7.5/10 Full-Fleshed brain-dead entertainment. I say it in a really good way, this kind of experience is really necessary for people like me. When you are tired because of work, college or whatever, and you want to play something that doesn´t require nothing more than pure reflexes and gives you an explosion of dopamine. That's what this game is, at least to me, and I could really appreciate it. It´s like a break for the brain when you want to play but you don´t have the mental energy to commit or engage yourself with a deep-story game.

Slice 'n Dice 🗡️ Precise and deadly swordplay ✅ Agile and majestic movement ✅ An addictive gameplay loop ✅ Akane is an arcade game at its core, pushing players to try again and again, keeping them eager to beat their high score and surpass their own limits. Even though you’re essentially playing the same level repeatedly, the challenges, unlock system and super satisfying gameplay keep the experience fresh. Become a deadly cyber-ninja, delivering swift death to your enemies in your final moments as you gracefully dance through the neon streets of Mega-Tokyo. Your fingers will cramp, your hands will ache, but that won't stop you from slicing 'n dicing.

Girl goes on a suicide mission; gets what she wants. We enter her story on the final chapter. I was left wanting to know more about Akane, about the life she lived that lead her to this ending. Controls felt great, combat was tight, near instant restarts, Music fit the theme perfectly and added to the futuristic ambiance while giving the Player a good rythym to fight to. The difficulty and complexity of the game felt perfect. Incredible game. Worth the full price.

Gameplay is good but unforgiving. If you blink you die and have to start over. Great atmosphere and soundtrack.
