Tokyo Xanadu's social system lets you choose which characters you want to get to know better in your allotted free time - a process that is almost identical to the one Trails of Cold Steel. The real highlights are the characters and the relationships you build with them. The exposition is a slow burn, requiring a lot of patience to get to the reveals, which even then aren't worth the wait. Outside of a few twists, the plot is mostly lackluster and predictable. Kou, alongside other classmates who have been affected by The Eclipse, set out to discover the source. The portal feeds off negative emotions (like jealousy, greed, and anger) and pulls victims into this alternate dimension overflowing with monsters. You play as Kou, a young man whose life takes an interesting turn when he discovers an interdimensional portal to a world called The Eclipse. Tokyo Xanadu takes place in a fictional area in modern Tokyo. This doesn't mean Tokyo Xanadu is awful, but it's not remarkable either. While this amalgamation sounds promising, the mashup fails to provide the refinement of those series, and struggles to carve out its own identity. Tokyo Xanadu combines elements of those two into a new property, with action-focused combat in the vein of Ys and a social system and story structure reminiscent of the recent Trails of Cold Steel games. Developer Nihon Falcom has earned a niche fanbase thanks to its Ys and The Legend of Heroes franchises.
