Free Akai Katana games download, free download full version, I've played a bunch of Akai Katana, and I enjoy it, but I'm still not exactly sure how it all works. The game struggles to explain its intricate mechanics to the player, even with a tutorial video (Pro Tip: Hit "B" at the title screen). What I've gleaned is that there are two modes of fire that draw two different types of resources from enemies. One type can be spent to summon a phantom to fight for you, and when you deactivate the phantom the other type is spent to send giant swords -- the titular Blood Katanas ,flying across the screen causing massive damage and earning massive point bonuses for you.So there is a rhythm, a cadence to the gameplay. Fill one meter, switch to the other fire mode, fill another meter, summon phantom, unleash hell, repeat. Oh, and you have to dodge bullets all the while. It's an amusing affair that grows on you the more you play.
But it's not quite enough to land Akai Katana in the upper echelon of 2D shooters. Ikaruga is cleverer. Sine Mora is more beautiful. The chunky vehicles remind me of Donpachi, but Akai Katana doesn't have a strong visual identity of its own. Enemy designs lack personality and too many opportunities for dazzling eye candy are missed. free download full version, Free Akai Katana games download full version.
