You can pick several options here, including making the machine gun seize up or even better, overloading the cannons to do damage to the boss itself.Ĭombine this with upwards boomerang shots or even slashing with your ice pick and you'll have this fight in the bag (especially since we've upgraded our health once).Īs a bonus, Axiom Verge 2 still has the EXCELLENT death animation from the first game. Get under the drone and sent out your hacking web.

You can destroy rockets as well.įrom there. It may also launch rockets, but that's rarer as it usually does that if you're underneath it. In the meantime, it will fire it's cannon at you (slower red shots) and it's machine gun (which fires many more shots than any of the other drones did). It actually won't take many hits to do so. You’ll want to search every inch for the hidden items and upgrades you need to survive. Use your remote drone to enter the Breach, a parallel but connected reality that is filled with its own dangers. To start this fight off though, just climb up and get to its head and use your boomerang to destroy the head. Explore an alternate Earth-like world, replete with the ruins of an ancient, high-tech civilization.

This means you can hack multiple parts on it, including its machine gun, its cannons, and its wings. During the story about halfway through, you will come to a story moment where you lose.

Overall 4. However, the graphics of the game isn’t particularly impressive. Moreover, this game requires less-demanding system requirements. The biggest thing to note here is that this boss has multiple parts to it. Axiom Verge is a side-scroller action-adventure game that’s easy to fall in love with thanks to its interesting story, plot twists, and fun gameplay. There's an item coming up to give you an alterative way to fight this boss too, but straight-up fighting it now is fine if you ask us! Axiom Verge 2 is a part of that same story, but set in a different time period with new characters, new enemies, and in a new world. Better for a second play-through if you ask us. Before this, any physical contact with the Breach portals will cause. There's a trophy for killing bosses, and we'll do it through the guide, but there's a "Pacifist" trophy too. In Axiom Verge 2, Indra meets Damu, who gives her the ability to traverse the Breach. NOTE: You can actually choose not to fight right now if you wanted. + Progression and level design is focused in a more balanced way.Welcome to the first boss of the game! This machine is called the "Hunter Drone", and it is definitely a battle. + Combat is focused much more on melee and lower-range attacks as opposed to the first game's projectiles, which increases difficulty while keeping it fair + Is more grounded but still somehow finds its way to make the lore even more complicatingly interesting and head-scratching (in a good way, for the most part!) TL DR, it expands the original lore very well The game was initially set to release last year. Tom Happ is the developer of the sequel to Axiom Verge of 2015. + Art style is entirely different, having more bits which improves detail while maintaining the original's groovy retro feel (also makes animations with more frames look better since they have more pixels to work with) Axiom Verge 2, released on August 11, 2021, is an action-adventure game. The game begins with Indra investigating an Antarctic Research Outpost whose members all disappeared over a year ago. + Not as much catchy music, but the soundtrack is way bigger and the more ambient tracks are still really good Axiom Verge 2 is an indirect sequel from the original game, instead of learning more about Trace and Sudra the players take on the role of billionaire Indra Chaudhari. Developer Tom Happ spent five years working nights and weekends (in addition to a full-time job) as a one-man development team in. Very hard to say if this one's better or not, they're better than each other in different ways Axiom Verge is the definition of an indie passion project.

+ Phenomenal pre-sequel to a phenomenal game that was well worth the wait.
