Apart from a music programme and a word processor, this is the only game Lubomir Salanci has brought out on the ZX Spectrum and after one play of this game I can vividly see why. The game has a rather interesting intro complete with digitized music, which is then followed by a tune entirely made in random notes. As for the gameplay, well it's downhill from here I'm afraid. Slow, jerky, difficult to hit anything, in fact the graphics make it difficult to actually tell if you've hit anything or not! There is just far too much detail in the graphics which I personally think causes the slowdown, and because it's slow it's tough as nails.
Definately not a resounding shmup to say the least, looking at the average score on World of Spectrum (6.47 after 17 votes at the time of making this video....if you can call this a video that is) I was looking forward to playing this, but now I wish I hadn't. I was incredibly disappointed in this. To sum up Axons in three words, slow, jerky and overrated.
