How it feels

Playing a corrupt magistrate, you scheme and snicker your way through absurd, campy mini-games and trap-laying tactics to keep righteous heroes at bay.

About

Keep a stranglehold on your corrupt office by accepting bribes and using those bribes to hire henchmen, pay for protection and buy traps to snare valiant heroes. These do-gooders will eventually come a-knocking and it's your prerogative to obfuscate and outright beat back their attempts at bringing justice upon your head and hide. Setting traps inside the magistrate building also helps to slow down or completely stop some hapless heroes. Played in a humorous light, Akudaikan features real Japanese actors, comical scenarios, a few ridiculous moments and wacky mini-games certain to elicit laughs from unsuspecting gamers.
