The action of Tokyo 42 is set in the futuristic version of the eponymous city. We assume the role of a killer who, while performing his lucrative contracts, uncovers a scheme that can change the fate of the world forever.
The action of Tokyo 42 for PC, PS4 and XONE takes place in an open world that we observe from an isometric camera. However, the developers allowed the players to rotate the camera by 90 degrees in any direction which is possible thanks to the fully three-dimensional graphics. As a result, we have no problems with visibility – they were typical of many two-dimensional productions of this type.
While on missions, the killer we control uses a rich arsenal of weapons and gadgets. He can also drive vehicles. Missions are can be completed in different ways. The player can go in with guns blazing, or focus on a more stealthy approach.
The gameplay is enriched by the fact that crowds of ordinary citizens move around the maps. In some cases, it makes completing a task harder, while in others, it is helpful to, for example, shake off a pursuit. The available levels are also patrolled by the law enforcement forces that will try to neutralize us if we break the law within their sight.
Tokyo 42 for PC, PS4 and XONE offers both a single player campaign and a multiplayer mode that lets us compete against other players on small, enclosed maps.

Game Ratings for Tokyo 42 Video Game.
IBTimes UK: 2.5 / 5 by Ben Skipper
Tokyo 42 has been sold on the strong, vivid visual design of its world, but how player's view it is at the root of the game's biggest faults when it comes to play. The isometric angles and transitions between them often hinder smooth movement and a player's understanding of where they are in the world.When the game comes together as intended, it serves up inventive missions with the thrills to match its obvious influences, but those moments are broken up too frequently by frustrating design choices.
Hardcore Gamer: 3 / 5 by Kyle LeClair
Tokyo 42 has a lot of potential, and moments of greatness where it can deliver satisfying action, but unfortunately gets bogged down by an annoying camera and notable structure issues and technical snafus.
CGMagazine: 7.5 / 10 by Zubi Khan
An isometric shooter with a ton of style, and a lack of complexity that works in its favour.
