What people are saying

The Real Review

Akatori looks stunning with its beautiful pixel art, but the reaction is split on whether the gameplay holds up. The staff combat and exploration get some love, though many find the difficulty and story underwhelming. Performance on PC and older consoles like Xbox One is a common complaint, with crashes and frame drops souring the experience for a lot of players. It's a decent metroidvania that shines visually, but the technical issues and uneven challenge make it a tougher sell at full price.
