Axiom Verge is an action-platform-exploration game that's not only created in intricate detail in the style of classics such as Metroid, Contra, Bionic Commando, and Blaster Master, but also uses those old-school "glitches" that we know and love as a gameplay feature. You'll use them to scramble enemies, corrupt environments, and pass through walls into hidden areas in a massive alien world.

Axiom Verge is priced at $19.99 / €17.99 and is already available on Steam, PlayStation 4, PS Vita, Xbox One, and Wii U. The Wii U version has a Metacritic score of 89 and was the top rated Wii U game of 2016. It was nominated for 2015 Indie Game of the Year by The Game Awards.
