Gravity Is Your Weapon in Off Axis
The solo developer behind the game Off Axis has unveiled a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming sci-fi FPS, offering a fresh look at its fast-paced combat, gravity-based mechanics, and deadly spaceship environments. You can check it out right below to get a glimpse of the awesome shooting action ahead.
The new trailer puts the spotlight on what makes Off Axis stand out. Set aboard a massive spaceship, the game lets players manipulate gravity to move across floors and ceilings, opening up new ways to explore the ship and take down enemies. The trouble begins when players find themselves cut off from the evacuation route. With chaos spreading throughout the ship, they must fight their way through each section while uncovering the secrets hidden within its walls.
Gravity isn’t just a movement gimmick. Players can reverse it during gameplay and suddenly find themselves battling enemies from the ceiling. This mechanic can completely change the flow of an encounter, giving players more freedom to experiment with their surroundings.
The spaceship itself also becomes a powerful tool. Players can trigger lasers, drop enemies through trapdoors, blow up explosive barrels, and activate crushing mechanisms to clear out threats. Scanning the environment can also reveal hidden dangers, secrets, and alternative paths.
Despite its unusual gravity system, Off Axis keeps its focus firmly on shooting. Inspired by classic boomer shooters, the game features weapons that don’t require reloading, while players collect health and ammunition as they explore.
The new trailer shows the project coming together nicely as development continues. With the game now being prepared for Early Access, Off Axis could be one to watch for FPS fans looking for something a little different.
