  • graphics
    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally considered subpar compared to titles like Madden, with many users noting that they resemble high-tier mobile game visuals rather than a full console experience. While some appreciate the gameplay mechanics and customization over flashy graphics, there are consistent mentions of animation issues and performance problems, such as lag and frame rate drops. Overall, the graphics are seen as a work in progress, with potential for improvement in future updates.

    • “The graphics are not Madden level, but they are made in Unity, which has produced some god-awful games. This must be some of the best I've seen in Unity; it's more like super high-tier mobile game level graphics.”
    • “The animations are really great, the graphics look damn good, and overall enjoyable.”
    • “For those who actually care about the game on the field, the graphics do very nicely, thank you very much.”
    • “The graphics are older, the scripted tackles a little cheap, the passing...weird?”
    • “Yes, the graphics and animations need some work.”
    • “If you come in wanting an NFL football simulation with a big budget and fancy graphics and licensed apparel with all the glitz and glamour, then look elsewhere - this game is not for you.”
  • gameplay
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of Axis Football has received mixed reviews, with many users noting that while there are interesting mechanics and features, the overall execution is often rough and in need of significant improvement. Players have highlighted issues such as janky mechanics, bugs, and a lack of variety, which detract from the experience, although some appreciate the ongoing updates and dedication of the developers. Overall, while there are promising elements, the gameplay currently falls short of expectations and requires further polish to be truly enjoyable.

    • “Axis football does have some interesting mechanics in the football games themselves, such as focusing your players on the pass or on smash mouth football, among other options.”
    • “Some great new features, quite a bit of polish, and overall fun and easy gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is much smoother and a lot more fun, but the franchise mode is the best part.”
    • “I want to recommend this game, because I want it to get better, but I can't, in good conscience, right now, as the gameplay is frequently terrible.”
    • “It has a lot of problems, there are still features and mechanics that are incomplete, and so it's very rough around the edges.”
    • “Gameplay mechanics are not very good.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “I really wanted to like this; I really did, but it's just too buggy right from the start. Frequent crashing, not to mention bugs.”
    • “This game is unfortunately very buggy and rough around the edges.”
    • “Where Madden 19 just feels like attached quick time events with lots of bugs and a horrible amount of glitches in between, Axis has nice gameplay mechanics and provides you with a lot of control.”
  • replayability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while some players find it enjoyable and enhanced by features like the franchise mode, others feel that it becomes too predictable, diminishing its long-term appeal.

    • “Many times I've said, 'That's it, he's dead.' It's hilarious.”
    • “The witty dialogue and absurd situations had me laughing out loud.”
    • “The game's humor is so clever and unexpected; it keeps you on your toes!”
  • music

    • “Most of the supporting features are pretty mediocre (commentary, music, menu navigation, etc.), but that's understandable.”

    Reviewers express that while the game has potential, the emotional impact is hindered by frustrating gameplay mechanics, particularly the unreliable catching system that detracts from the overall experience.
