Tokyo Underground Killer

Very fun, fast-paced first-person combat game. Once I got into it I honestly had a hard time to stop playing. I had played the demo a couple months back, and had found it very difficult but I'm happy to say that the full game seems well balanced. It's not perfect optimization-wise though. Watch out for heavy framedrops when you're surrounded with too many enemies and killing them left and right. And there's a part of a mission near the end of the game that had my system going full-throttle on cooling for some reason. As a hired assassin, you take on missions where you run through some vivid neon lit depictions of famous Tokyo districts at night while killing hundreds of enemies, in order to kill a designated boss target. The story is told through very cool interactive comic strip sequences, with fully voiced dialogue lines. After completing a mission, you start again from your apartment, and must pay a bribe to the subway ladies to be able to do the next one. Money can be earned either in missions, or by playing mini-games in town after exiting your apartment (part-time bouncer, pachinko, arcade VR missions, ...). The fact that you can relax a bit right after a mission helped with immersion and kept me playing. What I liked: - Very fun, dynamic and juicy combat. Once you get the hang of it, you can chain enemies and it is very satisfying. On that aspect, the game having you incarnate a blood-trance-driven assassin works perfectly. - I recommend taking on the VR missions at the arcade, going from the very easy ones to the harder ones in order to nicely ramp up the difficulty while you get comfortable with the gameplay mechanics. That way you'll be ready when the game gets difficult, and difficult it does become! - There are many ways to approach a situation. Melee sword combat is central to the gameplay, but you can play either defensively by relying on parry/counters or very aggressively by tanking a bit of damage and refilling your health with the blood enemies drop when they die. You have powerful supernatural blood abilities to unleash whenever they are charged, and you can also pick up range weapons, but they have little ammo so they're more like another tool to help you out of a tough spot or make short work of a very annoying kind of enemy (like those flying pests). - Tokyo by night is beautiful in this game. Over-the-top colors everywhere, reflective materials, and good environmental story-telling with lots of details to look at. It feels lived in, a lot of care has been put into the design of the different locations. I loved looking at all the hand-drawn pieces of art used as ads everywhere. - All characters have very quirky designs, and the way the story was written felt reminiscent of reading a manga or watching an anime that does not take itself seriously and just wants to show you cool stuff. What I disliked: - I wish side-characters would have been modeled in 3D instead of showing up as billboards when encountered in locations - most of the time you only realize you've found somebody because a dialogue UI shows up. Then again I assume it's more a budget/time issue than an artistic choice. - Although it did not bother me that much personally as I enjoyed doing arcade VR missions, I feel like the game should not force you to play intermission minigames if you're not into it. If you want to collect figurines and stuff, fine. But here, transportation is more expensive the more progress you make and you'll eventually have to grind, especially if you want to upgrade your blood abilities. If you're looking for an intense fast-paced FPS game with cool visuals, you'll likely enjoy this one. It's also damn cheap, so you don't have to wait for a sale to grab it!

Really solid game. Like Shadow Warrior meets Doom. Can get repetitive but it's a fun gameplay loop that doesn't break the bank.

The other reviews on here weren't joking. Tokyo Underground Killer is like someone asked Suda51 to make a FPS. And it's awesome! The characters are crazy and the levels punch you in the face with neon and big Japanese signs everywhere. Combat feels solid and very fast. It's all about moving forward, stabbing, dodging and more stabbing. That can become somewhat repetitive over time, but tbf it makes up for it with the different blood skills and new upgrades for the katana. There's also a lot of bosses and they all have different backstories and strategies. There's one boss that appears three times that I could have done without, though at least they changed her attacks each time. I enjoyed my time with this and recommend it if you are looking for a crazy hack-and-slasher that has maybe more in common with Grasshopper action than New Blood shooters.

