Aug 16, 2014I couldnt enjoy this game at all. A lot of dialogue for yet another trope-tastic anime outing. The combat felt like a glitchy version of an old PSOne game. The only good thing I can say is that there are a lot of endings to encourage some replay....but the overall product was so unenjoyable that I dont see myself going back ever again.

Jan 9, 2015It’s certainly not a joke game, and the writing quality does elevate it for those who have an appreciation of the material that is being targeted, but the whole combat mechanic becomes so tiresome so quickly that you can’t help but wish the game could have been shorter, the story more focused, instead of the more positive elements of the game losing some of their sheen from hiding behind the rest of it.

Nov 14, 2014Although 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.

Nov 10, 2014In the end, a few technical shortcomings keeps Akiba’s Trip from reaching true greatness, but not from becoming a very recommended title.
