Gameplay
Hacha Mecha Fighter is a cute 'em up that features anthropomorphic animals shooting each other while navigating on barely fitting planes.[4] Up to two players can play simultaneously. The first player controls Kawauso, an otter while the second player controls Tsuchibuta, an aardvark, who alongside numerous offspring of their own must navigate various landscapes and defeat similar enemies. A special attack that increases the player characters' sizes and improve their attacks are available in limited quantities. Their ammunition consists of numerous types of live sea animals and vegetables, which vary in size and damage and can be improved by power-ups. Fruits can be collected for extra points.[5]
Reception
The A.V. Club praised the game for its stylized graphics and unique gameplay, noting it to be an underrated game in the cute 'em up genre while criticizing its difficulty.[5]
