Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed Is A Game About Taking Off People's Clothes

Well, I like the graphics and cut scenes, and the idea of visiting Akihabara in a game sounds fun. But the plot and gameplay sound ridiculous.

Hm... If I don't confuse, «ä» in Finnish language is pronounced as «yah» or «YAH», or like «Ja» in German... So... Her surname is pronounced as... Ryakk... Wait... I don't know how «ö» is pronounced in Finnish... Oh, and yeah, Finnish language is Suomi, if I don't confuse... Cough-Cough Well, whatever... Oh, and also - you can write and use symbols like «ö» and «ä», but you don't write and use symbols with macrons(ō, ē, ā, ī, ū), when you write names of Japanese people and characters! Why?

I dunno about this one, I could also sign up for a new dating app for free and get similar results.

But then again, dating apps can't offer me vampires (as far as I know).

My first Akiba's Trip from the Vita days but I didn't make it far therein and will definitely double-dip here while also hoping for Akiba's Beat to follow suit in due time. The first game, finally localized on Switch earlier, has proven to be a quality nerdfest whose saucier aspects are easily eclipsed by the other merits like the wacky yet recurrently dramatic and branching plot, unexpectedly tough combat and the whole Akihabara atmosphere.

@jorel262 "But the plot and gameplay sound ridiculous" - because they are, and proudly so.😄

I played and finished this on PC years ago and it was surprisingly fun and entertaining. Even the combat system gets to be engaging as the game goes on

I'm eternally impressed at how much mileage Japanese games and anime can get from the absolute dumbest premises humanly possible. It's like a bunch of Japanese otaku are in neverending bets to see how much of a self-parody they can make their own hobbies seem.

This is both a diss and a sincere compliment, btw.

In a related note, I have no idea how Akiba's Trip is still around, of all gaming IPs.

@nhSnork I watched some more videos of this and other Akiba games, I may have to check them out.

I always enjoy the play on words in the title.

This was one of my favourite games on Vita some years back. One of the few games I've actually played through twice. Yeah, it's got some dumb 'saucy' stuff, which I really don't go in for, but it's tongue-in-cheek and surprisingly mild compared to so many Japanese games.
The real joy of this game is the virtual tourism around Akihabara. You can collect flyers for real local businesses as you go, interact with people, wonder how similar the buildings and layouts are to real life (I'm privileged to have visited since playing, all pretty spot on).
The plot is daft but good fun, and gameplay is a league above the OG Akiba's Trip, recently released on switch.
Good fun to be had here.

Ok am I a bad guy because I just enjoy how ridiculous this is?
Ok they got me, I would totally play this.

Akiba's Trip got an anime I watched a long time ago.
It seems a bit different to this though. Like the main character's design is completely different and he has a little sister. I can't really remember the anime that well actually, but it was pretty funny and each episode featured a different, obscure, niche hobby.
Anyways, this actually looks like it might be fun. I'd like to give it a try if the gameplay is actually any good, but I've already got tons of games to play and look forward to next year, so it's not too likely.
*The white glow won't be present in the final version
lol, good.

Had a lot of fun with the original game on Vita so I think I'll grab this version. Especially since Hellbound & Debrifed seemed like a step back.

@Vyacheslav333 The Finnish "ä" is pronounced like "a" in “hand", and the Finnish "ö" is pronounced just like it is in German, so it's like "i" in "girl" but with a shorter vowel sound.

Presumably they borrowed the last name of the character from the Formula 1 driver Kimi Räikkönen, him being one of the most famous Finns alive.

This is one of the best crap games out there. There’s so much more effort and love put into this than 99% of its ilk.

I've had the game on PS4 for a long time but have yet to really make the time for it. Remember liking the anime but also barely remember anything of it.

@PtM Wow, well done, you got the joke.

@Polvasti O, okay! Thanks for the info! 🙂

@Pokemaniacal Is that not the correct way to find a mate?

@CharlieGirl Maybe you should post your dating tips, because I'm not even getting that far on my dates.

I have the vita game and I really enjoyed it so I’ll double dip on this.

@CharlieGirl As someone who is signed up for dating apps, let me tell you: don't bother. The algorithms won't give you people according to your preferences, such as attractiveness, body type, age, personality, compatibility, location, etc.

I'm on OkCupid, and it used to be so great. You could customize your search based on specific locations (so if I live near Chicago, but want to look for someone in Tokyo, I could).

But now, you can only search locally or everywhere (meaning I can only search for people near Chicago or let the algorithm give me some random person from some random part of the world).

As someone looking to move to Japan to live, work, get married, and settle down, I want to connect with people from there, even if only to strike up a friendship, never mind romance; but the algorithm is not only NOT giving me anyone from Japan, they are recommending to me the same profiles that they have been recommending to me for months now.

Plus, they increased their prices for a premium account by over twice what they were a few years ago, and you can't see who has liked your profile without either paying for a premium account, or them messaging you when they send you the like.

So it's not really worth it. You'd have better luck meeting a vampire, if you ask me, than finding someone according to your preferences on a dating app.

@AstroTheGamosian Uh... thanks?

This was a fun game on the Vita, just ignore the plot.

The follow up was much worse sadly, matter of time before that game comes to the Switch too.

Well, now I have to decide, will I get this game again. Well obviously yes if their is a Physical release.

Finnish exchange student?
TORILLE!!!

looks great.. kinda has that cheeky (pun intended) Those Who Hunt Elves vibe about having a goal of getting your target naked

@IceEarthGuard there should be a physical release for this game already or you ain't playing it right

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Because the generic stuff you find in google images doesn't have a personality or sense of charisma. Sex appeal is more than just what you see.

Like, can you even remember any of the pornos you probably watched in the past year? Probably not. Meanwhile fans of H-content would would be able to tell you a favorite of theirs in 1 minute. And they would gush about their favorite characters and archetypes while they're at it, if not the whole story they're from.

@ChakraStomps Already have it Physical for the Vita. Talking about if there is a physical release for the Switch.

"So, yes, Akiba's Trip is a game about undressing people. You'll have to beat them up first..."

I don't know why I found that so funny haha
