Akane is a top-down 2D Action game, in which you must eliminate as many enemies as possible before losing. It's a sword fighting game, with lots of blood, violence, and samurai movie clichés. All mixed with the bright colors and futuristic suburban environments of cyberpunk style.

Mega Tokyo, 2121. A city with a population density of 100,000 inhabitants per square kilometer, made of colossal buildings conglomerates, and megastructures interconnected by streets. Big corporations have enormous power over the city. In the forgotten and abandoned areas, poverty is plentiful. A chaotic jumble of houses and shops. Murders, robberies, and trafficking happen often. The Yakuza extort merchants to pay high fees in exchange for protection.

Akane is a ronin, whose parents were murdered by the mob when she was four years old. She became a lone wanderer, carrying only her katana and a thirst for revenge against every Yakuza member. Years after murdering the 7 mob family leaders of the Rural Areas, Akane started to roam the bowels of Mega Tokyo and fight the city's criminals.

She was cornered by a horde of henchmen in the suburbs of Mega Tokyo. Tonight, she will die! But how many enemies will she take with her before the inevitable fate?

Critical Hit

by Darryn Bonthuys

8.5 / 10

“Akane always ends in violence, bloodshed and the death of the titular hero. It's the journey towards that inevitable conclusion, that makes this retro-styled experience one of the finest examples of its genre as it deftly weaves a subtle strategy with some of the tightest action on the market today.”

“Akane is a game that does one thing and does it exceptionally well; its biggest flaw is that there simply isn't enough of it. Give me more damn it!”

70 / 100

“Akane is unapologetically fast, tough, and challenging. It’s setting and general yakuza/cyberpunk themes mesh incredibly well together in telling the player everything they need to know about the games’ last stand. ”
