Akibas Trip Undead And Undressed Director’s Cut Review (Nintendo Switch OLED)

For this Akibas Trip Undead And Undressed Director’s Cut Review, we find out that This suburban Tokyo ward’s seen it all, from Japan’s post-war reconstruction to the economic bubblegum crisis of the ’80s. Always on the cutting edge of progress, with a little something to offer even the most fetishistic of appetites, it was almost inevitable that this singular technocracy of indulgence would give birth to a whole new kind of appetite altogether. Enter, the “Synthisters” – vampires who prey upon the life energy of the town’s unsuspecting figurine-chasers, maid café connoisseurs, and cosplayers. Those victimized by Synthisters take on the properties of their attackers while also withdrawing from society and becoming veritable shut-ins due to their newfound fatal weakness to sunlight.

Akibas Trip Undead And Undressed Director’s Cut Review Cons:

  • The a slight learning curve at the begininng.
  • So slow to start with as you get so much information and mechanic knowledge.
  • Fighting is the trickiest part to learn especially with no proper lock-on options.
  • Very little in terms of character creation.
  • Watching out for when to strip is hard, especially in group fights.
  • You can bring up a marker on screen but it’s only for main missions,  We could do with one for active side quests.
  • Very slight slowdown in places.
  • Picking up items is a pain, especially after fights as you have to quickly grab them all,  Due to the crazy weapons,  some can be crazy small.
  • Some of the shop fronts in the world look bland,  pixel aged, and dare I say it,  PlayStation 1-era looking.
  • Pervert,  Sexual tone throughout.  I mean you expect it somewhat from a game that evolves around stripping your enemies but it kicks it up a notch.  You can zoom your camera in on your female party members and actually jiggle their breasts.
  • Toybox mode disables achievements and it doesn’t recognize clear data.
  • Cannot rebind controls.
  • An FYI that it doesn’t support any sort of save transfer.
  • The choices you make don’t feel that impactful.

Summary

In Summary, This is the third outing for this particular game and I can say it is third time lucky as this is the definitive version. The graphics are crisp, the Music is top notch and the performance cannot be touched.  Jumping from area to area is only a few seconds of loading away. Fighting is funny but tricky and has a feeling of having been there and done it all.  The stripping is the only real game-changer.  Yes, the game has you feeling like a pervert at times but it’s not always forced upon you,  you can skip over the most raunchy parts. So in short it is worth a look for sure boasting hours of gameplay and a whacky story just mental enough to keep you hooked. This has to be one of the weirder games on the Nintendo Switch and saying that it is also a great game for handheld gaming. I found the best way to experience this game is headphones, in handheld mode and just lose yourself in a world that entertains at every step.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
