GACHIAKUTA: BREAKOUT

GACHIAKUTA: BREAKOUT is a survival action RPG from Com2uS based on the hit anime Gachiakuta, which began as a manga in Weekly Shonen Magazine. It recreates the series’ world in full 3D with cel-shaded visuals that match the anime’s distinctive style. The game was first shown under the working title GACHIAKUTA: The Game.

The story follows Rudo, a boy who survives in the slums by scavenging through rubbish and faces constant discrimination. Falsely accused of a crime he didn’t commit, he is thrown down into the Pit, a place everyone fears. There he meets the cleaner Enjin, learns the truth about his world and awakens a power that draws out the soul of discarded objects and turns their value into a weapon.

The game follows the anime closely while adding its own direction and action sequences. Outside the story, the polluted zones and No Man’s Land of the Pit are full of trash beasts, outlaws and valuable discarded objects. You head into these dangerous areas, beat your enemies, grab what you can and get back to headquarters safely, with experience and items feeding into character growth.

Rudo, Enjin, Zanka and Riyo each have their own weapons and fighting styles, and boss fights include a clash with Jabber. It supports Xbox Play Anywhere, so one digital purchase covers Xbox Series X|S and the Xbox PC app.
