ATHETOS (AXIOM VERGE)
Axiom Verge is a game that can provide a fair bit of challenge every now and then, which is to be expected, given the fact that it’s a game that takes heavily from classic Metroid titles. But the final boss fight against Athetos does not really do that- which is a little disappointing. This fight is certainly not as easy as some of the others mentioned in this feature, but standing in a corner, locking, and shooting continuously is very much a viable tactic, at least on normal difficulty. Sure, some of the projectile attacks may hit you, but shooting at the sentries that keep coming your way nets you with generous health replenishments, so losing too much health never really becomes that much of an issue.
