Nice little challenging game. Just as fun as something like Kill the Crows, but with a katana as the main weapon and several different guns that recharge faster based on katana kills.

Akane is a small but extremely well executed arena survival game. It does a very good job of providing a quick fix of action when you just have some minutes to kill (careful or you'll kill hours instead).

The loop of the game consists in fighting an endless horde of enemies, interrupted only by brief boss fights every 100 defeated enemies. Variety comes in the form of a couple different elite enemies, and a good variety of weapons and upgrades that have a meningful effect on playstyle.

The pace of the game is fast and the controls feel very good. You can slash, shoot and do some special moves. It's very satisfying to try to ramp up the combo numbers while juggling goons and elites.

After a death the game lets you restart with zero delay, which makes for a very seamless and pleasing experience overall. In terms of progression there are certain objectives to achieve to unlock weapons and equipment.

A very fun and addictive game, the more you play the more you understand the mechanics till you reach a point were it's a really just a fun casual arcade game
