Compra AKIBA'S TRIP: Undead ＆ Undressed PC

Nel cuore di Akihabara, il quartiere elettronico di Tokyo, gli Synthisters - vampiri che si nutrono di energia vitale - trasformano gli abitanti in reclusi allergici alla luce solare. I giocatori impersonano Nanashi, una vittima salvata dalla cacciatrice Shizuku, e si uniscono agli Akiba Freedom Fighters per smascherare la piaga. Nei combattimenti si spogliano i nemici per esporli al sole, armati di oggetti improvvisati come mazze da baseball o fumetti, mirando a capi specifici per raccoglierli nell'inventario. Questo action RPG fonde scontri in stile brawler con l'esplorazione di oltre 130 negozi reali ricreati fedelmente. Le scelte modellano una storia satirica zeppa di cliché anime, finali multipli e tool da smartphone per missioni, email e rilevamento non-morti. Perfetto per i giocatori casual che amano combattimenti personalizzabili e satira sulla pop culture in un'ambientazione moderna, su PC.

Akihabara. "Akiba," for short.

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.

AKIBA’S TRIP tells the story of one such unfortunate soul: a young man named Nanashi who was lured into a trap by the promise of rare character goods and transformed into one of the walking undead. He, however, was spared the worst of his fate by the bloody kiss of a mysterious Synthister hunter named Shizuku. Together with the rest of his companions in an organization unofficially dubbed the “Akiba Freedom Fighters,” Nanashi and Shizuku must uncover the truth behind the Synthister plague and save Akiba from being overrun by violent, antisocial energy vampires.

And of course, the best way to fight vampires is to strip them down to their skivvies so they melt in the noonday sun…
