Golden Axe Warrior is an RPG for the Sega Master System developed by Sega and released in 1991. It is a spin off in the Golden Axe series.

Death Adder, a powerful ruler, has kidnapped a special crystal guardian. He has taken the golden axe and the nine crystals. Your task isn't merely to retrieve the nine crystals, however. Your task is to try and learn as much magic as possible, destroy all of Death adder's minions, and access the final labyrinth containing Death Adder. Much like in any Phantasy Star RPG, you can save your game via certain buildings located at the start of the wilderness/labyrinth areas. You can buy shields, health, first aid kits, armour or pay someone to teach you magic. Money is earned when tasks are finished, or strong enemies are killed.

You are the Golden Axe character Ax Battler, and your default weapon is a short range sword, and the sword can increase in range. Golden axe warrior features top-down RPG gameplay, with labyrinths that must be passed to gain the crystals, towns with various buildings and shops, and wilderness areas, where punching, sword slashing or arrow throwing (much like in Gain Ground) enemies need to be defeated to proceed.

Golden Axe Warrior is available as an unlockable in Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection.
