#AXIOM VERGE 2 SWITCH PHYSICAL PC#

This time around, gameplay has been mixed up a little bit from the original. And without spoiling too much, this release does eventually reveal its fascinating connections to the original Axiom Verge. You’re not sure whether Indra is dreaming, dead, or something else entirely, which gives all the proceedings a wonderfully vague, fever dream aesthetic. You’re given just enough information that the narrative makes sense, and gaps are slowly filled in as you find optional text logs along the way, but there’s rarely a moment where you feel like you truly understand all the forces at play. If there’s one thing that the narrative of Axiom Verge 2 absolutely excels at, it’s keeping the player continuously wondering what on earth is going on. When she comes to, Indra finds that she’s been transported to a different dimension and given a ‘new body’ by a mysterious artificial being. Unfortunately, all the staff at the base seem to have vanished without a trace, and things are made even worse when Indra accidentally falls into a cave and… drowns. There are some real At the Mountains of Madness vibes as Indra finds herself taking a chopper to a remote Antarctic research station owned by her company after receiving a mysterious message that hints that her missing daughter might be there. Unlike the first game, which saw you playing as a scientist named Trace, the narrative of Axiom Verge 2 follows Indra Chaudhari, a billionaire CEO of a major international conglomerate.

Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) Axiom Verge would’ve been just fine as a standalone release, but evidently Thomas Happ had enough ideas leftover that he felt the need to produce a full-fledged follow up with Axiom Verge 2, a game which feels distinct from its predecessor in some key ways while the core gameplay feels just as polished as it’s ever been, making for an impressively high-quality experience from stem to stern. Fortunately, various smaller studios stepped up and one such gem was Axiom Verge, an absolutely incredible Metroidvania that was produced in its entirety by just one remarkably talented man.

'I've been lucky that I've had great support from Sony and Microsoft over the years,' he concluded, 'so I hope to be able to talk about my plans on those systems soon.In the comparatively dark days of the Wii U, we often had to focus more on indie games to get us through the worst of the months-long droughts between major first-party releases. Happ confirms Axiom Verge 2 will be making its way to Steam 'eventually' - although doesn't disclose the length of Epic's exclusivity deal - and has teased a release on additional platforms too. With this deal in place, game development started feeling like a hobby again.' Making games can be fun, but it can also be stressful. I don't want to go into too many details about the nature of the arrangement I have with Epic other than to say that I've been able to put my stress about how the game will perform out of my mind for a bit and just focus on making the game I want to make. I love that I get to work on my hobby all day, but at the same time, I'm always aware of the responsibility I have to my family. I have a wife and child who depend on me and the game. 'To say that life is very different for me now would be an understatement,' Happ continued, 'Axiom Verge is my job now. I wasn't really expecting Axiom Verge to pay the bills.' I had a well paying job with benefits, and my dog and I lived a very low maintenance lifestyle. 'When I first started development on the original Axiom Verge about 10 years ago, it was my side hobby. 'I'd be lying if I said the only reason I decided to go exclusive on Epic was because I'm a fan of the platform and all the wonderful people who work there (though I am, and they are),' he wrote.

Axiom Verge 2 will, after a short delay last year, be coming Switch and PC this spring, and Happ has explained his decision to launch exclusively on the Epic Games Store in a post to his blog.
