    An intriguing plot coupled with a focus on questioning morality and who is truly an enemy, Akiba's Trip: Hellbound and Debriefed brings the original story to a new generation of gamers. Bugs, the lack of autosave which does seem a little odd for a remaster and some clunky game mechanics aside, there are easily over twenty hours of game time in the fairly realistic portrayal of Tokyo's Akihabara region. Replay value for those who played the original will vary depending on nostalgia feel, but a second playthrough is highly appealing for completionists and those who want to make different choices in their gameplay since supporting a faction does influence in the end story.

    A poor remaster for an outdated game.

    this game is honestly by no means perfect, it has a lot of flaws it looks dated, it plays like its dated and honestly the combats kinda jank,this game is honestly by no means perfect, it has a lot of flaws it looks dated, it plays like its dated and honestly the combats kinda jank, but if youre willing to sit down and learn the combat its a very charming game with a bit of a generic but well executed story, reminds me little of a mix between persona with its characters and yakuza with its setting overall its worth a try if youre willing to learn a bit of mechanics.… Full Review »

I have acquired the special 10th anniversary edition, and seriously this game that some knew on the PS3 and PSP, the gamers of the Switch and the PS4, have the opportunity to take advantage of this great gem.

    The only bad thing is that it has some glitches that should be solved, however, that doesn't prevent it from being enjoyable.    … Full Review »

Focused primarily on theThis is a title I find quite difficult to describe in traditional terms since I’ve played few games like it. Focused primarily on the narrative aspects and almost what I’d call a “slice of life” feel for being on the busy streets of Akihabara, but mixed with some vampires and serious perviness, Akiba’s Trip is at least unique. It’s interesting to walk around and get sidetracked by some shops or other distractions (though some of the mini games are also a bit gross, unless you’re into it) but it also doesn’t feel like enough time and effort were put into vital elements like the game’s lackluster combat… unless you’re really into the fact that clothes are shed along the way. The result is absolutely an experience unlike anything I’ve played, to be sure, but it is very much not going to be for the mainstream crowd.
