    Although there’s a niche that will no doubt revel in the game’s eccentricity, those who cringe at otaku culture will find very little value here. Even looking past its more tasteless tendencies, the game’s combat is average and its design is repetitive. Still, it’s a complete write-off by any means, in part thanks to its vibrant depiction of Akihabara and the surprise inclusion of English voiceover.

    Akiba's Trip has a bizarre concept that might turn a few heads, but once you strip away the promiscuity, there's little left to keep your attention.

    Lets start with the bad:
    -The biggest problem with the Vita version anyways (cant comment for the other versions when they are all out) is    Lets start with the bad:
    -The biggest problem with the Vita version anyways (cant comment for the other versions when they are all out) is the lock on system, holy **** its really annoying to switch targets.
    -The popping takes a while, there where many times that I would go into a zone to say, turn in a quest and have to wait 5 seconds for anyone to spawn in. I assume this is a limitation of the Vitas power, but annoying non the less.
    -And the load times, every zone is a loading screen, long ones too, 3-5 seconds. I found myself just using the fast travel option 99% of the time to avoid multiple load times.
    -Bust size is based on clothing, so putting on a boys jacket onto Thoko for example makes her completely flat, and if you wanted to cross dress, you suddenly had boobs... Made me laugh the firsttime.
    -Memes, this is more of a neutral, I didnt mind them given the feel of the game. From what I hear the Japanese version has a ****load of 7chan memes in it that America wouldn't understand so they changed them into memes we would get. Normally I have a problem with memes in games, but given that the cast is a bunch of tech savvy teenager otaku it actually fits the theme really well.
    -I was a little disappointed with no P4G style dating after getting to know the girls (ive only gotten 1 ending now)
    -Nana-Chans stupid freaking minigame that's mostly RNG, I would have liked some way other then up/down, left/right to be able to manipulate it because my game favors up and right apparently.. I was trying my hand at it for an hour and could not get out of the top right corner of the 7x7 grid. I was trying to get all the events in case they gave items and stuff, but I just wound up raging my ass off. I

    The Good:
    -The Gameplay although simple was incredibly fun, the different combos based on the weapon was a neat thing.
    -The cast was really enjoyable and I wanted to get to know them, they made me laugh on many occasions.
    -TnA and SO MUCH FAN SERVICE. This could be a bad thing to many, but I enjoy Fan service in my games so long as the game itself is fun to play without it.
    -SO MANY ITEMS AND COSTUMES, holy **** mixing and matching to make the Swankiest looking guy is a lot of fun.
    -I think I read somewhere theres like 9 endings.
    -"Brotagonist" ~Nana-Chan.

    I have a hard time replaying games after I beat them, I usually have to wait months to replay them, but Akibas trip, I found myself wanting to collect everything, and get the other endings. I really enjoyed the game myself.

    PS, Tohko is best girl.    … Full Review »

    This game is so much more than stripping girls. First let me say there are as many if not more male enemies that you end up stripping, andThis game is so much more than stripping girls. First let me say there are as many if not more male enemies that you end up stripping, and over time you stop even noticing...its just another mechanic to get through the fights so you can continue the story progression. Which is the true brilliance of this game. There are so many dialogue decisions that you need to make as a character and with 45 different possible endings they actually matter.

    The cast of characters is memorable and each one of them feel well placed. Of course you can only get to really delve into one characters story per play through but the way they do new game plus makes replaying feel like a new experience each time.

    I am a huge fan of visual novels and have been hoping for more western releases of these types of games. Hopefully other people have as much fun as I did with this game and we can show Japanese developers that they can make money over here as well.    … Full Review »
