Play Overview
Axiom Verge 2 (2015) is the latest in a series of running, jumping and fighting games where you play as Trace, a scientist who wakes up in an unknown ancient world. It's similar to retro games like Metroid and Contra where you explore levels, collect items and progress your character. As you defeat enemies and bosses you earn new abilities and upgrade your arsenal. It's unusual because of the flexible way you can use your powers to solve puzzles and defeat enemies to progress.
It has an intricate level design with different biomes to explore. Some areas are blocked and can only be accessed with the required ability -- smashing through a banner for example. There are over 60 items and power-ups to discover, each with particular uses for different battles.
Axiom Verge poses a considerable challenge. Boss battles, swarms of enemies or obstacles can take time and effort to progress. However, this adds to the satisfaction when you beat a level you've been stuck on for a long time. The well-written story helps pull you through with believable characters and hostile environments.
