Although it closely follows the Metroidvania blueprint, this game adds enough new and original features to make it a truly great game in its own right. An absolute must for retro fans.

Borrows heavily from classic games like Metroid... and also faithfully recreates the gameplay elements found in them.

Offers a solid gaming experience that you won't regret partaking in. Although it may not look or sound spectacular, the vast game world, massive collection of weaponry and special abilities and intense old-school challenge will surely reward you for your patience and skills.

Old school merely in looks, Axiom Verge is the definition of a great action and explorations game. The Metroidvania genre has rarely been done this well and this adventure deserves to be held up there among the greats like Symphony of the Night and the original Metroid.
