In Axiom Verge, someone named Athetos was able to traverse the breach and use a breach attractor to keep Sudra trapped. I first decided to include the breach in Axiom Verge 2 in some form around 2016. It took a while for the two worlds idea to gel. At first I considered just having one piece of land elevated above the other. After toying around with a few approaches, I decided that approaching the breach as an additional dimension could unleash a huge range of opportunities for non-linear exploration. There will be secrets you can only find in the breach as well as places in the overworld that can only be reached via a path going through the breach-and vice versa.Īt a glance, you can see that the breach area looks very different from the overworld: In Axiom Verge 2, you’ll have the ability to enter and exit the breach and discover how that world is connected to the overworld. Axiom Verge 2 tries to be more its own thing, but the new, non-Super Metroid-esque elements simply don't work. The breach, being of alien origin, shares a bit more in common with Sudra than the earth. My conclusion is that without the foundation of Super Metroid to base the game on, the dev struggled to come up with new, interesting ideas. All of which is to say, wait until you can demo it for 2 hours first. It has blockier tiles and a completely different look. The enemies are more organic than robotic, but all the while completely alien. Making two games in one is challenging enough, but it’s really the interaction of the two worlds that makes it into a cohesive whole. If they were just two separate art styles, where some rooms were in the breach style and others were in the overworld style, that’s not particularly interesting. What is interesting, to me at least, is using one to explore the other.įor each location in the breach, there is a corresponding point in the overworld. Alrighty, I'm not even sure if this could be called a guide, but here it goes A singular, detailed map that will provide you with basically everything you need to know to finish the game 100.
The entrance and exit points for the breach and the overworld had to be carefully aligned to make sure players wouldn’t get trapped and so that you could reach everywhere you wanted to go. Of course there are much more detailed guides and explanations out there if you want to go more in-depth, but this should. Working out the map system for this literally added an extra dimension to the game’s design. Going into any more detail about how the breach and overworld interact would start bleeding into the territory of over-spoiling. I don’t want to ruin the fun of discovering Axiom Verge 2’s secrets, so I’ll stop here. Just know that the game will be out before you know it, and you’ll be dimension hopping in no time. Axiom Verge 2 lands on Earth this summer, coming to PlayStation – PlayStation."The biggest difference is probably two overlapping worlds.The next biggest difference is the lack of projectile weapons. The hacking mechanic is inspired by the glitching mechanic in AV1 though it's a bit more detailed and the effects are menu-driven choices instead of being a binary 'glitched or not-glitched.'"Ī Link to the Past's primary influences are mechanical rather than thematic Axiom Verge 2 has players bouncing back-and-forth between two overlapping worlds for puzzle solving and navigation. While players can find a ranged weapon in the form of the Gishru boomerang in Axiom Verge 2, the high-caliber sci-fi armaments that typified Axiom Verge's arsenal are noticeably absent. Instead, players will need to rely on a menu-based hacking system to co-opt and corrupt enemies. Even though both games are metroidvanias, Axiom Verge 2 often feels more like a stealth and puzzle title than a more combat-oriented platformer, as was the case with the original Axiom Verge.
