This combat system is a lot of fun. Each character does have distinct abilities and a role in the battlefield, and the action is fast enough that you’ll need to think quickly as you play. The crowning achievement of combat is the super attacks that you work towards (usually in time for the boss battles). Once activated, you’ll have a short time where you’re super powered-up, and if you can time attacks and strikes with the rhythm of the background music (for which you’ll have a number of tracks to choose from), you’ll be able to take down even the toughest boss quite quickly.

All in all, Akiba’s Beat is a solid game that presents itself very well. Despite a couple of flaws here and there, the title offers a lot in the way of content and entertainment value. Whether it’s the interesting visuals, the great use of music, or the well-constructed story, it’s not hard to see how this game beats out the competition. Akiba's Beat (Reviewed on PlayStation 4) This game is good, with a few negatives. Akiba's Beat is a music based combat game that rarely misses a note.

I’m torn about Akiba’s Beat. On the one hand, there are large sections of the game I simply didn’t enjoy. The character portraits for the visual novel sections move slightly during conversations, which just seems like a tease. The combat has a wide range of options for getting through some very simple battles. I really miss decking out my avatar in ridiculous clothing combinations. Yet, the writing is excellent, the voice acting is on par and the game’s tone is just right. I want to go back and treat Akiba’s Beat like the visual novel it truly is, instead of expecting a full-scale action RPG.

If you’re into otaku culture, or are itching for another Tales experience, Akiba’s Beat is a title worth looking at. Its competencies create a game that’s, while not amazing, worth the time I put into it. ~ Final Score: 7/10 ~ Review copy provided by Xseed Games for PS4.

If you can appreciate a trope-filled homage to Japan’s nerd culture as a whole, Tales and Persona-style gameplay, and enjoy a game with plenty of dialogue, then this one’s for you.

Akiba's Beat may not set the JRPG world on fire but it is quirky enough to enjoy.W
