Last September, I had the incredible opportunity to visit Japan for the first time. Akihabara, also known as the Electric Town, was at the top of my list of places to explore. Known for its anime and video game culture, Akihabara exceeded my expectations with its vibrant atmosphere and bustling streets filled with all things anime and gaming. The sheer enthusiasm of the Japanese people for these hobbies was truly refreshing, and I can’t wait to go back one day. It felt like being a kid in a candy store.
During my visit, I came across a game that immediately caught my attention – Akiba’s Trip: Undead and Undressed. Set in the heart of Akihabara, this game beautifully recreates the shops and embraces the culture of the city. At E3, I made sure to stop by Xseed’s booth to check it out.

Akiba’s Trip is a wacky and humorous game that satirizes the otaku culture. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, which works to its advantage. In the game, you find yourself fighting against vampires who have taken over Akihabara. Your mission? Strip them of their clothes (shirts and pants, undergarments stay on), while battling them. While the stripping aspect may seem a bit silly at first, it’s not as overtly sexual as many other Japanese games.
One of the unique features of Akiba’s Trip is its focus on partnerships. You can recruit various characters and team up with them to take down vampires. These characters can assist you with special attacks, and the more you fight alongside them, the stronger your bond becomes. This plays into the four different story paths, which lead to two distinct endings. Your choices in the game determine which character and path you will embark on.
What truly sets Akiba’s Trip apart is its authenticity in portraying Akihabara and its culture. As you explore the virtual city, you’ll come across actual store flyers scattered around, video game theme songs playing in the background, and real video games on display. You can even enter video game bars and enjoy playing arcade games like hardcore runners. The attention to detail is remarkable, and it felt like I was transported back to the streets of Tokyo during my first trip.

I love how it fully embraces Japanese video game culture and doesn’t take itself too seriously.
