Quick answers

Is Battle Axe co-op?
Yes, Battle Axe supports co-op.
Does Battle Axe have PvP?
Steam does not list PvP for Battle Axe.
Do we both need to own Battle Axe to play together?
Not always. Battle Axe supports Steam Remote Play Together: one person who owns it hosts and streams a local session to friends who don't (Steam quotes up to four players, more on a fast connection). For online co-op or PvP, every player needs their own copy.
How many people play Battle Axe?
Player counts were not available when this page was built.
Does Battle Axe have split-screen or local multiplayer?
Yes. Steam lists Battle Axe with shared/split-screen co-op on one PC — and it supports Remote Play Together, so a friend can join that local session over the internet.
