enemies controlled by the malevolent entity, including manipulated Aztec warriors and animals. Axel, with his ability to immobilize enemies, facilitates access to new areas by using frozen enemies as platforms, while Bowie, in his own shoot 'em up levels, eliminates them with his divine bow. The game features multiple endings.

  • Two protagonists with unique abilities: Axel immobilizes his enemies, using them as platforms, while Bowie battles in shoot 'em up levels, taking down threats.

  • Six Aztec-themed worlds: From the jungle to Aztec temples, each world has five levels and features different enemies, puzzles, and final bosses.

  • Retro pixel art graphics: A colorful and nostalgic aesthetic with a resolution of 320x240 pixels, inspired by the classic Rainbow Islands.

  • Two difficulty levels to suit each player.

  • Level progression system: You don't need to complete the entire game in one playthrough if you don't want to.

  • Two different endings depending on the level of challenge achieved.

  • Immersive and culturally inspired narrative: The story is based on an Aztec prophecy and is told through introductory images and endings, creating a rich and profound experience.

  • Extensive soundtrack: The game features beautiful and catchy melodies that accompany each world, intensifying the atmosphere and gaming experience.
