I’m Kayla. I beat my head against hard games, then I cheat a little when my thumbs say “nope.” Afterimage on PC? Gorgeous, tough, and very fair—until it isn’t. So yes, I tried cheats. I’ll tell you what I used, what broke, and what was actually worth the hassle.
PS: I have an even deeper, screenshot-packed breakdown posted on TabletPCBuzz—check it out here if you want every gritty detail.
I played on Steam, Windows 11, mid-range laptop (Ryzen 5, RTX 3060). Coffee on the desk. Cat on the keyboard. You get the vibe.
Quick take (because time is a thing)
- I used two tools: WeMod (trainer app) and a Cheat Engine table from a known forum.
- Best cheats for me: unlimited health, unlimited jumps, edit gold, and game speed.
- Worth it for exploring and testing builds. Not great if you want the pure grind.
- Backup your save first. I mean it.
What I actually downloaded
I went with WeMod first. It’s an app that lists games and adds toggles—no single file sketchiness. It felt cleaner than grabbing a random .zip from a pop-up party, you know?
For anyone curious, the official page for the Afterimage cheats and trainer on WeMod shows every toggle available and the hotkeys they map to.
Then I tested a Cheat Engine table for Afterimage from a trainer forum. No links here, but it wasn’t some shady mirror. I scanned both with Windows Defender and Malwarebytes. No hits.
For extra peace of mind, I skimmed the troubleshooting threads over on TabletPCBuzz, where plenty of laptop modders swap notes on safe trainer setups.
Also, I didn’t pirate the game. Paid on Steam. Cheats don’t fix a guilty conscience.
The toggles I used (and why)
- Unlimited Health: I used this on two nasty boss runs with long walk backs. It saved my sanity on spike rooms too.
- Unlimited Jumps: This one’s spicy. It let me hop up to high ledges and peek at areas way early. Felt like debug mode. Made screenshots fun.
- Edit Gold: I bumped my gold to buy a couple of shards and try a weird build. Loved the freedom.
- Game Speed: I slowed time for tight dodge windows. Then I sped up backtracking across those long, quiet zones.
On WeMod, I had hotkeys like F1 for health, F2 for jumps, F5 for game speed. One press, done. Cheat Engine took longer—find the values, lock them, test a bit. It’s more work but more precise.
Real moments where cheats helped
- The long hallway with spikes and tiny platforms: I toggled unlimited jumps just to cross, then turned it off to keep the next room fair. Felt like a little “skip line” pass.
- A boss with a two-phase pattern and a tiny heal window: I slowed time just a smidge. Dodges clicked. It still felt earned.
- Trying a new build without hours of farming: I added gold, bought gear, swapped a shard, and tested in the next area. That quick loop was nice.
You know what? I didn’t expect to keep turning cheats on and off like a lamp. But I did. I used them like tools, not a full-time cape.
Stuff that went wrong (because of course)
- Softlock scare: I used unlimited jumps to hop over a bridge before a mini cutscene. The next room didn’t trigger right. My map showed weird gaps. I had to reload a save.
- Trainer mismatch: After a patch, one trainer option stopped working and crashed when I hit F2. WeMod updated a week later and it was fine. I kept tabs on fixes in the WeMod community discussion on Afterimage cheats and it saved me some guesswork.
- Wonky physics: With jumps on, the camera got twitchy in tall rooms. Felt like I was clipping. I turned it off mid-air. That was… exciting.
- Power creep: With health locked, I got lazy. My timing slipped. When I went back to “real” play, I got wrecked for a bit.
- I ran into the exact same patch-versus-trainer headache while testing another flashy action game, Stellar Blade—my full trainer report is here—so I’m starting to think this is just modern PC life.
Safety notes I wish someone told me
- Back up your saves. Mine were in AppData/LocalLow. I just searched for “Afterimage” and copied the folder to my desktop.
- Don’t run trainers while streaming or with overlays fighting each other. My FPS dipped until I closed a fancy screen recorder.
- Watch for “one-hit kill.” It can mess up scripted events. I avoid it now.
- If your antivirus barks at a trainer, don’t ignore it. Scan first. Then decide.
- My “backup-first, scan-second” ritual originally came from working with another indie, Realms of Pixel—the utility guide that taught me is here.
Who should use cheats for Afterimage?
- Busy folks who want to explore without slogging.
- Players who need help with timing or want to test builds.
- Screenshot nerds who want to reach pretty spots fast.
If you crave the clean, hard fight—skip cheats. The game sings when you learn the dance.
The small digression: accessibility matters
I get wrist pain some nights. Slowing time and easing jumps let me keep playing a game I love. That’s not cheating the joy; that’s keeping it alive. Little things matter when hands get tired and life gets loud.

Verdict: Worth it, with guardrails
Cheats made Afterimage more fun for me, not less—when I used them like a seatbelt, not a rocket. I kept them off for most fights. I turned them on for dumb jumps, long runs, and tests. That balance felt right.
Would I recommend downloading cheats for Afterimage on PC? Yes, from a trusted app or a well-known forum, with scans, and only after a save backup. Flip them on for the rough edges. Flip them off when the music swells.
And hey—don’t let a tough room end a great night. Sometimes F1 is self-care.
