In between playthroughs, Akane can swap out her gear for an assortment of alternative equipment provided that the associated challenges are completed.

It's the year 2121 in Mega-Tokyo and [[PlayerCharacter Akane]] pissed off the {{Yakuza}} with no way out. Now she's making her LastStand against them. [[ExcusePlot That's it, get to building a high score.]]
Akane is armed with a SwordAndGun and must make strategic use of them as almost everyone, including her, is a OneHitPointWonder. As her killcount increases, so too does the enemy density, number of EliteMooks, and difficulty of the BossBattle that takes place between every 100 enemies. In between playthroughs, Akane can swap out her gear for an assortment of alternative equipment provided that the associated challenges are completed.
----
!!''Akane'' provides examples of:
* HundredPercentCompletion: Getting every piece of equipment unlocks the Final Scene. [[spoiler: It's a flashback of Akane as a child when she confronts Master Ishikawa over wiping out her family and kills him in a duel.]]
* AceCustom: Akane's starting katana Kurosawa was specifically forged for her as a gift to her family.
* AchievementSystem: Every piece of equipment has an associated challenge to unlock them. However, only 5 challenges (one for each equipment type) are active at a time and items must be unlocked sequentially.
* BaddieFlattery: Katsuro spends his dying breath complimenting Akane's swordsmanship though noting she still won't make it out alive.
* ChargedAttack: The alternate katanas grant the ability to SpinAttack and [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks throw Akane's sword]] respectively.
* ContractualBossImmunity: The Adrenaline Bar automatically drains when fighting Kurosawa to prevent oneshotting him with [[LimitBreak Dragon Slayer]].
* CyberNinja: They show up as an EliteMook and [[BossBattle Katsuro]] is one. They're all immune to damage until they leave an opening after attacking.
* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: Akane can only slash in the four cardinal directions, but the gun can be aimed anywhere.
* DoNotRunWithAGun: Everyone, including the CyberNinja, stands still when aiming and shooting.
* DuelBoss: Katsuro shows up after every 100 enemies and takes Akane on alone.
* ElevatorActionSequence: ImpliedTrope. The loading screen features Akane waiting in a blood-splattered elevator with 3 dead goons by her feet.
* EliteMooks: 3 types:
** [[GiantMook Tanks]] are big and need 5 katana strikes to kill.
** Shooters take a moment to aim before firing a burst of shots at Akane.
** [[CyberNinja Cyber Ninjas]] are immune to damage (besides Dragon Slayer) until they leave themselves vulnerable after their dash strike.
* {{EMP}}: The Magnetic Pulse Emmitter item releases these with lethal effects by violently displacing the Yakuza's metallic limb implants when Akane is aiming.
* FiringOneHanded: Akane and Katsuro both fire this way as they never let go of their katana.
* {{Handguns}}: Akane's starting gun is a basic pistol.
* KillStreak: Having a higher combo enables faster adrenaline buildup and is one of the things tracked on the scoring screen.
* LastStand: Akane knows there's no way out after pissing off the yakuza and aims to take as many of them down with her as possible.
* LimitBreak: Akane has two:
** Dragon Slash uses 1/3rd of the Adrenaline Bar with Akane dashing and slashing through everything in her path. This technique was taught to her by Master Ishikawa.
** Dragon Slayer uses the full Adrenaline Bar and has Akane SpeedBlitz everyone on-screen. She developed this technique in secret as a child [[spoiler: and uses it to kill Master Ishikawa.]]
* AMinorKidroduction: The tutorial features Akane as a child going through a training session.
* MixAndMatchWeapon: The Katana Gun item is slotted onto a katana's grip which causes bullets to shoot out during a ChargedAttack.
* MoreDakka: The SMG has the most ammo and firerate amongst the guns.
* OneHitKill: The Dragon Slayer technique oneshots everyone on-screen including Tanks and Cyber Ninjas. The only exception is Katsuro as the ability can't be used due to ContractualBossImmunity.
