Akaneiro: Demon Hunters Critic Reviews

Akaneiro could stand on its own as a $20 game and, in fact, does if you would prefer to skip region unlocking entirely. Being free, however, makes it a much more compelling option. Without a need to spend cash, the whole game is still open to you, without penalty, and it's worth trying out.

Akaneiro: Demon Hunters is not the best Action-RPG you will play in your life, but it’s still a decent game, if not good one. And it’s free. If you love the genre, chances are you can have fun with its simple gameplay. It’s worth a try.

Akaneiro: Demon Hunters is a nice attempt in the free-to-play genre, and is also a good action-RPG. The problem is that if you don’t want to pay a dime, it’s all about mindless grinding over and over again, and the AI assisted co-op it’s not well implemented.

Akaneiro: Demon Hunters is no Diablo III, but it's a surprisingly robust experience and proof that free-to-play gaming doesn't have to be second-rate.

Akaneiro is a good action-RPG, but it's very far from what we expected. It's repetitive and does not present the best face from the free-to-play. We hope the game will better in the coming weeks.

Akaneiro: Demon Hunters is an average game with an invading fremium system. Try it only if you have already play all the others action RPG on the market.

Poor: This is the first adjective that springs to mind in defining Akaneiro.

Akaneiro is absolutely nothing special, either for better or for worse.

It's gorgeous to look at and fun for a short while, but Akaneiro: Demon Hunters is an unvaried grind that wears out its appeal long before the level cap.

If it introduces all the promised improvements we could see a good title, but so far, the offer is quite repetitive. Yes, it's free-to-play, but it needs a lot of 'farming' if we want to unlock all the regions, so if you like the game, you should consider buying the complete experience for $20.

A really repetitive gameplay experience, with poor AI and too much linear combat mechanics.

A hack’n’slash that quickly turns into a grindfest on the same maps over and over again. Unless you’re willing to pay through microtransactions to save yourself a lot of time and effort.

I’d happily grind for hours and hours if Akaneiro had fun combat, entertaining enemies or a great skill system. Unfortunately, it doesn’t, and in place is a barebones action-RPG that feels determined to make me spend money on a game that feels threadbare.

It isn’t that Akaneiro is terrible. It might have been released earlier than it perhaps should have been, lacking gameplay features that would have made its freemium faults less egregious.

With a cryptic business model, one would prefer the web-based F2P version of Akaneiro, if only it wasn't so dull and forcibly repetitive.
