It's great that Kati finally got her route after so many years; the devs went back to an old game and updated it with new content that the fans had wanted. But it's depressing how modern XSEED is so clearly ashamed of the work they did years ago that they would go out of their way to censor a script and make the translation less accurate in the process because they're scared of being called out for retaining …

Imagine censoring a game nearly a decade later, and in your foolish quest to placate an ultra tiny number of angry social media no lifers, you break the game and make it unplayable without modification. Thankfully there are ways around this, but screw XSeed for making me do it. Long gone are the days where they were holding up the PSP by giving us great translations of the Ys games. Rest in piss.

Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed sounds ridiculous on paper: defeat vampires by ripping off their clothes and exposing them to sunlight. In practice, it is a surprisingly sincere love letter to Akihabara, combining beat-'em-up combat, light RPG progression, satire, and otaku culture into something far more memorable than its gimmick suggests. On PC, I strongly recommend using the AkibaInterceptor community fix. It …

TL:DR: I thought this would be a horny gimmick. I'm writing this through tears after 4 true endings, upset I won't get to play again for a few months. Because I rarely get time to sit down and devote all my time/focusto a game, and this deserves it. this might be one of my favorite games now. I'm more shocked than anyone. I got this at launch, and it stayed downloaded for almost 8 years as a "get around to it" game. …

Is the game worth it after the update? As for me that just completed the Kati DLC and update, it is worth your time and money if you really like these wacky Japanese styled games. Old bugs like overly shaky camera during the strip moves or the game lagging at 60 fps and etc. has all been fixed. You can now delete old saves to organize your data, you can freely spawn in any district when you open the game and you can …

67% of the 187 Steam reviewers we collected recommend AKIBA'S TRIP: Undead ＆ Undressed. The complaint that keeps coming up: retroactive censorship patch years after release. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
On the game's release in Japan, Famitsu gave the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita versions each a score of one nine and three eights for a total of 33 out of 40. Following the game's release in the west, it received "mixed" reviews on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Hardcore Gamer praised the Vita version's gameplay and amount of content, but criticized the technical problems and fan-service. They also stated that "Akiba is an open-world game, but it's hard to fully get lost in it because of how many loading screens you run into when traveling from section to section of the city." Upon its PC release, HonestGamers praised the game's lampooning of a…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Censorship helps no one, and only hurts free thought and free artistic expression. I don't care about the words used, I care that you're so arrogant to think your morals, your beliefs, your world view, is so much better than the authors, and because of that you think you have -the right- to subjectively mar and maim their original work to suit yourself. People like you would burn books and alter history given the chance, you're cut from the same cloth as those types of people after all.…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Many, many years after release, XSEED suddenly decides to censor this game. The rot runs deep.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game had a patch released 8 years later implementing retroactive censorship.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This PC port has been buggy, unstable trash for nearly a decade. An update to improve game stability or support for SteamOS would've been very nice. Instead, a recent update removed content, rewrote/censored character dialogue, and introduced other pointless changes. It's unfortunate but I can no longer recommend this kusoge to my fellow gigaweeb turboautists.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's an ok game, but if you're interested you should play a version without the new censorship.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let me tell you my journey with this game so you can understand my frustration. Some years back, when the PS3 ruled the marked I played this game, it was a blast!, fun, engaging, good voice acting, heck!, I even liked the story but there was something missing, you are right, I missed Katie's ending. Some years later I learned that the PS3 version was censored and that I missed the sister ending, the good news was that the Steam version had it so I immediately bought it. Literally just months…

neutral · AI labelView post →I've owned this game for seven years and now they decide to censor it. I don't recommend games from any publisher that practices retroactive censorship. Most of the weapons in the game are useless so you will find yourself going back to the same hand full that have good move sets. Finding your way around can be difficult with the the way that the areas are laid out. The art style was good, but since they've starting censoring things it's only a matter of time before they decide that…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game was fine. Been played a lot on Vita to buy again on PC. But really?! Censorship?!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mandatory XSEED negative review. I will never support this company and do not recommend anyone else do so. They went back and edited the localization to remove harmful words like "trap" from the GAME. I happen to love traps and I happen to hate XSEED. DO NOT BUY EVER!!!!

