This parallel world is called "Kiengir" by the locals, but the scientists called it “The Breach.” This world looks totally different then the first world you started in. The world is split into multiple biomes and it even contains a whole other world. Axiom Verge 2 really focuses on the exploration aspect of this huge map and puzzle solving instead of the combat you may be used to from the first game. It is a big place but you really feel alone. The environment and world in this game is huge! The 2D pixel graphics work great to create the feeling of isolation in a cold and icy place. Then later on you get the ability to hack drones and enemies to control what they do. This is one of the bigger changes from the first Axiom Verge title, in that game you had a lot of guns and weapons to collect and use whereas here it is centered around two weapons, a pick axe and a boomerang. Be sure to crouch when you are swinging the pick axe or it will swing right over top of them not actually hitting them. If you wander into one of their sensing lasers they will fire shots at you and chase you down. Luckily Indra is equipped with a pick axe to take down these machines melee style. What happened there is unknown, but the only signs of “life” are the numerous drones that are patrolling the area. This alternate Earth is desolate and any signs of civilisation are in ruins. “Come to Antarctica if you wish to see your daughter again.” This is how Indra ends up in this frigid and icy ancient world that is an alternate Earth. When Indra powers on the unit it has a message for her. disappeared while they were in Antarctica, no one knows how or why but after years went by Globe 3 purchased the abandoned company. Elizabeth Hammond the scientist who created the first ansible superluminal communicator, essentially zero latency computing has gone missing.
The story in Axiom Verge 2 is centered around the worldwide company called Globe 3 and its secretive billionaire leader, Indra Chaudhari. Do you keep things the same as in the first game or do you try to do something totally different? Game developer Thomas Happ had a big challenge on his hands when he decided to make a sequel to his popular game Axiom Verge that came out in 2015.
