Indie developer Evil Raptor has teamed up with PLAION to reveal a first teaser trailer for the upcoming action-adventure shooter Akimbot, which has already received positive response among audiences for its likeness to Ratchet and Clank. Offering a colorful journey with two partnered heroes and gameplay akin to the beloved action-adventure video games synonymous with the PlayStation 2, this upcoming release is one fans of Ratchet and Clank and Jak and Daxter may want to take a closer look at.
Audiences have long-adored 3D action-adventure games, with recent releases like Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart proving particularly successful both critically and commercially. Titles like God of War Ragnarok and Red Dead Redemption 2 have ranked among some of the best action-adventure games of all time, though some fans have lamented their more mature themes. Seeking to satisfy a more lighthearted nostalgic itch for adventure, Akimbot is already striking a positive chord with fans of old-school 3D platformers.
Transporting players to a universe populated entirely by robots, Akimbot will see fans taking on the role of Exe, an outlaw bot, who has teamed up with his unexpected sidekick, Shipset. The two will venture out on a mission to save the universe from impending doom, which will require them to battle and blast through armies of robots and pilot a spaceship from planet to planet. Players will have a number of unique customization options with exciting unlockables and weapon mods to diversify their gameplay experience. Stunning environments, chaotic enemies, crazy companions, and a high-powered arsenal await players seeking to dive into the intergalactic war in Akimbot.
In the Akimbot teaser trailer, fans get a first look at what to expect from this vibrant 3D platforming shooter. The two protagonist characters can be heard bantering playfully back and forth while battling against various enemies, utilizing guns, spaceships, and an array of parkour maneuvers. Wall-jumping, grappling hooks, and even dancing showcase the movement capabilities of the playable characters, while expansive environments, massive enemies, and powerful explosions give fans an idea of what they will be facing in Akimbot. Audiences have already started comparing the title to games like Ratchet and Clank, due in large part to its duo protagonists, sci-fi setting, and humorous dialogue. Interested fans may want to keep an eye out when Akimbot launches later this year.
