60 of 118 · most liked firstVery poorly made Yakuza rip-off. Presentation look very bad, store page screenshots shamelessly lying. Textures looks like mud on every setting except Ultra and even on Ultra it looks meh at best. Game have performance issues and got no business to demand high-end PC for what is offered here. Instead of proper cinematics we have some passable comic strips, voice work is not good and for most and dialogues plain cringe. As for plot - its just not interesting, basically some college kids…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →penulisan dialog cringe parah, angel camera pas berantem berantakan dan nyulitin pemain. sistem save yang ampas dimana tiap kali mati bakal ngulang ke tempat terakhir cerita utama, lantas auto save gunanya apa kocak. hal ini bikin jadi males buat eksplor dan ngerjain misi sampingan.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended with a note This studio actually improved from game directing side... but... Pros about this game : - Improved Writing - Not as clanky as the first game - Free roam - More Side Story - Better "Level-Up" System Cons : - Very Repetitive, especially the Side Story, NPC (Mob) Fighting Style too - Yakuza wannabe, no, seriously they just copy Like a Dragon Map style and Pinpoint asset - Still stiff 3D Movements - Ragdoll is so heavy on finishers - Save file system is just straight…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is definitely an improvement over the first entry. The map is much bigger and quite detailed. Both the story and dialogues are less cringe and more captivating, though I ended up skipping a lot of cutscenes because I found them to be boring. Other than that, all the jankiness and terrible combat remain. Some of the bugs are so bad they prevent the player from progressing thus you get the constant loading screens with checkpoints. I know, the game was made by a small indie team with a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Early impression, mechanics wise, almost no improvement compared to the first game. Decided to recommend this game ONLY BECAUSE I want to support Indonesian Game Dev. -- After finishing the game, I think I get the whole shtick. But please improve the fighting mechanics and do some proper QA before releasing the game. Bugs I've encountered during my gameplay: - Energy bar does not decrease during fighting after upgrading it once, so I'm not sure whether I got unlimited energy or just a UI…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely improved from the previous title. Good soundtrack, the rhythm game could be better, right now the rhythm game timing feels a bit off. The fighting also improved, although the camera movement need to be fixed a bit so that it can show the enemy better. good job Dev!!

unlabelledView post →man it's more troublemaker if you can handle the extreme zoomerisms just get it. combat is much better than the first game, the world is pretty cool cause it's a setting you basically never see in video games and for a tiny indie team it's realized quite well and I mean it's a full Yakuza style game, this is quite ridiculously ambitious
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended !!! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Great improvement from the first game. The world feels lively, the story is more emotional, and it’s worth supporting an Indonesian indie like this. Love the setting and atmosphere—very unique and full of local vibes. Some bugs here and there, but overall really enjoyable.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gamenya sesuai ekspetasi, keren parah kayak main yakuza tapi suasananya indo banget🔥.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A huge step up from the first game! Combat could still stand to be more smooth, and the game's performance is far from perfect on my aging machine, but the characters are super lovable and I'm looking forward to the inevitable third entry in the coming years :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So janky! the frame rate tearing is immense and the pictures on the product page do not reflect how poorly this looks and actually runs. The Indonesian VA is a major headache and enough incentive to mute the volume. Stick to Yakuza
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[Not a review] The minimum specs are a lie. I can't even get the game to launch properly. It hangs up on launch and I'm stuck on a black screen. (Now I know what other reviews meant when they said it was unoptimized) ---- edit: I actually have 8 gb RAM, Idk why it's detecting as 6 edit 2: You know, I don't know why you guys are laughing so much. I'm telling the truth. steam's detecting as 6 GB RAM, but when I do a system check on Windows it tells me I have 8 GB. Steam just doesn't "get" my…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, running around totally-not-Jakarta with a bunch of teenagers... It's certainly different, but is it any good? The game is clearly inspired by the Yakuza series, thus there's lots of fighting random strangers (though you can only kick the traffic cones, sad!), accompanied by an eclectic soundtrack and random outbreaks of karaoke and various minigames. The engine is pretty primitive: graphics are on the low end of OK even with 'Ultra' settings, and you'll quickly notice things like cars…

Thankyou Developer for making this masterpiece🔥 Story: 100/10 (I really love it) Can't wait for Troublemaker 3, please finish it as soon as possible. So excited looking ur leaks for TBM 3 in ur IG post. The graphic will be more more better than TBM 2, and I hope "depth" of story will be there too.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Setelah belasan jam main dan 100% eksplorasi, saya sangat enjoy dengan dunia nya karena banyak hal-hal yang relate dengan kehidupan sehari-hari. Ditambah dengan Side Quest yang unik-unik. Minusnya di optimasi game, Spec PC saya sesuai dengan Recommended Spec di deskripsi Storenya tapi ternyata untuk mendapatkan 60FPS harus setting graphic sampai rata kiri dulu, belum lagi ketika ditempat ramai.. FPS kadang drop sampe ke 30

Belum pernah mainin game pertamanya, tapi sedikit denger bagaimana hype dan juga review dari game pertamanya, yang tentu aja diselimuti kelebihan dan juga kekurangan. Di game keduanya ini, mereka berhasil bikin sekuelnya jadi lebih fun lewat combatnya yang improve, cerita yang engaging karena pakai isu-isu yang dekat, serta elemen rhythm yang mereka bawakan dengan cukup niat. Tapi sayangnya memang game ini masih…

This expanded setting gives the game considerably more room for…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game ini punya potensi besar, tapi menurutku masih ada beberapa hal yang perlu diperbaiki supaya lebih maksimal: Story: Penulisan cerita masih terasa kurang rapi dan butuh pengembangan lebih dalam. Mini Games: Masih terasa seadanya, bisa lebih variatif supaya tidak cepat membosankan. Combat System: Terasa agak monoton setelah beberapa waktu, mungkin perlu variasi combo atau mekanik baru biar lebih fresh. Voice Over: Jujur agak aneh, seperti belum natural. Terasa lancar dan semangat…
