Guns, robots, explosions – do we need to sell the release of Akimbot on Xbox, PlayStation and PC any more?
Available right now on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC, Akimbot brings together everything that gamers like, except perhaps a little bit of racing.
Everything you need in a game? Pretty much.
Yep, this one is all about the guns, the robots and the explosions as Evil Raptor and PLAION come together to drop players into an action-adventure platformer, one in which we’ll get the opportunity to play as Ex; an outlaw robot with a sidekick, Shipset.
Priced at £15.99 from the Xbox Store (expect similar pricing on other storefronts), Akimbot will have you blasting your way through a tale of universe saving, as the sci-fi world , galaxy travelling and robot mayhem combine as one.
A prison break kicks matters off, but from there, your decisions matter as an explosive adventure unfolds. Whether you are found jumping, blasting or driving, fighting through both time and space should well appeal. When you consider a range of weaponry, plenty of gear and more, it gets even more exciting.

Akimbot is available on the Xbox Store as we speak – pick it up and play it on Xbox Series X|S right now. This is a current-gen only title though, and as such there is no Xbox One play.
There is however a version for PlayStation 5 and another for PC. Should be covered, no?
Our full review of Akimbot is coming! For now, take in the launch trailer for Akimbot.
