Description: Axegend VR is a Rogue-lite action strategy game. The game is inspired by Orcs Must Die. You’ll start the game as a rookie with nothing but an axe at hand. As you play on, you will gradually unlock a wide variety of weapons, items and master new battle skills. Through courage and wisdom, you’ll become the battle-worn knight. After defeating a wave of enemies, you’ll get the chance to select the loot you like. Your key to victory is the right combination of the suitable weapon, and the right buff and trap to fend off the hoards of enemies on the right location. In the face of bosses with different personalities, your wisdom and skill are extremely crucial. Gear up and venture into the dungeon. Take on the weapon on the waist and the traps on your back, and see what powerful combo will they lead to. Put your movement, observation, reflection and wisdom to good use. Now let the journey to save the princess begins.
Review: Axegend VR is a low-poly action game in which you will be throwing axes swinging your sword and even using some magic spells to defeat wave after wave of enemies. I really like the various items and traps as it does throw in an element of strategy into the game and some much-needed depth. Some of the boss fights were a lot of fun as well, but the game does get repetitive rather quickly. With its low-poly graphics and simplistic gameplay, this game doesn’t offer much more than a few laughs and a nice bit of medieval action, but that is enough for me to recommend it. Sure, it isn’t going to win any awards for originality, but it should deliver on value for money if you get into it and replay some of the levels.
