A voice calls to Trace telepathically for help, his only clue to the strange world in which he finds himself. As Trace works his way toward the voice and beyond, he explores an expansive world with unique tools and abilities, loads of weapons, tons of health/power/attribute upgrades, nearly 70 unique creatures, gigantic screen-filling bosses, and unique gameplay glitches allowing you to break past the boundaries of normal gameplay.

This is the ultimate love letter to classic 8-bit and 16-bit side-scrolling action-adventures! Axiom Verge drops you into Sudra—a surreal, biomechanical alien world balanced precariously between ancient technology and nightmarish organic decay. Take control of Trace, a scientist who awakens in this strange realm following a catastrophic laboratory explosion on Earth. Is this a distant alien planet? A simulated virtual reality? Or a twisted post-apocalyptic future?
To survive, you must navigate a massive, interconnected labyrinth filled with hostile extra-terrestrial creatures, gargantuan ancient boss entities, and hidden trans-dimensional pathways. With its razor-sharp platforming, massive arsenal of creative firearms, and an award-winning, hypnotic electronic soundtrack, Axiom Verge delivers an unforgettable, atmospheric journey of discovery that keeps your reflexes sharp and your mind racing.