[h2] 东京永不眠，且永远在注视着你 [/h2] 本作是一款具有漫画叙事的第一人称3D版砍杀游戏，故事的开头，讲述了拥有东京吸血鬼称号的小林，为了还清债务，不得不接下各种任务，以此卷入各大帮派的战争，但事情并非那么简单，需要玩家在游戏中自行探索，而初见游戏还以为是2d横版或者是俯视角的肉鸽游戏，但却是像《赛博行者》一样的砍杀游戏，但难度偏低，这样快节奏的第一视角战斗，也带来一个问题，就是容易晕3d，但好在把视角调到最高，关掉动态模糊之后，情况会有所好转。 [h2] 快节奏的战斗爽 [/h2] 关于这款游戏其战斗方式。身为吸血鬼的小林手持利刃，砍翻面前的一切，还能进行格挡、重击以及投掷武器（笔者没成功过）等操作，除了主手武器的利刃以外，还有副武器等多种枪械，可惜的是，每种枪械子弹是有限的，而且要对付拥有蓝盾的敌人，不仅要考验玩家对于副武器子弹的消耗控制，还很考验玩家对每种武器的应用。 到具体的战斗方面，敌人也是拥有很多种，比如最基础的红兵、自爆兵，到拥有蓝盾的敌人，还有持有长矛武器或远程武器的敌人，最强的还是高攻击，高血量，高机动的双枪兵，所以整个游玩体验下来，还是颇有挑战的，但主角也不是弱鸡，不仅有二段冲刺能够快速近身，还能规避掉大部分的攻击，对于高手来说，这是一个大秀操作的方式，但对于萌新来看，冲进敌阵只会让自己的血量变得岌岌可危，好在还有特殊技能能够进行强力攻击和回血，在特定位置再次按下，还能再次把CD转好。 [h2] 箱庭式的地图设计 [/h2] 游戏的地图设计风格比较像赛博朋克里面的霓虹风，地图也是没有岔路的，基本上不会迷路，只要细心观察，总能找到路线，建议搜寻地图的角落会有一些强力道具给到玩家们，比如枪械就藏在楼梯下面，拿到之后对于通关有很大的助力。 [h2] 不足之处及建议 [/h2] 游戏的建筑风格比较突出，但是有点偏漫画风，如果用光追系统让灯光更加写实，可能会更好，这就是高速战斗带来的晕3d问题，希望能够尽量优化一下。 再就是攻击方式，特别是重击，如果更改成蓄力然后松手释放的话会更好，根本把握不到重击的点，而且针对键位再优化一下就更好了，就比如特殊攻击的免CD方式，如果能加个框，在固定的框里面按下，会更加直观，现在的根本把握不到该按哪里。 再就是敌人的攻击方式，敌人多当然没问题，但主角要有相应的应对手段呀，比如长矛敌人攻击时选择格挡，还是会被击飞，还有敌人仇恨值的问题，只要相隔一段距离，敌人立马就蜂拥而至，不管是否隔着墙。 [h2] 结语 [/h2] 现在游戏战斗方面还是略显粗糙的，虽然有所创新，但没有很新颖的机制，让人眼前一亮的还是游戏的漫画式叙述风格，以及快速的砍杀战斗，游戏还是挺不错的，推荐尝试。 [quote]关注「 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42276832//]鸿源鉴游组」 [/url] [/quote] [u][b] 会当逢佳游，始可见鸿源。 [/b][/u]

soooo fun

underrated game. Good vibes good fun so far.

Fix the optimization pls.

[h1]《东京地下杀手》：《影子武士》青春版[/h1] 如果只看宣传的话，由3DM发行的《东京地下杀手》是一款相当酷的作品。而事实也的确如此，本作在剧情上，虽然没有突出赛博朋克特有的社会环境设定，但美术设计上无疑采用了赛博朋克的视觉风格。 和《幽灵行者》的部分游戏玩法一样，本作是一款需要玩家用武士刀攻击敌人的第一人称高速动作游戏，在这部作品中，除了技能以外，玩家还需要灵活运用闪避弹反等攻击模式，在这款强调无缝连招和快速反应的动作爽游中砍出一条血路。 当然和《幽灵行者》这个主打高难度的跑酷游戏不同的是，本作是一个主打战斗的动作爽游，除了武士刀以外，你还可以在游戏中装备一把破甲用的远程枪械武器，因此，在游戏体验上，本作也有点像《影子武士》这类作品，整部作品主打的就是一个战斗爽，虽然也有考验玩家技巧的部分所在，但毕竟没有那么高难度。 当然，和那些动作佳作相比，《东京地下杀手》在美术风格上虽然非常鲜明，但还是采用了相当简陋的建模风格，不管是建筑物还是敌人的模型都没有太高的面数，有种给演示作品套上赛博朋克贴图一样的简单设计感。 总体来说，这款3DM发行的作品作为一款独立游戏来说，还是相当优秀的。 [quote] 高玩研究所，为高玩而生。 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45487028/]点击这里关注高玩研究所~[/url] 一起努力成为高玩吧！ [/quote]
