Beat'm up
|
Ane San is quite a unique side scrolling beat'em up game by Nec Avenue.
It features a group of three (which later expand to five) rough ladies with strong
attitudes on a journey of revenge against an evil Yakuza gang of bikers
(often referred as the Japanese mafia) exclusively composed of women.
The three main fighters are the thin Ai, the athletic Chika and
the strong Makoto. Interestingly, the player has to pick one of the
remaining girl if one of them die in combat. Each one of our five heroines
have a standard punch, a kick and a flying kick in her arsenal of moves.
They can also grab their opponents by the hair and pull them out until they
finally... die. A special attack can be executed by pressing the two
action buttons at the same time. At the end of each beaten stage, our girls
get a well deserved rest in their bedroom where they can buy items to
decorate the room and improve their fighting skills, or participate in special
(and odd) mini-games. The first one gets two opponents to fight in an
ugly-face contest by actively bashing the D-pad.

Ane San is such an odd and yet unique game that reminds other
wacky gems such as Ai Cho Aniki. Graphics, without being bad,
are especially ugly in their design - but it was obviously a deliberate
choice by the game designers and this certainly gives the game its
distinctive and unique gruesome look. Sadly, the gameplay doesn't
provide the player with any lasting entertainment value. Controls are
responsive but the various waves of enemies throughout the game are
always the same and, worse of all, bosses are incredibly easy to beat
- a couple of punches are usually enough to take them down. You will
most certainly finish the game the first time you play. The various
musics are excellent and were composed by Koji Hayama, also
responsible for the unusual Cho Aniki soundtrack. All in all,
Ane San has a nice curiosity factor but it doesn't really work
as a game - except maybe for the best part, the ugly-face-mini-game.
