News: Tom Happ has announced that he is bringing his game to more platforms later this year so more gamers have an opportunity to experience it.

Axiom Verge is coming to the Xbox One and Wii U later this year. The guy behind the game, Tom Happ, announced this earlier today to the delight of Xbox One and Wii U gamers.

Axiom Verge is a retro-style action-platform-exploration game done in a 16-bit style and was heavily influenced by games like Metroid, Contra, Blaster Master, and other classics, but with very modern design sensibilities. It also gives you power over glitches like those found in classic games, allowing you to scramble enemies, corrupt environments, and enter hidden areas as you explore this hostile alien world and uncover your role within it.

The entire game (programming, design, art, animations, music) was created by one person, Tom Happ, during evenings and weekends over the course of 5 years. Previously released on PS4 and Steam, it has received more than 24 independent review scores of 9/10 or higher and won multiple game of the year awards.

Axiom Verge features include:

Over 40 weapons and tools

Almost 100 upgrades

Over 80 creatures

Almost 1,000 rooms

Six supported languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese
