Axe Cop

I loved reading axe cop back in the day and now i can play it as an RPG. Some cool things: You start running when you hold down a direction key and it feels awesome, sure beats walking. You start hopping over platforms when you start running. That's awesome too Some not cool things: I either haven't found it or there's no place to fully heal your party. You have to buy healing items. Good news is there's an abundance of these and i have yet to run out... But i guess it's because Axe cop never sleeps? IDK I'm liking it so far and if you like the comics and RPGs with your favorite characters, get this.

[b]The Good:[/b] As someone with no previous familiarity with the Axe Cop franchise, this game immediately grabbed me. Wacky characters and plot points are introduced with no warning, but it does it in a way that feels consistent with the rules of this whimsical universe, and by the end it goes to great lengths to connect all the dots. The faux-retro graphics are another reason I even looked at this game. The color palette most closely resembles that of the Game Boy Color, but the screen is wider, more colors are displayed at once, and sprites are larger and more animated. I assume the style is faithful to the webcomic and animated series, and it does look great. The turnbased combat system has several distinct characteristics that deserve thorough analysis. Enemy encounters aren't started at random, rather enemy sprites will spawn in and wander about and battle will only start if you make contact with them. Combat is turnbased, but far from generic. There's not a traditional Defend c...

When the story is taken with the understanding that an older brother is drawing and interpreting his younger brother's imagination, this game becomes utterly hilarious! Great game and the humor of one of the Babylon Bee staff is really shown through in this!

Don't be fooled by the low price and 8-bit graphics into thinking this is a short, low-effort hack job; this game is an absolute GEM that has heart and soul poured into every facet of it, and it's patently obvious once you play it. Basically, most of this game is a RPG similar to that of Dragon Quest titles, but there's several differences that really make it better overall. Each character has their own unique ability that can help unlock new areas of the various dungeons to you, in a manner similar to the LEGO games. When you level up, you pick which stat of your character to level up, not the game. Special moves are unlocked when certain stats reach certain levels, and the game will usually tell you what those levels are. The game is incredibly well-balanced; my main issue with a lot of RPGs is that much of the game will be fair but then bosses will be ridiculously difficult, but that is not the case here if you are reasonably prepared. Sure, there's been some uber-difficult content ...

5/10 really needs voice acting, even if it is just for special moves and like 3 scenes also all the steam achievements are broken...

As far as licensed games go, Axe Cop is a clear example of a licensed game that fully grasps the spirit of the property it's adapting. What at first seems like a beat-for-beat retelling of the Axe Cop webcomics and printed books unravels into a game-original story which always stays true to the tone of the original works by the Nicolle brothers. For fans of the Axe Cop series, there are dozens upon dozens of familiar characters to interact with. Characters from every era of the comic are featured in the game; 10 as permanent party members, over 30 as boss battles and many more still as interactive NPCs with unique dialogue portraits modeled after the comics. The gameplay takes the form of turn-based JRPG combat, with free selection of party configuration and level-up growths making playthroughs of the game very customizable. The highlights are the many boss battles found within the stages and in the arenas. I'd heartily recommend this game to fans of the Axe Cop franchise and people...

Retro fun, with lemon! If you're an Axe Cop fan (or at the very least not a bad guy) I'm sure you'll love reliving his insane exploits by playing them yourself.

Sadly I haven't had the pleasure of reading the Axe Cop comics. But I'm a huge fan of retro styled games. Thanks to the engine of OHRRPGCE, this game looks like it would fit right into the library of the Nintendo Entertainment System and it has such a great sense of humor, for all ages. If I had to pick only one thing that Axe Cop does really well, it would be that it doesn't slow the game down with walls and walls of text. I noticed in alot of turnbased RPGs, they are usually really heavy on the dialogue. I understand these games are ment to be story driven, but there is such thing as too much dialogue, not enough gameplay. At that point, you may as well just read a book. There's been alot of thought, love and care put into this project and it really shows. The game is quite a good challenge and I highly recommend it if you are a fan of turnbased RPGs or retro games.

Very fun and good. If you like oldey-time JRPG games, this is like those, but hilarious.

Very well made game using the O.H.RPG.C.E. ( : It has the nes vibe, music is on point, lots of cut scenes and mini games throughout so far. Not a huge fan of the rpg battles given the source but it works. Haven't finished it yet, there is quite a lot of content, with more added in post-launch updates. Lead developer is a cool guy, and definitely a fan of the comic. There is a lot of heart and thought put into this, maybe to its detriment as it does appear to stick very close to the source material and to a hard nes-like format. For example, if you ever forget the setup that this is from the mind/logic of a little kid brother, it can seem so bizarre in the twists and turns and character designs--but that's the charm. AXE COP!!
