Akane is the 2nd game I have played on my steam deck and I feel like this was just made for it. The arcade style combat is just a treat.

Hardly any story for this game but that is fine as this is not needed.

The art style is right up my alley. I'm here for the cyberpunk art style, The music in Akane is a great lofi synth score.
I think it is safe to say the artistic style of this game is for me.

The gameplay is fantastic and feels great.
Very rewarding and feels like a dumbed down version of Hades, nothing wrong with that.

This game is great and for $7.50 it's an easy purchase everyone should play it.


Also the 65hrs isn't the real time I put it in sleep mode and steam still counted the hours. I am unsure how many real hours I've played

Very fun and satisfying gameplay held back by a baffling combo system whose timer is so short it punishes you for playing "too cool" and getting multikills with the same specials that combos feed, because a cleared screen means a reset combo if the next enemy takes too long to show up. Plus weapon specials take time to charge, which is time not killing, which kills your combos.

This along with multiple unlocks being tied in this system makes replaying again and again to go faster become less satisfying instead of more.

There are good indie games, and there are games like this that pretend to be good, but they are still crap, under the beautiful cover of reviews. From the gameplay, clearing out the same pixelated yakuza. The controls suck, both on the gamepad and on the keyboard.

Есть хорошие инди игры, а есть игры, как эта, которые мимикрируют под хорошие, но то еще говно, под красивой оболочкой отзывов. Из геймплея зачистка одних и тех же пиксельных якудза. Управление сосет, что на геймпаде, что на клавиатуре.
