Keeping a close-eye on cyberpunk games here at Cram-Gaming, sometimes a few slip through the net as is the case with the rather cool Axiom of Maria from developer Studio Ganzheit. The game which released last year and was recently updated, offers some really neat cyberpunk sword based action set within a technologically advanced setting. Players assume the role of Kay as she attempts to locate her husband. It’s a really cool action game (similar to Ninja Gaiden) that has some pretty decent production values. The good news is, the developer is currently in the process of adding English voice overs. Take a look at the Axiom of Maria gameplay from the PC version available as a prologue via Steam.
