Axiom Verge is a Metroid (NES) inspired game that takes place in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic, "H.R. Giger-esque" world, that your character awakes in with no sense of what is real, or glitch.
The game is haunting, the music is engaging and the graphics and game play is very much on-par with playing an original NES title.
The story and gameplay has had me hooked for some time, playing the game semi-frequently for over a month and am still finding new weapons, power-ups and hidden areas.
If you are a fan of the Metroid series I would highly recommend this game.
It is cabinet friendly, with some key remapping. I've been playing it on my cab for over a month, and with abundant save spots in the game, it's good for short gaming sessions, although I have burned a couple of hours playing this game straight without realizing how much time has passed.
My real only complaint about this game is the constant back and forth you have to do between areas, but that also stays true to the original Metroid.
Also, at first you might think that the graphics are glitchy, or incomplete, but it is actually a part of the game that is revealed much later.
