Akane is an excellent hack-and-slash game. It’s short, but some of the achievements can be a little tricky to get... or maybe I’m just bad at the game. Either way, it’s really fun, and the pixel art looks great. The gameplay feels very satisfying, especially when you start going for bigger and bigger combos or trying to rack up as much Boldness as possible. There’s also something oddly satisfying about smoking a Marlboro while cutting through enemies and blowing them to pieces. Cyber Ninjas and the boss, though? Those sons of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. There isn’t really much else to say. It’s a simple game, but it does what it sets out to do very well, and I had a good time with it.

Very awesome and addictive to unlock gear Also very cool game to play while waiting for other games lobbies. Helps you build adrenaline up. Just wished the devs would update the game. Maybe with some more maps or bosses. But awesome game nonetheless worth buying.

This is just the best damn game. Challenging and super rewarding, balanced and fair, satisfying when you get it right, but not infuriating when you get it wrong. Simple but extremely replayable. Addictive, even. And damn, I got it for £1.99 on sale. Best money I’ve ever spent. (A note for Mac users - this runs on my M5 MacBook Pro running Tahoe 26.6.1. So the banner saying it’s not compatible may be misleading, though I can’t speak for every system)

Some guy made a run based twin-stick with swords instead of guns. You play Crimsonland? Like that. Little like Vampire Survivors also but no autobattler stuff. Most sex parry in all of vidya. What you play is what you get. The whole game is there from the start, just with some unlockables on top that trickle as you're able to get farther in the game. This thing would have gobbled a billion dollars in quarters 30 years ago.

I was pleasantly surprised by how fun and enthralling the gameplay loop is. The mechanics are simple, easy to understand and quite fair, the soundtrack's nice (except for that one beepy song, I'm sorry, but it blows) and it's got the "oh I bet I can go further this time" hook these sorts of games live and die by figured out. A nice bit of progression, too, and some decent variety in the unlocks. I've read some people find it repetitive? And like.. yeah. It's a score-attack game. A really good one at that. Goes for super cheap, too. Definite reccomend.
