Axiom Verge: How ancient Sumer inspired an alien world
Axiom Verge 2. I’m a sucker for Metroidvania-style games, and
Axiom Verge is easily one of the best around. The combat, story, music, and level design all compelled me to explore every inch of the ruined Sudran world. But it was something else that really cemented it as one of my all-time favorite games. See, I’m a history nerd. I especially love learning about the rise of urban civilization. My love of Metroidvanias is rivaled only by my fascination with the history and mythology of Sumer and the wider Mesopotamian world. As it turns out, developer Tom Happ shares that interest.
