In addition to that, there are the upgrades to health and weapon power, which come in the flavors of auto-upgrade and fragmented upgrade (collect x of these). You’ll also pick up an assortment of weapons that will help hit door switches that weren’t possible before, and are especially helpful with certain enemies/bosses. A whole game could be created based on just these two tools, and there are a slew of others to be collected. Doing so will not only change the pattern of that enemy, which may mean less projectiles or moving slower, but it also means it’ll destroy pieces of the environment that you may not have been able to destroy. Another tool you’ll grab deals in glitches – you know those flickering bits in the environment you saw twenty years ago? You can interact with those using this tool – not only that, but you can change enemies into something resembling the infamous Pokémon MissingNo. Some tools include a drill that will help you find secrets in walls or bypass a difficult area by scaling the inside of the wall – it also doubles as a close range weapon. However, they’ll help expand the story and make you more powerful. It is helpful to pay attention to where items you can’t reach are on the map, as the game doesn’t make a note of it for you, and there are plenty of collectibles that are not required to beat the game. Over the course of playing, you’ll pick up different weapons and tools that will help you progress past various blockades (puzzles or creatures). In regards to the gameplay, in case you’ve never played a game like this before, you can expect a lot of platforming and directional shooting. It’s true that you’ll see its inspiration from the previously mentioned Metroid, as well as Castlevania, Contra, and more, but it definitely adds new tools you wouldn’t dream of back on the SNES. There are plenty of Metroidvania games being released on the likes of Steam, but there are far fewer on console, and of those, finding one of this quality is difficult. Get ready to travel back to the 16-bit era of games with this title, and a funky soundtrack that fits perfectly. For all those fans that are in possession of a PS4, today is your lucky day, as Tom Happ has spent the past five years creating just what you wanted: Axiom Verge. Many have even insisted that a new one be a callback to the original series, meaning 2D.
For years now, people have been asking Nintendo for a new Metroid title.
