About this game

Axiom Verge is a 2D metroidvania platform shooter centered around the protagonist Trace, a scientist who, after an experiment gone wrong, finds himself on the world of Sudra.

By the time Trace arrives on Sudra he finds this world and his civilization collapsed due to the release of the "Pathogen".

With help of the Russalki (giant war machines that guard Sudra), Trace has to fight back the invading forces and return back across The Breach to Earth.

The world of Sudra is an open world in which Trace can travel back and forth, but needs access to better gear and weapons to keep progressing.

Several areas can be travelled to by means of opening up pathways with the items Trace can find along the way.

This also involves backtracking.

Such items include for instance the Modified Labcoat, Grapple, Laser Drill, Address Disruptor and Remote Drone.

Some weapons can be used to open secret paths.

None of the available energy based weapons consume ammo.

Upgrades for health and weapons can also be found while exploring every nook and cranny.

Backtracking is needed for optionally completing the game entirely, but most of the weapons that are needed to finish the game can be found in a linear playthrough.

The amount of alien flora and fauna on Sudra varies from area to area.

The enemies respawn after leaving the general area.

After killing them they leave behind some health.

About Nintendo Wii U

The Wii U (2012) was commercially Nintendo's least successful home console, hampered by market confusion over whether the GamePad tablet controller was a new device or a Wii accessory. Its low sales mean smaller overall print runs across the board, and several first-party and indie darlings have already become noticeably pricier than their commercial performance would suggest, since there are simply fewer copies in circulation.

Gamevaro tracks Axiom Verge for Nintendo Wii U with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Axiom Verge to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WIU release dates back to 2015.

Market insights

🌍

NTSC-U is 14% cheaper

The NTSC-U version (€139.98) is significantly cheaper than PAL (€158.99) loose.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Axiom Verge, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Wii U titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
