Akudaikan

Released2002
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.

About This Game

Akudaikan flips the traditional period drama by casting you as the corrupt magistrate — the villain at the center of the era, the figure that heroes of justice are supposed to bring down. Build your household defenses with strategic traps, accept bribes from unscrupulous merchants, and hire bouncers and thugs to enforce your will. When an ally of justice comes to challenge you, turn the trap network against them — exhaust them, stall them, then strike with the blade of an evil magistrate. The power of corruption is yours to wield.