* OneHitPolykill: The magnum can kill 2 enemies at once. The Gravitional Beam Emitter meanwhile deals infinite damage and pierces everyone unless it gets deflected.
* OnlyElectricSheepAreCheap: The double-barrel shotgun is noted as being an extremely rare firearm due to being made of non-synthetic wood.
* ParryingBullets: Akane can deflect bullets by taking a defensive stance or by striking it (though ill-advised) and the Stabilizer Bracelet's FlavorText says it was created to help slice bullets in half. Similarly, the Cyber Ninjas and Katsuro deflect bullets when fired upon unless they're vulnerable.
* RayGun: The Gravitional Beam Emitter fires a ''mining laser'' meant for excavations on the moon with its usage being banned on Earth. [[GameplayandStorySegregation Gameplay-wise though, it just fires a powerful bullet that can be reflected.]]
* RevolversAreJustBetter: The magnum has the best mix of ammo and lethality amongst the guns, being capable of killing 2 {{Mooks}} with a single shot.
* RocketTagGameplay: [[OneHitPointWonder Everyone dies in one hit]] besides Tanks and much of the gameplay is spent managing Akane's various meters (stamina, ammo, adrenaline) while clearing out crowds and not getting hit.
* RuleOfThree: Katsuro leaves himself vulnerable after his 3rd kanata strike or 3rd dash-slash and shoots 3 rounds when firing at Akane.
* ScoringPoints: After dying, there's a score screen showing the number of enemies killed, max combo, and Boldness with a comparison to your best attempts.
* ShortRangeShotgun: Both the regular and [[SawedOffShotgun double-barrel]] shotguns have wide spreads which can be helpful for crowd clearing.
* ShoutOut: Lots of them from the FlavorText and the acheivement names:
** The Scope Visor lets the wearer see [[Anime/DragonballZ over 9000 meters]] with the unlock achievement asking not to be sued.
** The Sprint Shoes mention [[Film/BacktoTheFuture reaching 88 miles per hours in tests]] and the unlock achievement calls it fast enough to time travel.
** The achievement for the Gravitional Beam Emitter is outright named ''Manga/{{Blame}}''
** The achievement for unlocking the SMG is called [[Anime/CowboyBebop YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT.]]
** The achievement for unlocking the double-barreled shotgun is called [[Film/ArmyOfDarkness "THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK!"]]
** One of the cigarette unlock achievements is called [[VideoGame/KillerInstinct CO CO CO COMBO BREAKER!]]
** The achievement for unlocking every gun is called [[Film/DollarsTrilogy A WOMAN WITH NO NAME]].
* SmokingIsCool: Akane keeps a cigarette in her mouth at all times and an equipment slot is dedicated to different smoke packs which [[CosmeticAward do nothing, but change the color of her dash trail.]]
* SpeedBlitz: The [[LimitBreak Dragon Slayer]] technique has Akane go so fast that she's not visible when using it and it's a OneHitKill since no one can react.
* SpinAttack: The ChargedAttack of the 2nd katana Rebi.
* SprintMeter: Rather than the spammable dash, the stamina gauge acts this way for Akane's katana strikes. It recovers quickly when using special techiniques or after a delay of not using the basic attack.
* SuperMovePortraitAttack: Using [[LimitBreak Dragon Slayer]] has a cut-in of Akane glancing around before killing everyone in sight.
* SwordAndGun: Akane and Katsuro both carry a katana and a sidearm.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: The ChargedAttack of the 3rd katana Tadus. It needs to be picked back up after using it though. The FlavorText mentions an incident during a yakuza meeting where one man decapitated 7 others by throwing his sword.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: There are plenty of pedestrians walking around and not paying any mind to the bloodshed happening by them.
* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler: Akane sought out Ishikawa for killing her family and trained under him until she could take vengeance.]]
