We are a small dedicated group (27 active members, currently) started more than a year ago.

The most peculiar thing in Akatsuki? Well, apart the fact we really like to give away and win games, we have not implemented a ratio system: instead we have 3-months cycles in the group, with the aim to "help" unlucky members who have won less during a cycle and "asks for more" to lucky members as well.

We are now recruiting a few users, especially since some old fellows left after the approval of new (very light!) rules that asks group members to play the games they win in Akatsuki.
You may be asking; why that?
Well, one of our primary goals with this new approach is to give more winning chances to people that REALLY wants to get specific games.
After all, because of the high quality of games being given away in the group, we do not want that people enter giveaways only to get a +1 in their library, or because they simply like to win and no more than that, or to farm cards or similar reasons.
We want winners that really DESIRE the games they win, they want to play them or at least try them.

We won't lie: being in Akatsuki is somewhat demanding. We really care for the quality of giveaways being gifted here and we really want all members to act with utter honesty. Also, we strongly believe in giving away only unbundled games, it's our "core business" here and we are truly committed to this aspect. Finally, we are very selective when choosing new members.
But if you enjoy donating and winning awesome games; if you like to play the games you win; if you want to live this new adventure together with your fellows in a cozy and helpful group; if you are capable of acting always respectfully;
then don't be too much scared by the wall of text while checking our Rules at the link below. Done? Well, I know, you can be scared, now! :-)

But if you survived, read our minimum requirements for application to our group:
you must be at least level 6 here on SG,
you must be well inclined to give away with generosity nice games,
you have to apply for the group by writing the word AKATSUKI in a comment.
At the end of the recruitment phase, we'll examine all candidates and choose those the best users that we think best fit our group.

NB: in the past we made a few exceptions for users with lesser level values on SG or average profiles, if they showed strong motivations to start donating high quality gifts.
So, who knows, if you feel you really want to join, well, try to talk your way in!

NB1: we are looking for 3 new members, though if we can’t find the right ones, we’ll skip for the time being

a little GA for all

Bundled games of any kind and variant are NOT valid and this applies to all games present in HB Monthly too. To determine whether a game is allowed as a monthly gift or not: it must NOT be present in the SG list https://www.steamgifts.com/bundle-games NOR in the "bundle" category listed on website IsThereAnyDeal (ITAD): https://isthereanydeal.com/specials/#/filter:bundle (with the exception of all Chrono.gg listings).
A catalog is also created/updated which lists some special bundles which are NOT valid in Akatsuki:

  • All Square Enix Holiday Surprise Boxes
  • All Square Enix Easter Surprise Boxes
  • All G2A Deal bundles (like this)
