Akiba’s Trip is an interesting game. On one hand, it faithfully re-creates Japan’s most notorious Geek-culture haven, allowing Japanese and Western gamers alike to explore the city in a new way. On the other hand, we have a sub-par brawler that requires you to beat up everyone you see and take off all their clothes. This mishmash of well-created, open-world simulation with poor, shallow brawler ultimately falls flat when held to criticism. It is mostly seen as another suggestive, borderline inappropriate Japanese game that just didn’t do one thing well enough to rise above the pack. However, there is some good underneath the surface, and especially if you are nostalgic for Japan or Japanese culture, it may even be worth getting to the core of the game.
Today Acquire announced that its 2013 game Akiba's Trip 2, known in the west as Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed is getting a DLC.

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."
