Can I get a refresher on what this is?

Considering I like GBA Metroids a lot and Hollow Knight is one of my all time greats. How does Axiom Verge 1 stands?

It's the most Metroid out of all Metroidvanias on the market.

Awesome! I loved Axiom Verge.

I wouldn't even call it a metroidvania cus that implies rpg elements and stuff populaizrzed by symphony of the night. It's a straight up metroid game, but way weirder.

It never felt so worth it to actually buy a game physical.
I'll be more than fine supporting the sequel to Axiom Verge.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

trailer added to the OP.

 

[LazyLain]

Aesthetically this one looks significantly less appealing than the original, but I'm sure the game will be great.

 

[BozPaggs]

This is divisive? Sounds really good!

Some people weren't sold on the vocals, it stands out a bit from the rest of the soundtrack.
But yeah those people were wrong.

 

[test_account]

Nice. Day 1 :)

Thanks he is who I thought, Really Nice of Nintendo to give him a spot in the Direct hope it leads to a boost for him. Even If I haven't finished 1 by the time 2 come out will still pick it up. Am I also remembering that one of the original AV publishers screwed him out of money?

Absolutely agreed.

 

[Durden]

Fuck YES

 

[Bede-x]

Loved the first and will be there day one with the sequel, assuming there's a physical version. Otherwise I'll wait for the Steam version.

 

[Malcolm9]

100% Day One!

 

[JTyrmi]

The first one was good, not great but still worth it. If the sequel has less but better weapons, it'll be great. The world was fun to explore in the first one for sure.

 

[nStruct]

Awesome, look forward to it!

 

[NLCPRESIDENT]

The rulers back. Day 1

 

[Transistor]

AWWW HELL YISS

 

[BizzyBum]

Loved the first game but not in love with that release time frame.

 

[Gnorman]

Axiom Verge is one of my favourite experiences this gen. Absolutely loved exploring that world. I don't have a switch though, looks like I'll be picking up one up.

Not a chance in hell this is exclusive.

 

[Deleted member 23046]

Nice, the soundtrack of the first one is still haunting me.

 

[Tatsu91]

I would be down for this the first while not as good as Metroid or Hollow knight twas a good game that seemed it could be a classic if the dev iterated on it

Yeah, BadLand honored its name: https://www.resetera.com/threads/li...r-the-wii-u-gamesindustry-biz-article.105518/

Yeah your probably right. Haap spent four years making this by himself, he's going to need to see a return, and deservedly so.

Yeah I loved the first but the weapons were the weak point for me.

 

[bane833]

Loved the first one and will definitely get this. Hope there´s going to be a retail version again.

 

[Skatterd]

WAT

 

[SmartWaffles]

2020 is going to be insane for indies!

 

[Deleted member 17402]

Best thing about this series is its music. God damn is it good.

 

[eXistor]

Oh yes please! Very different setting which is interesting, day 1 for sure (provided a physical copy is available).

 

[Falcon511]

Nice! Very exciting.

 

[WyLD iNk]

Oh nice. I really liked the first. And yeah, that soundtrack has legs.

 

[angelgrievous]

Awww yiss. This shit is my jam.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

i love the trailer. super well made.

 

[cdr Jameson]

Oh wow it has been 4 years since Axiom Verge released.
Time for a proper replay in anticipation for the sequel.

 

[BlueManifest]

Could someone give me a short recap on axiom verge 1 story? I forgot some details about it

 

[Ashler]

Out of nowhere!

Can't wait to play this, loved the original.

Edit: I just realized... We might get Axiom Verge 2 AND Silk Song in 2020. Fantastic!

 

[Deleted member 6056]

AAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
ITs finally happening!
ITS BACK! AXIOM VERGE IS BAAAAAAAAAACK!

and cuphead dlc
crazy year

 

[TheLastYoshi]

i love metroidvanias but i really got lost in the first one about halfway through... got a bit frustrating, might have to revisit.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

I loved the first one and the music was fantastic!

 

[Cels]

sick, will buy when it comes to pc. i have that steelbook for axiom verge 1 lying around somewhere.

 

[hikarutilmitt]

I wonder what the divisive song of AV2 will be?



Loved this track, but response was mixed

Click to shrink...

How was anyone hating this? I get a distinct KMFDM vibe from the beats, which isn't a bad thing, but it's just so good and different I can't imagine anyone really hating it.

Or is this "either you loved it or it was just okay and therefore you hated it" and there's no such thing as a real middle ground?

 

[aerie]

Really quite liked the first one. Glad to see we're getting a sequel.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

It ain't a Silk Song revela but I'll take it!

I thought the whole point of metroidvanias was to get lost? If you don't get lost then it's not a good metroidvania imo

 

[Bushido]

That's a day one, really hyped for this.
