    The result is a game that is genuinely unique. Classy in tone and hugely interesting in design, this is a game that is worth supporting simply on that basis; there's some elements that don't work as well as they should, but then that's the consequence of experimentation. What is important is that the game is deeply playable, very creative, and hugely entertaining as a result.

    Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters: Daybreak Special Gigs delivers thrilling narrative and interesting characters that make this visual novel one worth to play despite a muddled and sometimes frustrating gameplay.

    Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters: Daybreak Special Gigs is an interesting interactive novel, but occidental users are not used to this kind of games. Despite of that, it a good offering that only fails on its combat system.

    Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters: Daybreak Special Gigs is a thoroughly enjoyable romp through a haunted world. What the game lacks in plot originality, it makes up for with its interesting and unique game mechanics, as well as its wonderfully designed cast. It can be accursed with repetition, but there's ultimately a lot to wrap your head around, and the many tactical nuances do a lot to keep boredom at bay.

    A highly strange game, mixing graphic novel gameplay with a tactical RPG. The game is very fun, but not everything works as well as it should. The art style is wonderfully detailed and there are lots of quirky art details that add to the experience, but overall the game fails to really shine in either of its styles, and leaves much to be desired.

    Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters Daybreak Special Gigs is a superb Visual Novel with a good OST and original novel mechanics... But the tactical phases are boring and ugly, and the story isn't that good.

    Welcomed on PS4 for players who missed the original, but this “new” version is not so “special” for those who have already played the game on PS3 and PS Vita.

    An interesting take on adding interaction to the visual novel genre which is only partially successful. Whilst the story is engaging and the art design is gorgeous, the RPG elements of the game just come across as frustrating. It is worth a look if you like visual novel games, but doesn’t do enough to bring in a new crowd.

    While I certainly enjoyed being able to play through the game again, it's difficult to figure out whom Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters: Daybreak Special Gigs might be for. The option to have it on PlayStation 4 is welcome and if players missed the original game for whatever reason, this is the version to pick up. However, there's not enough new content for those who did enjoy the original to justify buying it again, and for those who did have issues, virtually all of the likely turn-offs remain.

    Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters Daybreak is a title that showed a lot of promise, with a great art style and an interesting premise. However, the atrocious combat mechanics hinder the overall enjoyment of the game so much to the point it’s difficult to recommend to anyone in particular.
