Master Reboot, by Wales Interactive, is a particularly intriguing title on the Wii U eShop, and it's been quite a long wait for its spiritual successor - Soul Axiom. It now has a firm release date, and patient Wii U owners will also pay a little less to try it out.
It's coming on 29th September in North America and Europe, with a price of £11.99 / $14.99 / €14.99, described as a Wii U-exclusive permanent price; it costs $19.99 / €19.99 / £15.99 on PSN, for example. The press release admits that development took longer than expected for the Wii U, and so the lower price is a thank you to those that have been waiting. Also of note, those that did download the Soul Axiom demo from the Nindies@Home E3 2015 promotion will still get an extra 15% off for the first month of its release.
Like Master Reboot, this is a narrative-driven first-person game with a range of environments and puzzles to explore.
Are you interested in picking this up on Wii U at the end of September?

I don't know if I'm interested in this game. I'll let reviews help make up my mind.
I definitely love the use of colors here.
At first, I read that as Axiom Verge.
Too bad, I deleted the demo months ago !
No, the demo gave me motion sickness.
@gurtifus Doesn't matter afaik. As long as you downloaded it when it was available, you should get the 15% extra discount.
Played the demo, it was sooo boring, so sterile.
I'm so happy to finally read this. I really love Master Reboot despite it's flaws and I've been waiting a long time for Soul Axiom. Can't wait to download it!
The game looks pretty empty in the trailer, obviously nothing much got added since the demo.
Lol u guys are ruthless. I enjoyed master reboot quite a bit. It kept me hooked from beginning to end. Looking forward to this one plus the extra 15% off is a win win.
Ah, I was wondering what happened to this game. Definitely interested in it, though I gotta stock me some eShop funds...
@abbyhitter Me too XD
Very nice. I was starting to worry about the Wii U version of this.
I could not decide what to think of Munster Reboot while I was playing it. It ranged from very good to very bad, depending on the level. And then at the final boss, I realized I could not keep playing the game without loosing all progress. At that point, the game switched from "meh..." to "Piece of S*** of the Year" in my mind.
I think I heard about a patch available for other platforms, but they never bothered delivering it for Wii U.
So... thanks. But, no thanks.
@gurtifus @scamander ..can you redownload those demos in the eShop (My Menu, Your Downloads, Downloaded Software)?..i still have the Soul Axiom Event Preview but it has no app picture next to the More Details button, like the others...just wondering if you can before I delete mine, thanks in advance...
...I wanna like this game, but still on the fence ..a review would help to decide ...
couldn't get into master reboot. this looks like it has more to it than just walking, though
I loved master reboot so I should pick this up.
Without playing Master Reboot, I wasn't too impressed with the Soul Axiom demo that I played. It had an awful frame rate. With that said it showed a lot of potential and I can only hope the quality has improved since. If so, I'll take advantage of the extra discount.
I didn't get on with the demo for this but the screens look good. I'll wait on reviews or maybe try master reboot?
If anyone was wondering, I did like Master Reboot a lot, and the sequel looks even better. By no means am I bashing it. I just can't physically play it or MR without getting a little nauseous. Minecraft sometimes does this to me too.
Maybe. Demo was so so. Trailer looks better. Will read the review.
Frame rate was a bit iffy with the demo, but it still looks nice.
Atmospheric first person adventure with original puzzles, beautiful art, and a deep story. I'm in. That makes two Axiom's for me this month: the Verge and the Soul.
The only issue I had with the demo of this game was that the framerate was definitely on the dodgy side. If it has been smoothed out then count me interested in this one.
@feelinsupersonic how far did you get in master reboot? It has platforming, puzzle solving, driving, and horror stealth levels.
@Dpishere they actually delayed it to fix that very issue.
@faint gave up as soon as it got even a little challenging, because it was so boring, then deleted the ps3 account i had bought with it because of the 16-account limit on the console, and got oddworld dirt-cheap to replace it. already looking like i hate that, so will probably get replaced by persona 4 really soon. fortunately it's all very cheap because of how many people compete with each other selling these accounts on mercadolivre.com
@feelinsupersonic I'm suprised sony allowes that.
@faint Well that is great to hear. Now if the actual game is up to snuff I think I may end up getting it since there aren't too many first person puzzle games on the Wii U.
I forgot this game was coming.
I have the demo and thought it had potential. I may purchase this if the review is good.
Master Reboot was a weird experience, but one I felt was worth revisiting. I'll probably grab it. I think I at least downloaded the demo.
@SH007ME @scamander Yes, I've just figured out you can redownload even the demos so, indeed, no problem to have the reduced price, thanks !
@gurtifus ..cool, good to know, thanks..mostly afraid to lose the RIVE demo, since it may never come to Wii U...
Lol, I though it was Axiom Verge as well when I read it XD
Doggone speedreading of mine... anyway, I did like Master Reboot, but I think I didn't have my HDD at the time, so I "believe" I deleted the demo. Gotta go home and check...
