Much like the Souls series, Akane wants you to know that your death is inevitable. So, before you abandon their rain-soaked world, you'll want to leave a mark, and ideally, that mark will take the form of many, many dead enemies.
In so far?
Akane is a rather brutal arena arcade slasher based on one-hit-one-kill gameplay mechanics, where you have only one goal - to kill as many opponents as possible before dying. To achieve that goal, you'll pick your way through a bad-ass arsenal of weapons and special skills to face 5 different types of opponents along the way: 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 who never misses, Cyber Ninja, a warrior who abdicated his body to become a killing machine with deadly dash attacks, and finally, there is The Boss - Katsuro, your nemesis who evolves to become stronger and more dangerous with each time he is killed.
You will have katanas, smokes, gadgets, boots, special skills and more to take these enemies down, however, and you can see how the fights will diversify in the trailer below.
Akane is available now on the nintendo eshop.
