Description from IGDB IGDB

In the game, Neku Sakuraba and his allies are forced to participate in a game that will determine their fate. The battle system uses many of the unique features of the Nintendo DS, including combat that takes place on both screens, and attacks performed by certain motions on the touchscreen or by shouting into the microphone. Elements of Japanese youth culture, such as fashion, food, and cell phones, are key aspects of the missions.

Storyline IGDB

A boy named Neku wakes up in a crowded intersection of Shibuya in the heart of Tokyo – alone and unaware of how he got there. Then, he receives a text message: “Clear this mission...or face erasure.” With that, Neku is thrust into a life-or-death game that sends him scrambling down streets paved with one riddle after another.

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

The World Ends with You is an action role-playing game arranged into three chapters based on the three weeks that Neku is involved in the Reapers' Game, with each chapter further divided by each day of the week. The player controls Neku and his partner as they explore Shibuya to complete each day's mission. Although most missions require completion within a certain time for Neku and his partner, this timer is not correlated to the passage of time for the player. Shibuya is divided into several districts, some of which may be inaccessible on certain days or blocked by a wall that can only be removed by satisfying the request of a nearby Reaper, such as erasing Noise symbols, wearing a certain brand of clothing, or bringing an item. Neku can scan the area by activating a special pin, which reveals the thoughts of the non-player characters in the Realground and memes, hints which may help to progress the plot. The scan also reveals random Noise symbols that drift about the area, or in some cases, float around a specific character. The player initiates a battle by touching Noise symbols; each symbol constitutes one round of battle. Selecting more than one Noise symbol at a time results in a multi-round battle, referred to in-game as multiple noise "reductions", that gradually increases in difficulty with each round and has greater rewards upon success. Altering the difficulty of the Noise and the amount of health for Neku and his partner also alter the benefits gained. Each district has fashion trends that affect gameplay. By wearing pins or clothing from more popular brands in that district, items' effects will be improved; wearing the least fashionable items will do the opposite, and items from brands in between are not affected. However, the player can increase a brand's popularity in one district by repeatedly fighting battles in that district while wearing items of that brand. The player can enter shops to buy new pins, clothes, and food items that are consumed during battles to improve the characters' basic attributes. After completing the game, the player can return to any day in the story and play events again with the characters' current statistics and inventory. "Secret Reports", written segments that reveal background elements of the story, can be unlocked through this mode by completing specific missions during each day. Completing the game allows the player to access "Another Day", an additional day of missions that explains certain events related to the main storyline. It has a minigame called "Tin Pin Slammer", also known as "Marble Slash", that can be played against computer opponents or with up to three others via a wireless connection. It is similar to the marble game ringer, as each player attempts to use their pins to knock the other players' pins off the game board. The World Ends with You features "psych pins", decorative pins which possess powers that Neku can only activate while wearing them. Psych pins are used for combat, for "Tin Pin Slammer/Marble Slash", or as trade value for money or equipment. Most pins, particularly those used in combat, can become more powerful as the player accumulates "Pin Points" (PP) which can also lead to the evolution of the pins into more potent versions. Pin Points are mainly earned through battle, but can also be earned through a period of inactivity with the game, by interacting with other DS players, or randomly if none are found. Each of these methods influences the growth of pins.
