Akimbot

"Akimbot attempts to bring some nostalgia back to the modern gaming market, but fails to hit the mark with a plot that leaves no impact and easily forgettable protagonists. Although the game is partly saved by well-implemented platforming and shooting …"

"Akimbot is a fun platformer that can be expanded upon with a sequel. The weapons are too simple for a sci-fi game like this, but they all feel fantastic to control nonetheless."

"Akimbot is an entertaining platformer that&s;s satisfying to control and a fun little adventure that&s;s unfortunately brought down by some serious technical problems"

"While trying to pay tribute to classic platformers, Akimbot fell short when it came to making its own identity. The main characters weren&s;t that interesting and the story was predictable, but it did have a couple of strengths. The look …"

"It takes a good deal of recklessness to develop a video game similar in every respect to Ratchet &a; Clank, knowing what kind of production you&s;re up against. Akimbot, without mincing words, comes out in pieces; not because it&s;s not …"

"Akimbot is filled with big ambitions, but they have outgrown the small Evil Raptor team. It&s;s not bad and on promotion it&s;s worth giving this game a chance, but don&s;t expect anything exciting here."

""Akimbot" is a love letter to the early platformers of the Playstation 2, you can see that in every minute of play. Even if the game doesn&s;t manage to completely capture the charm of the past, it still offers enough …"

"An interesting platform game, but somewhat outdated on a visual and playable level"

"Akimbot&s;s adventure isn&s;t an unpleasant one, but its shortcomings are obvious. The potential of the fights has remained partly unexpressed, either for some too standard weapons, or for the limits related to the more particular and powerful ones."

"I enjoyed my time with Akimbot. It is a charming and surprising lengthy game, with tight controls and a well voiced story. As a diehard Ratchet &a; Clank fan with no new Ratchet game on the horizon, it was nice …"

"Akimbot may evoke a golden era of 3D platformers, but that’s pretty much all it’s good for. Taken on its own merits, at best it’s thoroughly mediocre."

"Good action platformer with charm and stylistically confident direction, which is consciously orientated towards comparable games of the PS2 era, but unfortunately stumbles over its unbalanced collection of side tasks. Sidekick Shipset is also a bit of a dick, which …"

"I’ll keep riding this wave of nostalgia if the end result is a great game, and Akimbot is just that. Developed over three years in spare time, Evil Raptor knew their target audience and have a solid title to offer …"

"This self-described throwback to the golden era of PS2 platforming classics falls short of expectations."

"As I said earlier, Akimbot feels like a condensed form of a Ratchet &a; Clank game, and that&s;s great. The game is short, and most players will be done here in less than 10 hours. While there are collectibles in …"

"Akimbot is, without a doubt, a good 3D platformer that honors its biggest and most obvious references, with good world-building, more-of-the-same narrative and competent mechanics. But it dares little and hardly dares to explore anything beyond what we have seen …"

"As a fan of 3D platformers, it was a treat playing through Evil Raptor&s;s Akimbot. Despite minor performance woes and a lack of weapon variety, my experience playing Exe and Shipset’s big adventure was enjoyable. Polished 3D platforming mixed with …"

"With great movement to carry it over its myriad stumbles, Akimbot does its best to both live up to it inspirations and carve out an identity of its own."

"It is pleasing to that games like Akimbot are still being made, as there is a definite place in the market for well-crafted examples of platforming run and gun action."

"No, Akimbo is not the next Ratchet &a; Clank, but it would have been presumptuous to even try to match Insomniac’s duo. Aware of their limitations, the team at Evil Raptor approached the original material with respect and knowledge, creating …"

"Akimbot is an excellent adventure platformer. Your play as a mercenary named EXE who is pretty much assigned a task to save the entire galaxy. A constant thrill of action with a combat approach of the 3D platformers in the …"

"Akimbot is a completely derivative title that manages to soften the rigidities of the predecessors of the subgenre it draws inspiration from, while inexplicably self-limiting in terms of its core gameplay mechanics. Fortunately, the title is packed with various special …"
