When aliens invade a peaceful forest, you’d normally expect a team of action heroes to save the day. Instead, Acorn Avengers puts two fearless chipmunks in charge.
Heading to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Xbox Play Anywhere for £8.39, the latest adventure from Cascadia Games looks set to deliver a colourful co-op platforming journey that begins in a woodland park and ends… in outer space.

Chipmunks To The Rescue
Life is peaceful in the forest until everything changes in an instant. A group of spacefaring lizards swoop in and kidnap the beloved forest ranger, leaving it to an unlikely pair of chipmunks to set things right.
Known as the Acorn Avengers, the furry duo will chase the invaders across forests, treetops and eventually beyond Earth’s atmosphere in a rescue mission that’s every bit as quirky as it sounds.
Collect Nuts, Toss Barrels And Team Up
Acorn Avengers mixes exploration with light puzzle-solving and platforming challenges. Players will climb towering trees, throw crates to clear paths, launch explosive barrels at enemies and gather plenty of acorns and nuts along the way.
The entire adventure can be tackled solo, but local two-player co-op looks to be where the game should really shine, allowing friends or family to work together throughout the entire campaign.
A Wholesome Adventure With A Cosmic Twist
Platform games rarely involve heroic chipmunks pursuing alien lizards across the galaxy, which is exactly why Acorn Avengers immediately catches the eye.
Whether you’re planning to tackle the rescue alone or recruit a second player for some couch co-op fun, this looks like one to keep an eye on. It’s available now via the Xbox Store, playable on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC with Xbox Play Anywhere support, priced at £8.39.
Sometimes saving the world simply starts with gathering a few nuts.
