* FlechetteStorm: Using magic scrolls, Akane can summon large quanity of kunais to rain down on her enimes. Dalasheem also can summon multiple kunais at you.

'''''Akane the Kunoichi''''' is a [[{{Retraux}} retro-styled]] PlatformGame.
The title character, Akane, is a [[{{Ninja}} kunoichi]] who serves (and is in love with) the samurai Goro. When he gets kidnapped by the evil Hiromi, Akane sets off to [[SaveThePrincess rescue him]]. The game features fifteen levels, divided into five acts (with the third level of each act featuring a boss fight).
The game was developed by Haruneko (the company of Italian indie developer Giovanni Simotti). It was released in 2011 for Xbox 360 (being part of the Xbox Live Indie Games program). It was later ported to Windows (releasing on Steam and Desura) and iOS. Haruneko later released ''VideoGame/AmazingPrincessSarah'', a sort of SpiritualSuccessor.
----
!!Tropes included are:
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Some of the bosses have to be hit in the face. One of them shields his face when not attacking, so you have to time it right.
* BossBattle: Each of the five acts has a boss battle as the main feature of its third and final level. Each boss uses different mechanics.
* BottomlessMagazines: Akane never runs out of kunais to throw. (However, there's also an achievement called "Kunais aren't cheap!" for ''not'' using them.)
* CollapsingCeilingBoss: The third boss, in addition to more normal attacks, also causes spikes to fall from the ceiling, which you must dodge. It's made a little more difficult by the fact that the fight occurs in running water (which carries you slowly along if you aren't moving).
* ExcusePlot: The plot is deliberately simple, and there's no text or dialogue -- just a short cutscene at the beginning and another at the end.
* FlunkyBoss: Hiromi, the game's villain, does not fight Akane directly. Rather, she stands on top of a platform while the area below her gradually fills with other, lesser enemies (including some which must be dodged rather than killed). She is defeated by running up an opposite wall and throwing kunais at her.
* GoldenEnding: If you've got all the bonus collectables by the time you rescues Goro, he starts to reciprocate Akane's affection for him, and they all live happily ever after. Otherwise, he just gets rescued and that's it.
* GreenHillZone: The Akamatsu Plains stages fit this model. They're the first (and easiest) of the game's five acts, and they're brighter and more colourful than subsequent environments.
* HappilyEverAfter: Invoked by name if you get the GoldenEnding.
* IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: Akane's love for her master Goro is not reciprocated, and even rescuing him doesn't necessarily do the trick. Only if you've collected all the collectables first does Goro return Akane's affection.
* LethalLavaLand: The fifth and final act features a lot of lava, although it seems to be more a decorative choice by the villain for her manor than a a consequence of natural volcanism.
* TheLostWoods: The third act (Nocturne Woods). This act introduces natural hazards (specifically, waterfalls and streams that carry you away) in addition to the regular enemies.
* {{Ninja}}: Naturally. Besides Akane herself, most of the enemies she fights are also ninjas of some description. Some just try to charge her, but others can throw kunai like she does (albeit only one at a time and much slower).
* PacifistRun: Possible for some levels, and there's an achievement for doing it. That said, it is not possible for the game as a whole (since you have to kill bosses, at least).
* SaveThePrincess: As in many of the classic games that it emulates, the objective is to rescue someone (although in this case, it's Akane's master rather than a princess).
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: The fourth act (Northern Mountains) features patches of snow/ice on the ground which preserve momentum, making it easy to slip off the edge of a platform by accident (or be slid off one by an enemy hit). Additionally, the third act (Nocturne Forest) features a flowing water which pushes you along if you're standing still, which has similar effect.
* SortingAlgorithmOfMortality: The only enemy you can't kill are the dogs, who completely ignore any attacks. In gameplay terms, they basically function as a trap to be dodged rather than an enemy to fight.
* SubordinateExcuse: Akane is in love with the samurai Goro, whom she serves. Rescuing him from his kidnapper is the point of the game. If you get all the collectables before rescuing him, he falls in love with Akane and they live happily ever after.
* WeaponizedHeadgear: One of the regular enemies throws a conical hat. It works rather like a boomerang, so (unlike the kunais thrown by ninja enemies) you have to watch out for it as it returns as well as when it's thrown.
