About

A refreshing remake of a classic hack, with improved physics, automated/streamlined mechanics for improved accessibility, an optional hint system, rebalanced enemy damage, neat features like area nameplates, and new secrets and puzzles. Even if you know where to go from playing Redesign, or just from using the hint system, it manages to feel like a whole new game. It even has extra stats at the ending under your percentage. Drewseph has spent the last 9 years taking the criticism of Redesign to heart, and the result is Super Metroid Redesign: Axeil Edition.
