Adam Beck · Sep 02, 2026 Reviewed on Switch 2Read full review - Stunningly beautiful in its recreation of 80s and 90s anime, Orbitals is a fun co-op adventure that doesn’t quite match the best of the genre thanks to its more constrained gameplay.

About the game
Team up as Maki and Omura, two inseparable explorers with a whole lot more determination than experience. You’ll brave the perils of space in search of help for their crumbling station home, now trapped within a supernatural cosmic storm.
Orbitals captures the warmth and style of classic Japanese anime, brought to life with hand-crafted cinematic cutscenes from Studio Massket, full Japanese and English voice acting, and an original soundtrack that channels the magic of the era.
Built from the ground up for asymmetric 2-player co-op, either in local split-screen or online, Orbitals rewards smart teamwork and clear communication. Use each character’s unique tools to open the path forward, overcome danger, and meet out-of-this-world creatures and characters on a bombastic adventure.
