Set in turn of the century Japan, the game finds a battle-hardened “Red” fighting demons, wolves and mythical monsters. Set to be released in 2012 on mobile and online platforms. Publisher: American McGee/Spicy Horse Pros: + Japanese sumi-e inspired art style. + Plays in the browser. + Skills not specific to class. + Overall easy gameplay. + Multiplatform. Cons: - Not currently multiplayer. – Doesn’t use numerical changes in stats. – Limited customization. – Gameplay difficulty is hard to determine. Overview Akaneiro: Demon Hunters OverviewVeteran game designer American McGee (Quake, Alice, Grimm) and Spicy Horse (Alice: Madness Returns) are set on delivering players a uniquely enthralling free to play action role-playing experience. Akaneiro: Demon Hunters will transport you to a world realized in a striking visual style inspired by Japanese ink, watercolor and woodblock illustration. We’ve dug deep into the history and folklore of Japan when designing our scenarios and characters.

Akaneiro provides players with a free to play ARPG of depth, blended seamlessly with the speed and intensity of a pure action title. Combat is fast and unrelenting, but you can sway the tide with careful selection of abilities and equipment. A multitude of character building paths are available, though we’ve avoided being overly prescriptive, ensuring you can find the best balance of abilities and equipment for your personal play style. The game world is separated in to Regions, which represent a quadrant of Yomi Island. Each Region contains several Areas, each presenting a different environment style and introducing new enemy and boss types. An area contains several missions, forming a small story arc. We want to provide players with an ARPG that doesn’t ever end, and doesn’t have you waiting around for a year on an expansion that you finish in 2 weeks. After release, we’ll strive to push the boundaries of our world further with each passing month. Akaneiro has been in development since mid 2011. Our Closed Beta has been running since November 2012. Our target platforms are Windows, Mac OS X, Android/iOS Tablet. Both the dedicated PC client & web version will enter open beta in January 2013.
