Axiom Verge

So what IS the Axiom Verge? Today we found out as Joshua walks us through this 2015 indie homage to Metroid that leans heavily into the retro feel of the genre. Developed, published, and composed by Thomas Happ, this side scrolling action adventure game takes the scientist Trace through a foreign alien world ruled by technology while piecing together what happened to the world you woke up in, and what piece you play in it all. The music ties heavily into the brooding industrial tech heavy setting with an unapologetically 80's vibe carrying us through it up. Come on in and enjoy the ruined world with friends and wild chiptune glitch techno vibes.
