Metroidvania bundle nets you seven games at just $2 each
Humble Bundle's Metroidvania Mania bundle (great name) brings together seven of the most popular Metroidvania games from the last few years for just $14 (£11.15). When you break it down, that means you're paying just $2 (£1.60) for each game. Overall, they'd usually go for $139,

When you break it down, that means you're paying just $2 (£1.60) for each game. Overall, they'd usually go for $139, so this is essentially a 90% discount.

Original postAxiom Verge is getting a free randomiser mode - nearly six years after the Metroidvania came out.
In a post on the Axiom Verge blog, developer Thomas Happ said the update owes its existence to Axiom Verge's speedrunning community as well as the original mod developer, Pozzum. Together, they came up with an unofficial version that required a legal copy of the game to use, and since worked with Happ to incorporate it officially into the game.
"They spent years working on this and refused any compensation I offered. It was a labour of love, and I'm hugely grateful to all of them," Happ said.

Axiom Verge is adding a randomiser, and you can try it now

Creator Tom Happ is officially adding a randomiser mode, which will shuffle the placement of orders to spice up repeat runs. Randomisers have been popular in recent years through mods for everything from Dark Souls to old Zeldas, and modders made one for Axiom Verge too. Now it’s becoming official, and you can try the beta now.

Original postAxiom Verge 2 is coming next year, it was announced during today's Nintendo Indie World Showcase. It's expected to release in "fall 2020" (that's spring in Australia) but we only have confirmation that it's coming to Nintendo Switch. That said, it'd be hugely surprising if the game remained an exclusive there.
Aside from the trailer and launch window, there's not much else in the way of firm information: the game page on Nintendo promises "completely new characters, abilities, and gameplay", and the same lush pixel art is present, only this time with a more naturalistic, snowy theme.
It's good news: the original Axiom Verge was a nice modern tribute to Super Metroid, with our reviewer Andy describing it as "old school, but with a modern edge".

Original postIt's no secret there's been some antagonism between Steam and Epic as the latter seeks to establish its own digital storefront. Only earlier this week Valve called Epic's decision to snap up Metro Exodus "unfair to Steam customers", prompting fans to display their annoyance by review-bombing past Metro titles on Steam.
In light of all this, what could be funnier than a file called "steam" breaking a game on the Epic Games Store?
Axiom Verge, a Metroid-esque indie originally released in 2015, yesterday made its debut on the Epic Games Store as a free-to-play title. Players soon found, however, that entering one area resulted in a 100 per cent crash rate. After poking through the game files, one observant player found the reason behind this: the game was mysteriously missing a file called "steam".
