Akumi Wars is now available on Steam!
Hey all,
We did it! We officially launched Akumi Wars on Steam!
Thanks to your invaluable playtesting, we've polished Akumi to perfection, and the game is now ready for the world to enjoy. Intergalactic bad guys may feel differently, though.

This full version of Akumi means a fresh game reset. We had to do a new save overwrite in order to fix some bugs that we just couldn’t fix otherwise.
Thank you for helping playtest Akumi and thank you for joining us in this fresh start of Akumi Wars.

Akumi Wars is launching on Steam tomorrow!
Hey all,
It's going down tomorrow.
The full game is finally finished and come daybreak, Akumi Wars is launching on Steam!
Kickstarter backers!
If you are a backer, congrats! You don't need to do anything. Just fire up Steam tomorrow and Akumi Wars will automatically update to the full, final game. The save data format has changed, so everyone will be playing Akumi Wars from a fresh start.
Need your Steam Key or other Akumi Wars rewards?
Get it on BackerKit.
Not a backer?
The full version of the game will be $14.99 on Steam, but we're launching with a 15% discount for the first 7 days. So, if you have any friends who missed the Kickstarter, please give them a heads up.
I can't begin to tell you how excited I am to finally let this bird fly…
Can I be real with you right now? I just finished playing this game again in its entirety, and I am so proud of what we accomplished with such a small team. We put everything we possibly could into Akumi Wars and now we're putting it out into the universe.
But it wasn’t easy. There was no slacking; this was 100% the best work, animation, and art I could possibly put into a project. I legit put everything I had into Akumi Wars, and I know I couldn’t have done it without your support.
Thank you to everyone who helped make Akumi Wars a reality.
Thanks for backing the project, joining the live streams, testing the game, encouraging us through Steam Fest, and making tomorrow's launch of Akumi Wars possible.