neutral · AI labelView post →So I see some of the reviews saying how disappointed they are about censorship. But if you go into properties and go to beta you can go back to the 2016 or 2021 patches of the game and it will re-download to either version you choose. Don't know if it is compatible with the new DLC but I hope people can see if it does work.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →-Initially, the in-game social media platform Pitter was enjoyable to read, but recent changes have made it less enjoyable due to unnecessary censorship. -These alterations have significantly impacted its original charm. -Moreover, the removal of advertisements from billboards, such as those for Hyperdimension Neptunia and Super Sonico, strips away a core element of the game's originality, which is disappointing. -Additionally, several in-game commercials and music videos, including those…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So let me get this straight, XSeed released a patch improving the PC port further (Keep in mind, the state of the game in 2015 was rather terrible on PC) and adding new content as DLC, but they retroactively made their game localization less accurate AND still haven't brought over the PS3 exclusive content to any other version of the game (Yes this includes PlayStation 4). XSeed/Marvelous really proving themselves as the most unreliable Japanese developer on Steam, and I thought that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros - Great characters and decent story. - Cut scenes are fully voiced. - Combat is quite fun and I did enjoy stripping the female NPCs. - There are different routes which adds to replayability. Cons: - The in-game map is bare-bones at best. It does not show the shop locations or even your current location. It only seems useful for fast traveling. On that note, there isn’t even a mini-map. I found myself lost several times while doing the sub-missions. - There are no quest markers for…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Retroactive censorship.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Updated years after release to censor dialog and make the translation less accurate.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game was mid. The combat is just ok, but the balance sucks. After a few hour it feels more like a chore to play. There are plenty of better hack and slash/beat ‘em up games. The only appeal of this game is the fan service, but now they censored the game too.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a sad day, one of the best games ever ruined, new line work looks like crap, it makes the game unplayable. The reason they implemented was embarrassing also, c'mon take pride in your work. The game is really good but, but I don't recommend it in it's current state, not even in sale. Rather go pirate it, get the previous version, right now the screenshots are a sham because the game looks nothing like that, it looks like a blurry undetailed mess, is impressive how much just a black…

positive · AI labelView post →Sudden DLC released years later, advertised as true ending. Silent update without no patch notes as well.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked this game right up till August 1, 2023 when paid DLC was released for this game from 2015. One of the DLC apparently includes the games "true ending". Pay walled behind DLC. Don't buy this game. Supporting practices like this is asinine. I don't mind the addition of new content at all. But what I do mind is "the true ending" being in a paid DLC rather than just patched into the game. Considering I paid for this game quite a few years ago and thought I owned it in totality.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game for all the weebs who like Japanese culture AND fan-service. Highly recommended 👌
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a lot of negative aspects, but if you catch it on sale it can still be fun. These are the main issues: Reliance on aggressive post-processing effects The PC version is based on the PS4 port, which uses a heavy amount of aggressive post-processing effects that you can’t fully disable. There’s tons of color grading and color correction that completely change and distort the original colors of objects, characters, and areas. The game relies heavily on bloom to create contrast and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little game I played and finished on PSVita! Got this in the sale a while back, and playing it over! <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting game and it looks like it's fun. Unfortunately, this is a poor PC port which also happens to crash pretty often. Had to refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I went to Akiba in real life and does not need a map after this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wonderful getaway into a civilized, modern, sunny summer in Japan. Casual action gameplay with some stat grinding. Story is alright. Multiple endings. Though takes a bit of attention to trigger obscure ones. Dialogues and characters are cheesy but fit the overall setting. Warning: DLCs and latest release are not worth it. Replaces original assets and introduces a lot of bugs. Get just a core game and use BETAS in properties of Steam to play 2021-01-18 build. It is more stable and has better…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've briefly played the demo previously on a Playstaion, and had high hopes for this conversion. I was sadly disappointed. The PC control scheme is set up by a launcher app at the start. At no time during game play are you reminded what keys are for what. Instead they continue to flash the game pad controls instead. And the mouse movement is twitchy as hell. Finally to top it off and make it unplayable is the supported screen resolution. Wide screen monitors are not supported. You're presented…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game wouldn't run properly. Had a problem with the config.dat file. I looked up many different solutions to fix it and nothing worked for me. I didn't get to play at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →God I wish it worked on Steam Deck, but it's decently fun!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredibly cultured. Very flashy, funny, silly and has great otaku energy. Combat is fun but a bit clunky. Would recommend to play on the normal difficulty. Great waifus. I chose the best friend. Hot sporty girl is the best. Protect the Imouto. She is precoius. If it's on sale, worth a buy. Beware of the screen resolution. It's a bit whack when trying to full screen.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is goofy and it knows. That's part of what makes it so charming. There is a story and its funny, there is combat and its silly, If i remember correctly it even has English voice acting that isn't awful. It really gives the impression alot of time went into it to give the gamer something they can play and turn off there brain for a few hours. Although, that's probably all you would get is a few hours of entertainment. The story really drags on in places, sidequests, weapons,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game won't launch at all. It always forced close before I get to see the opening video, let alone play the game. I'm using i5 nvdia geforce mx 130. Windows 11. Idk if its a bug or maybe the game just too old so it doesn't support windows 11? I tried to run it using compatibility mode and other things but none seems to works for me. Hope it can be fixed, I really wish to play this game again 🥲
