The one-man developed sort-of-like-Metroid retro exploration shooter Axiom Verge is set for a release on PS4 on March 31 in North-America and April 1 in Europe. The Vita version won’t launch simultaneously but is promised to be available through cross-buy for those who simply cannot wait. In the blog post Tom Happ also detailed a few power-ups including my favorite: the Address Disruptor. This glitch-based weapon is used on enemies and will yield different results depending on enemy type – some will create ledges for you to traverse while other will enable you to kill all enemies of that kind by just shooting one. Or in his own words:
Later on, you’ll discover the address disruptor. I came up with this idea from the days of my youth playing with things like Game Genie or just finding glitches that weren’t originally intended to be in the game. I found it fascinating to uncover areas that I was never intended to see and corrupt different elements of the game to see how they would behave.Tom Happ
