Akane is a brutal arena arcade slasher based on one-hit-one-kill gameplay mechanics, where the gamer has only one goal – to kill as many opponents as possible before dying. To achieve that goal, players have a diversified arsenal of weapons and special skills at their disposal – all to face different types of opponents along the way.

AKANE MAIN FEATURES:

•    Five types of opponents:
–    Yakuza Guy – a common mafia pawn.
–    Tank – the only villain that will require more than one katana slash to die.
–    Shooter – a sharpshooter with cybernetic enhancements. Protip: these guys never miss.
–    Cyber Ninja – a warrior who abdicated his body to become a killing machine. His dash attacks are deadly and his defense seems impenetrable. But remember: everybody has a weakness.
–    The Boss – Katsuro, your nemesis who evolves to become stronger and more dangerous with each time he is killed.
•    A large arsenal of diversified guns and equipment:
–    Katanas, each with its own unique abilities.
–    Cigarettes that change the aesthetics of your special skills.
–    Gadgets that grant small-but-significant improvements in combat.
–    Boots that change your dash and the way you move on-screen.
•    Special skills and moves:
–    Dragon Slash – dash forward, killing every enemy in your way.
–    Dragon Slayer – kill all enemies on the screen.

Akane is now available for download on the Nintendo eShop (https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/akane-switch/). More information about the game can be found on the publisher’s official website, Facebook and Twitter.
