About Axia

Players assume the role of a bounty hunter operating in a space setting. The primary activity involves completing missions that reward cash, which serves as a core progression system.

Gameplay is defined by full three-dimensional movement, allowing the player's ship to maneuver freely. Objectives include the destruction of various targets such as ships and asteroids. These actions are connected to uncovering a sinister conspiracy as the narrative unfolds.
