Neil79 · 13 Apr 2012 at 21:27

Axiom Verge promises to feature 8 hours of play time with over 60 items and powerups hidden throughout the world, over 20 upgradeable weapons, classic 2D graphics, a gripping sci-fi storyline and a pulsing sci-fi soundtrack.

Axiom Verge is planned for a 2013 release on PC and X360 and is meant for those who like the classic “Metroidvania” style action adventure. Axiom Verge takes its inspiration from greats such as Blaster Master, Bionic Commando, Rygar, Cave Story, and, of course, Metroid.

Has anyone played this?

It's on sale again on Steam and I would love something even half as good as Super Metroid...

I completed it with a friend a while back. It's really awesome

A little bit of a slow start but once it gets going it's very hard to put down.

Hmm thinking I may have needed to put more time into this one perhaps then.

I got my purchase refunded.

I was hoping for a Super Metroid clone but the game is NES Metroid really and I found it a little limited .

I put 90 mins in and just felt it would be yet another game that I would leave unplayed after an hour.

Might pick up again if it's in a decent sale perhaps...
