Axiom Verge 2
Axiom Verge 2 was recently unveiled during a Nintendo Indie World showcase and while it’s probably the smallest game in this list, it’s still something worthy of being excited for.
The developer was heavily inspired by titles like Metroid and Castlevania, so yes you can call this a Metroidvania for sure. It uses sprites and pixel art to convey an art style that looks straight out of the 90s and it’s absolutely beautiful.
The first game was primarily focused on exploration and action, and thanks to literally dozens of weapons, fighting against enemies was really fun and had more variety to its combat compared to other Metroidvanias in recent years.
There’s no solid release date yet but it’s coming to the Switch in 2020 and that’s really all the information I need right now to be excited.
