Numskull Games has announced that we will be publishing Battle Axe, a pixel-art arcade adventure game, for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Mac, and Linux!
Currently live on crowdfunding site Kickstarter, having smashed its ยฃ40,000 goal with still a week to go, Battle Axe immediately grabbed our attention with its gorgeous pixel artwork and high-octane top-down action.
Given its recent funding success, Numskull Games is excited to join the team to bring this project to an even wider audience of retro gamers and hack โn slash lovers alike.
โNumskull Games brought a real passion to the table when they saw our plans for Battle Axe, with the team there personally invested in this sort of classic-style gameโ, commented lead designer Henk Nieborg. โWe recognised they were the right publishing partner to put Battle Axe in peopleโs hands and weโre especially excited with the opportunity to see our games at retail.โ
