Our take on A Fox and His Robot
The store presentation gives equal weight to the escape narrative and the local Coliseum, but the multiplayer offering is specifically one-on-one combat across 12 arenas. The game’s breadth therefore centers on its platforming story campaign and local battles rather than a wider multiplayer format.
What is A Fox and His Robot?
Alpha, one of the last foxes in the universe, escapes Bio-Prison-9 on the hazardous planet Delta 7 with help from an artificial intelligence.
This 2D action-platformer combines jumping and dashing with traversal through biomes using wind, portals, and other abilities. Robot security forces pursue Alpha as he searches for routes through dangerous terrain and investigates the mystery of artificial intelligence.
