weeb name short game
Refreshing action game where the story doesn't evoke anything, but has frantic gameplay accompanied by small self-improvement challenges resulting in a nice replay factor.
Fun but shallow, I don't like the feeling of the slash aiming at where you're facing, but the gun stuff feels good. Mostly makes we want to play Hotline Miami again.
Okay it's kinda like if Hyper Light Drifter was a horde/wave survival game in modern japan? :slaps roof: you can fit so much fucking Great Soundtrack in this bad boy. Not sure if there's an ending or not, really enjoyed my time with it.
A very solid arcade game with sweet aesthetics.
Unlocking everything is honestly a pain in the butt because plenty of requirements are RNG based. I'd personally rather go for high scores than "kill X mob with a special move while at 50+ combo", but I still did it because I like the gameplay.
Also, smoking isn't cool, but Akane wants to die anyways.

A fine little arcade slasher
Very simple but hard arcade slasher, nice to play in small doses.
Fun for short games now and then. It's a game I'll play for a couple rounds while having a break, and it's perfect for that.
Genuinely a fun and stylized game, just gets a little repetitive with it all being the same enemies and the same map every time.
Uma mulher, um objetivo e uma chance.
Akane consegue fazer muito com pouco.
Não tenho muito o que dizer além de elogiar esse jogo por ser mecanicamente simples, direto ao ponto e, o mais importante: divertido.
Pra ser bem sincero, minha única crítica é que os desafios/conquistas não podem ser obtidos fora de ordem, o que torna meio chata a tarefa de repetir um feito específico só porque naquele momento ele não era importante. Isso me soa como uma oportunidade perdida de deixar o jogador escolher como quer se desafiar e recompensá-lo pelos seus feitos.
É muito bom ver um jogo indie brasileiro fazendo tão bonito.

Super fun core gameplay but one hit and you start over system. Overall very vibe and satisfying, you get new unlocks after doing certain things successfully, but there isn't A LOT of that, but still good to mix things up a little.
Jugué un rato, lo marco como retired porque por ahora no planeo seguir jugando, pero capaz en un futuro lo podría retomar.
Cyberpunk arena combat game where you fight a wave of 100 enemies before the boss enemy appears, killing them starts the next wave. You have a sword, gun, block, and dash move and can do two special attacks when your adrenaline meter fills. You can unlock different swords with new abilities, guns, shoes to change your dash style, accessories, and cigarettes to change your dash color by completing different challenges. Fun well made simple game. More options would be nice just to make some custom runs by changing up enemy types, effects, skill, or enemy amounts.
Picked this up super cheap and was pleasantly surprised. I don't have time to get good at it, but the brief rounds of frantic ultra-violence ending in my horrible death are a good laugh.
fun, was worth the like 1 or 2 $ it cost me, has a replay value of a few days (or week if you're some kind of completionist) but that's it.
fun!
great time waster
fun core gameplay but gets repetitive really quick because of some stupid decisions, like katana zero but worse.
Yo this game fucks so hard.
Not much to it but it's still a damn good time.
Not much to it but it's still a damn good time.
Gameplay wise it's amazing. Would get a higher rating if it contained more than one level though.
Like Katana Zero if Katana Zero was a very good videogame.
Got it super cheap, killed a few hours with it. Simple arcade fun.
Um jogo com uma estética muito bonita é com uma gameplay com certa dificuldade , mas fácil de pegar e com uma boa trilha sonora, que da para ser jogada as vezes, mas não por períodos tão longo de tempo , acaba se saturando após uma quantidade de repetições, mas vale a experiência.
Great arcade experience, only negative side is a little bit of stuttering on Switch when you perform your special move

Akane fucking rules. Pure high-score-grubbing arcade rush.
Remember when we all learned the term Skinner Box to describe empty feedback loops? Once I set down my cynicism and stopped over-intellectualizing my experience with this game, I realized how good it's been to have in my life.
There's nothing more to Akane than being thrown into an arena and mowing down enemies. All life is subject to a one-hit kill, including yours. You're armed with a katana that you can swing to your stamina's content, your choice of 1 of 6 unlockable guns, and a couple of special moves. However you wish to play, every single press of the button and its corresponding animation and sound effect is satisfying to the gut. The WHOOSH of the sword slicing a rando in half. The BOOM of the laser gun one-shotting an enemy heavy after blasting through 10 guys in a row. The SHING-SHING-SHING of parrying a set of 3 enemy bullets as you run towards the shooter. Goddamn, it all feels good. The story is just a quick table set to let you know you're on a revenge mission, and after you get your ass kicked the 12th time, you'll very much be on one yourself. It works. The missing half-star is reserved for only the most special of perfect experiences, but don't hold that against Akane.
Having such a reliable test of concentration at the ready on my Switch has been an improvement to my recent days. I never fail to slip past the cartoonish bloodshed and right into a zen flow state every session. Akane is a treat that is equal parts serotonin hit and sense of accomplishment to pick me up throughout the day.

Akane is an underappreciated little thing. I care for it dearly.
Largely you can tell the developers cared that they were making Akane even in aspects that aren't fully fleshed out, such as the story or physical presentation of the world: it isn't the most illustrious game in terms of budget, yet it still doesn't stutter or falter in delivering what it wants to.
It's a cute little package. The sound design & soundtrack are excellent and do a great job at vacuum-sealing the aesthetic of putting you in a cyberpunk murder-trance.

The biggest issue with this game is that there's not enough of it. The gameplay is fast, responsive, and gets addicting but with only one stage and one boss I wish there was more to this game. At least it's well worth the $5 price tag.
