Plenty of murder to go around.

Tokyo 42 is now available, DRM-Free on GOG.com with a 50% discount until January 31, 2PM UTC.
Welcome to Tokyo! A vibrant, futuristic playground full of lucky cats, colorful decorations, corporate cover-ups, ruthless assassins and intense isometric shootouts. Sneak or blast through the busy crowds and rotate the camera to uncover the true culprits behind the murder you've been framed with.

Once you finish the main campaign, go through the 90 new missions waiting for you at Smaceshi's Castles, find 4 new weapons and become the assassin this city deserves!

Craving more jRPG goodness? Spend some jRPG Days with us, in the company of beloved champions of the genre like Celestian Tales, Regalia, or the Ys and Legend of Heroes series, going for up to -80% until January 31, 11PM UTC.

gamesfreak64: Exactly my first thought when i watched the videos , this version is more lifelike but the motions are too much ... so i skip this one ( too much rotating) and the requirements are quite high.

I see many new games arriving which is a good thing, but i would love to see more old classic games like the many i already own, real classic ( 2d ofcourse, no 3d/fpp and the likes) i know there are dozens of 'abandoned' games around that probably never arrive here (: (sad face)

Anyway there is always hope old games will arrive again and more then a handfull, dozens would be nice this way there will be a nice game for everyone.
I remember a guy from GOG's staff during an interview saying that once it took up to 4 years of negotiation to get some very old games released here, so I'd never lose hope in more classic releases, we don't know what's happening behind the scenes :D

Themken: Do all Japanese games look like they were made for weak mobiles and those old handheld gaming thingies that existed before the modern powerful mobile phone?
No. :)

After the whole ripoff hoax (https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/08/blatant-clone-or-marketing-hoax-the-curious-case-of-tokyo-41-and-tokyo-42/), I dropped this game off my radar permanently. Pass.

I thought it was funny, original and well done.

And no matter what PR stunts - the game is still very good, so I would say it is more your loss than anything else.

edit: and speaking of PR stunts gone wrong...

I was hoping this would eventually show up here. I purposely waited to buy it until it found a DRM free release. Thanks. I will be getting this today.

I couldn't watch the trailer for more than 20 seconds because the song was atrociously irritating

Sorry for jumping to the conclusion that a game set in Tokyo was made in Japan.

Am I the only one who was thinking that the characters in the game are just really tiny and hard to see. I wonder if there is a good zoom function included. Then again ... maybe it's just my eyes and the fact that I don't own a big monitor....

Looks interesting but not for me anyway ... though I like the "Cat" part :)

There is a zoom function included but the character may still be a bit small for some.

hmm... and you straight away would assume that a game like Metal Gear would be made by Americans? Or Resident Evil 5 by Afrikaans?

Unfamiliar with those games even if I have seen the names before. It is all too easy to make life easy for oneself and quickly put things into the boxes where one thinks they belong. After all, we are all flooded with data and cannot go through it all thoroughly. Strictly speaking, it should not matter where a game was made.

Because I was prejudiced and did not think through what I wrote before posting.

Honesty – ain't it just the most beautiful thing? :)

I'm quite intrigued by this game, and so far I haven't felt like gaming at all this year.
