    I think media, not just anime, in general needs to be less afraid of killing characters. Main characters, secondary characters, people in the background. I still remember back in the day where people were impressed with how many characters died in Game of Thrones and Akane ga Kill.

    Kill 'Em All , Akane ! This wonderful little indie game (Akane) is an arcade arena slasher/shooter. Your goals are simple - you need to kill as many enemies as possible (101 (1 being a boss) in each "level/stage" to be precise) in order to fullfill your destiny and get your revenge ! Ah yes - another revenge story ! Tale as old as time ! But this one is rather short and simple - pretty straightforward & arguably the least interesting part of this game.

    It pains me to leave a negative review, but this one has to be said. Akane is marketed as an arcade-style game, and when I hear "arcade," I expect fast, replayable, high-score-chasing fun with plenty of variety. Unfortunately, this game delivers almost none of that. After about an hour, the gameplay loop becomes painfully repetitive. The same enemy patterns, the same screen-clearing cycles, and very little to keep you coming back. The power-up system is especially disappointing. Most of them…

    Good game, even better potential. The first experience you have with this game is great, it jumps you right into the action with minimal backstory and a short and direct tutorial to put you up to date. The default controls are great and make sense for their purpose, but if you have any problem, it lets you configure them your way. The combat is fluid, and the cooldowns you get pair well with the high tempo of the game, always keeping the player in situations of extreme action. The art…

    Akane is EXHILARATING The game is only 105 MB in size, has one map and no story. But that is all you will ever need. Akane is very short and simple but requires skill and patience to complete because you will die in 1 hit. The beautiful pixel art and cyberpunk setting make you hungry to understand Akane's life, but all you get are Easter Eggs and weapon fluff descriptions to puzzle an incomplete image of the world. The gameplay is thrilling and the risks at higher levels put you in the…

    I have to recommend this game because despite everything it is priced well and I had fun playing it. But I will say that this game is worth its price rather exactly. It is a game with a very solid base gameplay loop, it was fun but everything on top of that feels slightly off. Most of the unlocks are not satisfying to get and usually worse than what you already have. And the game is built on a combo system that does not fully mesh with actual gameplay.

    So some years passed…I first played Akane on my Nintendo Switch way back when I got it a couple of years ago — one of those random downloads that somehow ended up being the perfect game for on the go. Short rounds, tight combat, neon chaos, and a soundtrack that just gets it. It instantly hooked me. You know, that era when I told myself I’d only play it on the go and not get addicted? Yeah, that went great. It was the perfect pick-up-and-slice arcade game for bus rides, lunch breaks, and…

    This is just the best damn game. Challenging and super rewarding, balanced and fair, satisfying when you get it right, but not infuriating when you get it wrong. Simple but extremely replayable. Addictive, even. And damn, I got it for £1.99 on sale. Best money I’ve ever spent. (A note for Mac users - this runs on my M5 MacBook Pro running Tahoe 26.6.1. So the banner saying it’s not compatible may be misleading, though I can’t speak for every system)

    Some guy made a run based twin-stick with swords instead of guns. You play Crimsonland? Like that. Little like Vampire Survivors also but no autobattler stuff. Most sex parry in all of vidya. What you play is what you get. The whole game is there from the start, just with some unlockables on top that trickle as you're able to get farther in the game. This thing would have gobbled a billion dollars in quarters 30 years ago.

    If this game let me move while I was shooting and didn't have a stamina bar it'd be an easy recommendation. It's so close to being good but ends up being infuriating in a way where the mechanics of the game and the type of the game it is are at odds with each other.

Controls felt great, combat was tight, near instant restarts, Music fit the theme perfectly and added to the futuristic ambiance while giving the Player a good rythym to fight to. The difficulty and complexity of the game felt perfect. Incredible game. Worth the full price.
