Personally speaking, Tokyo Necro’s greatest appeal for me is how it marries B-movie action — taking on armies of increasingly hideous zombies with heavy artillery and chainsaws — with headier concepts like emergent AI, human progress and technological advancement, sex and sexuality, the nature of consciousness, and so on, while remaining committed to depicting its vision of the Tokyo of 2199 as a metropolis and community. It effectively leverages its nature as a visual novel, with frequent action sequences rendered in full 3D that remain among the most engaging the medium has to offer even nearly seven years after its initial release.

One thing that stands out to me about Tokyo Necro is having you choose graphical icons to influence the protagonists’ subconsciousness rather than just textual commands. Also, it effectively utilizes surround sound. If I unplug my front speakers, I can no longer hear voiced lines, but I can still hear music and sfx from the rear speakers. Awesome.
