Akimbot Description
Akimbot is a three-dimensional action platformer that reminds of the genre classics from the PlayStation 2 console, especially the Ratchet & Clank series. The game was made by the Evil Raptor studio, which created Pumpkin Jack representing a similar genre.
Plot
We start the adventure by escaping from prison to stop the evil scientist Evilware, who wants to cause chaos in the cosmos and destroy the Algorithm. For this purpose, we visit various planets throughout the galaxy, some of which have never been explored before.
On our way, we meet their residents who are trying to help us. Reaching the mad scientist is hindered by his army of robots adapting to the different conditions prevailing on the surface of each of the planets.
Gameplay
As befits a classic 3D platformer, in Akimbot we move through the universe by jumping, running on walls and grabbing ledges. We can use extra speed for overcoming short distances and a turbocharged system that allows us to perform a double jump. The game also included sequences allowing control of spacecraft and other available vehicles.
Between platforming sequences, Exe and Shipset fight the attacking robots using various weapons. By defeating opponents, destroying the environment, and finding hidden chests, we earn botcoins. Thanks to them, we can unlock new guns and modify them to be more effective during battles.
