I won’t say any more about the story since it’s best to experience it for oneself. He wakes up in a foreign and colorful world where a disembodied voice urges him to grab the weapon in the next room. You play as Trace, a scientist whose lab exploded after he finished an experiment. This rapid-fire switching of gameplay elements really suited me. I adored the moment-to-moment gameplay of exploring different rooms and paths while jumping and shooting at new enemies which were around every corner. I was unsure at first about playing a Metroidvania game but, having now finished Axiom Verge, I have to say that it was right up my alley. I therefore decided to give Axiom Verge a try because it was an indie game and voila here we are today. I had heard of it mostly because it had been developed solely by one man named Thomas Happ which is quite a feat. That’s a simplistic explanation of the genre but I think it will do for now.Īxiom Verge came out in 2015 and although I was aware of it at the time, I really didn’t pay too much attention to it since I wasn’t into Metroidvania games. In order to proceed, you must explore the map and find an item or unlock a new ability to open up new pathways to explore. This exploration is usually done in a nonlinear fashion with certain points in the map blocked off. The game I decided to start my Metroidvania journey with was Axiom Verge.Ī Metroidvania game, for those who don’t know, is a type of game which features a large and often sprawling map which encourages exploration. The only Metroidvania type of game I’ve ever played is Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and, seeing as that game is in 3D, I figured I had better try out a game of the 2D variety. I was in the mood for something different the other day and so I decided to try out a game in the Metroidvania genre. I couldn’t think of anything clever to write for the subhead so just pretend something witty is written here.
