It’s been a long time since the proper days of titles like Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Gauntlet Legends, but these are still games that remain fond memories among many of us who played them. Today’s episode of Indie-licious is a welcome throwback to that style of game as we take on fantasy-fiction monster slaying arcade adventure in Battle Axe.
Battle Axe comes to us from developer Bitmap Bureau and publisher Numskull Games. Having launched on April 29, 2021, the game is available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles, as well as PC via Steam. Inspired by the top-down arcade brawlers of the 1990s, such as Guantlet Legends, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and Herc’s Adventure, Battle Axe puts you in the role of one of three heroes as you fight back the evil sorceress Etheldred and her vast dark armies. Treasure and adventure awaits for the mighty, but defeat and death lies ahead of the unprepared.

Nostalgia is all the rage these days, especially when it comes to video games of yesteryear. Sometimes that means resurrecting old properties for a brand new generation. The concept of resurrection is especially on point in this case, as Lucasfilm Games and Dotemu announced they will release the classic game
Zombies Ate My Neighbors and its sequel on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC this year.
LucasArts’ and Konami’s
Zombies Ate My Neighbors first came out in 1993. It follows Zeke and Julie as they attempt to save their hometown from the undead, along with various other spooky creatures. The game is a hotbed of horror movie references and got quite violent at times, too. (Europe and Australia censored the grisliest parts of the game.) Though not a huge commercial success,
