Ruthless arcade-style slasher, Akane, is making its way to Nintendo Switch on May 17th! Players are able to pre-order the game today on the Nintendo Switch eShop for $4,99 / 4,99€, or if you own another QubicGames title, then for a limited time you can score Akane for 50% off! Most QubicGames titles are included in this deal.

Akane tasks the player with killing as many enemies as possible until your inevitable death approaches. The game’s one hit, one kill mechanic gives Akane a unique take on slashers, making your own player just as vulnerable as your enemies! Fight your way through thugs and unfamiliar adversaries to a backdrop of Mega Tokyo!

Take on five types of enemies: A Yakuza Guy, Tanks, Shooters, Cyber Ninjas, and The Boss. Yakuza Guys are traditional thugs. Tanks require extra hits to defeat. Shooters are long-range attackers who never miss! Cyber Ninjas are killing machines, leaving little vulnerabilities or opportunities to defeat. The Boss, Katsuro, gets stronger over time, depending on how many times he is killed throughout the game, so prepare for a challenge!

Players will need to take advantage of all weaponry (both traditional and nontraditional) to defeat their enemies. Unique katanas, cigarettes which change the way your special skills look, gadgets that provide advantages in battle, and boots that give you the ability to dash in different ways are at your disposal! There are also powerful abilities like the Dragon Slash and Dragon Slayer, giving the player the ability to dash through all opponents in your way and destroy all enemies on the screen, respectively.

Akane is slashing its way onto Nintendo Switch on May 17th 2019! Preorder the game today on the Nintendo eShop, and be sure to check out the brutal gameplay trailer below!
