The last few years have seen a glut of Metroidvania titles on just about every platform imaginable. Xeodrifter, Strider, Ori and the Blind Forest, and Guacamelee are just a few notable examples of games that have taken gameplay principles from Metroid and post-Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and applied it with excellent results. Axiom Verge, a game made solely by Tom Happ, is a little different in that it takes more inspiration from Nintendo's space opera than anything else. After about five years of work, the end result is pretty fantastic.

Love the newest Strider! Definitely underrated.
Love these lists as i now want to check out Momodora (on PS extra) and Ender Lillies.
It's a very solid list and the best part is that I think all of them are on other platforms so more people can play them.
Welcome to another Nindie Spotlight here on Nintendo Link where we bring to light some of the best indie games on the Switch. This week we are focusing on Axiom Verge, a brilliant sci-fi metroidvania title by Thomas Happ.
Fun game.
Its definitely a Metroid clone, but that's an awesome thing.
A 2D MetroidVania throwback is what lots of ppl crave every now and then.
