AXIOM SOCCER

‎ ‎

This arena football shooter had a lot of potential but never had the polish that similar games did- well, one similar game, Rocket League. It’s easy to compare the games, but here you get a big cannon, and that makes Axiom its whole own experience. When you first start getting the hang of the mechanics you realise that there’s a lot of room to play your own way in Axiom. There’s your main gun but also four secondaries, all useful in different situations. You can also move vertically drone-style and boost. The four secondaries are Machine Gun- rapid fire weak shots, useful for dribbling or slightly altering ball trajectory, only uses about 0.5 of 100 ammo per shot Shotgun- a powerful short-range blast. The AI likes to use it as clearance on defence, but it can create a great spin for shots too. It uses 20 ammo per shot, so only 5 shots per reload. Grenade Launcher- slow projectile that explodes on contact with ground or walls, powerful blast similar to the shotgun, but at range, also uses 20 ammo per shot Deactivator- neutralises the ball’s momentum, very useful for lining up shots or tricking your opponent, uses 5 ammo per shot If you’ve got any sense this sounds like a worthy rival to Rocket League so far, and I’m not about to tell you it’s a mess when you look behind the ballistics. It’s good. There are issues, though. The camera doesn’t look high enough to see the ball at the top of the arena, easily fixable with a ball-cam toggle. There’s no tutorial, although there is a mode that was clearly meant to be one called ‘Axiom Academy’. Beyond those two, there are parts that feel a little off to me but aren’t necessarily issues for everyone. The map feels a bit busy, with flares dropping on the field becoming a major distraction, especially the white ones. At times the pacing of gameplay feels a little off, likely improved at a higher skill level or with more players. Unfortunately, more players isn’t likely to happen because the online servers have been shut off. I can understand why the developer stopped supporting Axiom; these games need a momentum at launch to sustain any consistent player base going forward. It is a massive shame, though, because the gameplay's so much fun, and I would have loved to have seen how it takes off (vertically). Overall, Axiom Soccer is a very enjoyable game, with enough unique flair to feel like its own thing. I feel it could have been a worthy rival to, or in the place of, Rocket League. If only it had released concurrently or before it.

// AXIOM SOCCER Game is absolutely phenomenal; 10 out of 10. 3rd Person Shooter - meets soccer - meets billiards. There are a lot of sophisticated controls; luckily there's a fabulous Controller Map Legend in the game. LOCAL PVP: Play Locally > Next > Add Controllers [A] (2-4 people) > Autofill AI > Play NOTE: If you just want 1-on-1, don't "Autofill AI" LOCAL COOP: Play Locally > Next > Add Controllers [A] (3-4 people) > Click on the "Press A To Join" under the same team (with the mouse) > Autofill AI NOTE: If there a way to do Local COOP with only 2 players... I haven't figured it out. [RB] > [RB] Puts your player dead center in front of the net, as Goalie.

It is not fun

Kötü değil, ama bir vakit sonra sıkıyor.
