About Axiom Verge

This is the action-adventure you’ve been waiting decades for. After a lab accident, a scientist awakens in a mysterious, alien world. Is this a distant planet? The far future? Or a complex virtual-reality computer simulation? Plumb the recesses of a large, labyrinthine world in order to learn its secrets and uncover your role within it. Discover tons of weapons, items, and abilities, each with their own unique behaviors and usage. You’ll need your wits to find them all. Combat bizarre biomechanoid constructs, the deadly fallout of an ancient war, and the demons of your own psyche. And finally, break the game itself by using glitches to corrupt foes and solve puzzles in the environment. Life. Afterlife. Real. Virtual. Dream. Nightmare. It's a thin line. It's Axiom Verge.

RetroPilot_tv 4.0/5

A great Metroidvania game

A great Metroidvania game. Fun to play and lots of hidden locations and items. Bosses are not difficult in normal mode. However if doing hard mode and low % items at the same time , the last three boss could be quite a challenge. Normally I play platformer with joystick. This game taught me D-pad could be better. Double tap direction key is just something I cannot perform reliably with a stick. Performs perfectly on deck. The game draw very little battery so could last very long time on deck. Achievements are reasonable. I got all in three runs. First run about 25 hours in normal for 100% maps and items. Second run hard + low items % which is not recommended. It’s just unnecessarily difficult. Last one speed run normal within 2 hours.

Very solid metroid style game

Very solid metroid style game. You could talk about the fact that one single person made it, but honestly it's good by any standard. Solid mechanically, stylistically beautiful, interesting storyline, challenging without being cheap or frustrating. Worth playing for any fan of retro gaming or side scrollers.
