Akatori, a colorful pixel art metroidvania where players use a staff to traverse different eras as Mako, is officially launching on PC on August 5, according to a new trailer highlighted by IGN South Africa.
The upcoming side-scrolling metroidvania Akatori has finally secured an official release date, bringing its vibrant pixel art aesthetic and time-spanning adventure to players soon.
