Fun Bite Sized Action

You get exactly what you pay for. Not a whole lot of complexity in enemy design and weapons but what there is, is insanely enjoyable. Enjoyed in small bursts, it's a lot of fun.

Play it for the game and soundtrack

The game dose what it sets out to do and doesn't hide anything. Easy to play, but difficult to master. Back story in toutorial is rather weak, but the game pops and the music slaps. Has just the right amount of unlockables to keep you trying and not seem daunting.

Its okay

Soundtrack is nice Graphical wise, this arena slasher/shoter presents in fine pixel-look, which isnt a total mess. Nice lightning effects are also in but in that kind of way, that these arent distracting or pulling you out of the game. It is a simple arena slashe: you find yourself in an arena with endlessly spawning mobs. After killing a specific amount of them, a boss spawns. One hit and you die. Thats all. Some unlockables tied to ingame achievemnts, ike reaching a certain combo level and such, to unlock some other weapons or other items which will help you. Sadly, I cant give it full five stars. I hate aiming for shooting with a controller in such games. Especially if your startgun only has a ver VERY limited amount of shots. So you HAVE to hit someone with it. Oh, and while aiming you cant move. Obviously. Thats garbage. You can navigate back in the menues with the "B" button. You have to navigate to the menue option "Back". Who came up with that? Yeah nice, I have the option, but why cant I use the controller to get back with hitting a button like in every other game with controller support? Pressing a stick to activate special moves isnt really intuitive for me. Granted: it isnt the stick for movement. So thats something I guess. All in all, it is a nice game for ten minutes. Since it doesnt really have a story and "levels" in that kind of way (it is an arena thing) boredom will strike fast. I recommend buying only the soundtrack. Because that one is awesome!

EXCELLENT stress ball

I really don't have much more to say about Akane, pure magic, pure gold. Perfect game for dead times or when you want to erase your problems from your brain, plus the game looks good, nice music and the controls work perfectly in my opinion. -You want to challenge yourself? Akane. -You bored?? Akane. -You worried??? Akane. -You hate your neighbours but you love Cyberpunk genre?????????? AKANE.

Perfect example of style over substance

It's a very simple game: you just try to survive as long as possible in an arena while maybe doing a (frankly limited) amount of side objectives. Despite this simplicity, the game is very enjoyable due to the aesthetics and gameplay alone
