  7.7

  In short, Gaijin Charenji 1 : Kiss or Kill feels like an unauthorized bootleg version of certified insanity. Its seemingly innocent twin stick shooter formula soon turns into an explosion of creepy imagery, absurd battles against unlikely opponents based on real world counterparts, told through an FMV-filled abstract story and a multitude of styles and genres.

  As overGame put in their email to me, Gaijin Charenji 1 : Kiss or Kill is more of an experience than a traditional video game. If you are up for an hour spent questioning what you see before you, before having your mind melted by the mad antics on display, then absolutely pick it up. I fear many people won’t be willing to give it a chance however, and that’s a shame, as it is a unique experience that will stay with you for some time.

  8.0

  The other thing which helps so much with the player immersion is the music. Granted, the soundtrack has less than a handful of tracks but the style is consistent and strong. The music is hard-hitting and energetic Asian techno music very similar to a style of artists like she. The music fits the mood of the game perfectly, and what’s cool is that it changes depending on whether you are equipped with a Kiss or Kill shot. Gaijin Charenji 1: Kiss or Kill is a forgotten Dreamcast game finally brought to life on Xbox One, and the journey it has gone through to reach players is poetic and beautiful.
