Tokyo Tattoo Girls
WORST GAMES OF Q4 2017
What’s that? You still wanted to get your fill of cute anime girls? Alas, you definitely won’t scratch that itch by playing this abrasively niche strategy game, unless you also happen to like watching paint dry.
Tokyo Tattoo Girls follows a ludicrous story that attempts desperately to shoehorn its tattoo mechanic into its lore, and never progresses beyond a humdrum series of mundane choices and a tale that fails to impress. None of the characters are particularly likable, and some of them are downright bizarre. Overall, there isn’t much to this game – it has very little depth, and what is there isn’t nearly compelling enough to warrant your outlay. There’s likely an audience out there that can see past the simplicity of the base mechanics, and grow engrossed with the customization options, but those people are far and few between. This just doesn’t feel anything like a full retail title… and it’s a little creepy, to boot.
