    This game is a waste of money. The story wasn't interesting at all. Just stripping other people's clothes, that's it. The characters were very generic and a pain to watch. Cant even finish the game

    "That's it??" Is what I said when I finished this game, having just started it yesterday and playing for about 6 hours.

    I went in with the wrong expectations and was disappointed. To set the correct expectations for you, this is primarily set up like a dating sim. There's a basic and short story and you choose one of 4 girls to finish the game with (see their endings). The next big    "That's it??"

There's a basic and short story and you choose one of 4 girls to finish the game with (see their endings). The next big selling point is that it is a (supposedly) accurate recreation of Akihabara along with real ads and flyers that were live when this game was released.

    The story is average when compared to other Japanese games like this. It's just incredibly short. Dialogue from the various characters is a bit long-winded, but wasn't long enough or nonsensical enough to put me to sleep (Like Digimon Story did).

    The game does have a good bit of clothing and undergarment collecting, of which you can equip on any of the playable characters/models or your partner characters (after unlocking the requirements). I might have spent a lot more time collecting if the graphics weren't so bad. This is a low-end vita game graphically and playing it on PS4 doesn't help much.

    Everything else in the game is just a chore and isn't very fun: the side quests, map navigation, menu navigation, and the combat.

    The combat is just plain bad and isn't very responsive. It consists of a high, medium, and low attack to hit the different parts of your opponent. But make sure you choose a good weapon. Most of the weapons in the game are very difficult to use due to their unruly attack animations. There's also a block mechanic which isn't very useful. I would have preferred a "dodge out of the way" move because you can easily be surrounded and have your clothes easily pummeled off.

    Right before the game ended, I was hoping I was getting close to ending chapter 1 and I would soon unlock better combat mechanics, more characters, map areas, and higher quality clothes. But of course, that didn't happen.

    This is an incredibly low budget game that was probably acceptable/good at the time of its release on the Vita, but on the PS4 it just feels low-quality.

    Although ripping the clothes off of a mob of attackers and then doing a special move and watching their undergarments explode is pretty damn funny. That at least didn't outstay its welcome.    … Expand

    All in all, Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed is an uneven experience.

    Akiba’s Trip is an example of what happens when you build an anime RPG around the solely superficial. It’s Shin Megami Tensei with absolutely no depth and a nonsensical story that somehow almost works. Somehow, there are charms to all the camp, but technical flaws drag all that down, leaving a game that will tug at your curiosity - and then bitterly disappoint.

    This RPG/ Brawler mash-up has enough strong points and an ostensibly kinky central mechanic to ensure that it’ll find a market.
