Axel Foxx: Operation Clawback

About this game

Hope Never Breaks

A utopia that was never quite perfect is under invasion by a relentless mechanical swarm. Standing in its way is Officer Axel Foxx: fearless, endlessly optimistic and armed with a sword, a gun and a hope that won't break.

Axel Foxx: Operation Clawback is a single-player hack-and-shoot action-platformer, built as a love letter to the golden age of early-2000s action games.

Slash, Shoot, Never Stop

Fuse close-quarters swordplay with twin-stick precision gunplay. Swap between blade and gun mid-combo, and put the biggest machines down with cinematic finishers.

Movement Is Half the Fight

Dash, double-jump, grapple and jetpack through handcrafted levels built to test how you move, not just how you fight.

Build Your Arsenal Your Way

Collect resources to unlock new weapons, tools and abilities, then shape Axel's playstyle with a skill tree.

A Change of Pace

Every so often, the action shifts gears: jet dogfights, mech battles, an armored vehicle escape and side-scrolling sequences.

Return to earlier missions with new abilities to reach hidden areas and uncover secrets, or test your skills in the arena for rewards.
