Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed (2013)

At the end of the day, the game’s poor gameplay and dragging dialog outweigh the game’s narrative. If you are looking for a vampire tale or want to revisit the game, it would be better to watch a YouTube playthrough than spend your time or money on this game. For the game itself, we give it a 4; if we were to doc points for censorship, we’d drop it to a 3 maybe a 2.

Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed has not aged well, but if you can put up with the game's issues, you can lose yourself in its absurdity

AKIBA'S TRIP: Undead and Undressed Director's Cut is a gift for all otakus, being more an eccentric city simulator than a masterpiece, but still, its unique gameplay system, destroying enemies through strip, is interesting and strangely funny. The references to the electronic city are the game's charm and, although I've never visited Akihabara, I was able to capture several points of otaku culture represented in the game. It may not be the best within its genre, but if you're an otaku and want to feel a little nostalgic for the past, AKIBA'S TRIP might be a good choice to spend a few afternoons relaxing uncompromisingly.

There being now waypoints in the sidequests brought the score down considerably. If I’m relegated to just stomping around like a chicken with its head cut off, trying to find whoever I’m looking for, it’s boring. I have to wonder why more effort wasn’t put towards modernizing Akiba’s Trip: Undead and Undressed, and making it the true definitive edition.

AKIBA'S TRIP: Undead & Undressed Director's Cut is a fun game that will please Japanese pop culture fans looking for something fun and straightforward. With a fairly easy-to-use combat system, plenty of additional content including extra missions and alternate routes, and a very short length, it's a game that will be quite entertaining for those looking for something more niche.
