Tokyo 42 – A Neon City, Ninjas and Cats!
Tokyo 42 has been released. Like a cybernetic ninja invading your dreams, this neon Tokyo vision is hard to forget. Filled with clever architecture, cats, and cunning death, you can follow the trail that lead to you falsely accused of murder, or you can rack up the body count, by embracing your new vocation as an assassin.
As well as having an open-world micro city filled with secrets to explore, Tokyo 42 also offers a multiplayer option, for when you need that fast death experience, even faster. I’m Pretty excited to play it, but I’m also pretty excited for SMAC Games, as a first release title, SMAC would have been hard pushed to make a more memorable game. Not only that, but they’ve got their timing just right too, releasing their game the same year as two major Cyberpunk blockbusters: Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner 2049.
Tokyo 42 looks as exciting as it is unique, and I can’t wait to see what SMAC Games brings us next! So head on over to Steam and pick up Tokyo 42 for £14.99 (or your regional equivalent), or for £28.58 with the soundtrack too.
