Music-Based Action Game “No Straight Roads” Gets Voice Cast Reveal & New Trailer!

No Straight Roads is a title I’m looking forward to playing. The title shared some exciting news during the Tokyo Game Show.

The new trailer for No Straight Roads features some interesting graphics and gameplay. The voice cast set to join the game’s Japanese version was also revealed.

Ayane Sakura (Psycho-Pass, Fire Emblem Heroes, My Hero Academia) will co-star as Mayday, guitarist of indie rock band Bunk Bed Junction and one of the game’s main playable protagonists.

Jun Fukuyama (Code Geass, Persona 5, Dissidia: Final Fantasy) will co-star as Zuke, Bunk Bed Junction’s drummer, and second playable character.

Joey Bizinger, aka The Anime Man, will also play the role of the ‘Music Elitist,’ a supporting character that players will encounter while exploring the world of Vinyl City.

Here’s the official description:

Take back Vinyl City – with rock! Embark on a music-based action-adventure as indie rock band members Mayday & Zuke and lead a musical revolution against EDM empire No Straight Roads.
