Features

  • Consistent character building. Characters level up as you play them both online and offline and keep the same stats and equipment.
  • In-game cellphones, which serve as a "menu" where your characters can add skills, points, read email and texts, and even use the phone's camera function to snap hidden QR codes placed throughout the game that will instantly unlock an item.
  • Equipment and tattoos that not only affect the stats of character, but their appearance as well. This equipment can be gained through random drops after battling or bought in stores with in-game money.
  • "Anar-chi" powers which can be collected at tattoo parlors and used to turn the tide of battles.
  • Brewing your own (in-game) beer. Using certain ingredients found throughout loot drops, and at certain brewpubs, you can brew your own special beer to drink or sell for in-game cash.
