What is Akatori?

Akatori is a 2D metroidvania action-platformer developed by Contrast Games and published by Games Harbor. Play as Mako, a battle monk raised in the Firebird Temple, journeying through five unique biomes to stop the Amber Storms corrupting all living things.

A mysterious red bird sealed inside your staff doubles as weapon and traversal tool—glide from heights, slide down slopes, deflect attacks, and uncover secrets. Crisp pixel art blends with smooth 3D backdrops across a story about inner strength, fate, and a great mystery.
