Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed
Akihabara is the infamous electronic and anime mecha of Tokyo, and if you’ve ever wanted to explore it in a digital space, Akiba’s Trip is the game for you.
The entire game takes place in Akihabara, where creatures known as Synthisters have infiltrated the district, preying on the citizens social energy and will to live.
There’s a ridiculous story to play through that involves unveiling a sinister plot by the Magaimono organization, but exploring Akihabara is the real appeal. There are over 130 real-life shops featured in the game, and the district is meticulously built and detailed.
Of course, as you explore you’ll have to battle Synthisters, tearing off their clothes to expose them to sunlight and kill them. Just par for the course, right?
The ridiculous combat and story are fun in their own right, but it’s the joy of exploring and seeing Akihabara that should really appeal to fans of Japan.
