About

AX

Read full description

AX-9 is a tactical decision-making game where thinking ahead matters more than quick reflexes. Navigate challenging levels, observe approaching hazards and decide at the right moment whether to dodge, attack or deliberately take damage. Every movement consumes valuable resources, so a single decision can determine the outcome of an entire run. Face different enemies, ground hazards and tactical situations. Choose between multiple difficulty levels and adapt your strategy to the unique challenges of each level. Collect Meta-Coins to improve your starting resources for individual levels. Permanently increase your maximum resources by completing levels on Hard difficulty. AX-9 is not a traditional action game. It is a challenging game about decisions, resource management and choosing which risk to take at the right moment.
