Akane | Nintendo Switch Releases | NintendoReporters

 [![Akane](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/akane.jpeg "Akane")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/akane.jpeg)Akane is a brutal arena arcade slasher based on one-hit-one-kill gameplay mechanics where you will:

## [](#face-five-types-of-opponents)Face five types of opponents:

- Yakuza Guy – a common mafia pawn;
- Tank – this is the only villain that will require more than just one katana slash to die;
- Shooter – a sharpshooter with cybernetic enhancements. Pro tip: they 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. Remember however that everybody has their weak point;
- The Boss – Katsuro, your Nemesis who evolves, gets stronger and more dangerous according to the number of times he gets killed.

## [](#complete-missions-to-unlock-new-guns-and-equipment)Complete missions to unlock new guns and equipment:

- Different pistols;
- Katanas, each with their own unique unique abilities;
- Gadgets that grant small but significant improvements in combat;
- Boots that change the dash and the way you move on the screen.

## [](#make-a-good-use-of-your-special-samurai-skills)Make a good use of your special Samurai Skills:

- Dragon Slash – dash forward killing every enemy on your way;
- Dragon Slayer – kill all enemies on the screen.
