Nik Gaydon from We Know Gamers reviews Akiba's Beat.
Set in Japan's Akihabara District of Tokyo, Akiba's Beat is an Action RPG that touches on many aspects of modern day Japanese culture and while that may be appealing at first glance, is it a worthy investment of your time?
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Just like Artdink, Acquire is a quirky Japanese developer with a history of experimentation and big ideas, but has unfortunately been at the mercy of low budgets throughout the years, leaving gamers with some fantastic titles that suffer from a large amount of jank. Acquire worked on Vita from its launch in Japan through to early 2017, injecting a nice level of variety to the console’s library despite some of the technical shortcomings of its titles, making the company a prime candidate for examination here."
Amazon has discounted the physical versions of several Vita games to below $20, including Akiba's Beat, Arcana Heart 3: LOVE MAX!!!!!, BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma EXTEND, Drive Girls, Tokyo Tattoo Girls and Zero Time Dilemma.
"Here’s a look at the best Japanese PlayStation Plus Double Discounts — the currently running PSN sale that offers huge savings for PlayStation Plus subscribers. While there are some pretty good non-Plus discounts, the Plus-NESS is what it’s all about this time around. And there’s some goodies!"
