Akaneiro: Demon Hunters (Little Red Riding Hood in Edo Land)

Recommended Posts

American McGee just released Akaneiro, an action RPG based on Little Red Riding Hood in a feudal Japan setting.

Even though the game was just released, there is still a Kickstarter for it, it's for adding additional systems like co-op, item crafting and iOS and Droid ports.

I've only played it a little and while I don't mind the combat, it seems you can either pay (in in-game money) to resurrect when you die, and it seems to cost more each time, but the alternative is losing all your XP but keeping your items? That doesn't seems like a good thing at all.

You can only heal with the in game currency, picking it up will heal you a bit, which makes a bit more stressful. But what really bothers me is the equipment, many times the differences between two items of different levels is ZERO.

The game is very stylized, like a Japanese ink painting a bit, and the music is ambient Japanese flute music, so it's nice enough.

Has anybody else played this? What do you think?
