![]() Story-wise, Maximus is nothing new – save the girl, blah blah blah, though it is told in such an immensely humorous, self deprecating way, the actual story arc need not even matter. ![]() But after several mere seconds with Maximus in my hot, sweaty little hands, I knew I was onto something oh, so good. I will admit that I was put off by the visual style when I first glanced at the screenies and will also admit, ashamedly, that I wasn’t particularly fond of Castle Crashers. Maximus (Free) is one of these games, only it gets it very, very right. Unfortunately, most of those attempts have been (or at least attempted to be) comedic and visually childish in nature, aiming for a cutesy Cartoon Network-like style instead of the dark and eerie visuals of the classics such as Golden Axe. Hack’n slash beat’em ups aren’t exactly a new thing on any platform, and since the arrival (and success) of Castle Crashers many have tried and many have failed to recapture the essence of the genre.
