Alright, so this game is pretty damned great. It's a 6DOF shooter, akin to Descent or AquaNox, and it plays very smoothly. The controls may even be a notch above Sublevel Zero, a really good 6DOF roguelike that nailed the controls and the feel quite well. Perhaps it's the more open spaces, still contained in tight and laberynthic levels, that make Blast Axis feel even better to play.
It's a pretty straightforward game; you play through levels getting past gates by welding fuse boxes until you get to the end. The enemies seem to be blue alien-ish beings with a fair amount of diversity, so far I haven't encountered anything else or any clues that you might fight something different (ship on ship combat would be cool). Regardless, combat feels great, everything is very responsive, there's multiple weapons with multiple ammo types (and the secondaries have two firing modes each, per ammo type!), and there's plenty of different combat situations you can find yourself in, and a fair amount of approaches to combat.
The only thing that has me a bit puzzled is the "nudity" tag. Unless it's some end-game cutscene or something like that (which is the only thing I can think of, seeing as a narrative is nowhere to be found beyond the opening cutscene which vaguely establishes what is happening), I don't think there's any actual nudity in the game.
I recommend you give this game a shot, even if you haven't played any similar titles before. The controls are very straightforward, navigation is great, the map is a bit weird at first but you'll get the gist of it (it's sort of like X-Ray vision, it shows you the level through your POV), and the three different difficulty levels (and rather accesible initial mission) make it a good starting point for anyone.

Thanks for the heads up - I've been wondering myself, "Why a Nudity-Tag in an Action-Shooter game", kinda like that...

Just because is tagged nudity doesnt mean its right, ive seen many games with no nudity here tagged wrongly, so if its only "mechanical nudity", its not really nudity.

It is you who didnt read my comment, like I said, "mechanical nudity" is not nudity, so there is no nudity, not even to some point.

You are still not making sense, some degree of nudity is some degree of REAL nudity, human sexual parts exposed, not machine parts. Its NOT nudity, there is no technicality, its just not.
