[[caption-width-right:350:Thus begins the era of Necromancers]]

->"Nemo ante mortem beatus.\\
No man is happy before his death."
-->'''Herodotus''', ''Literature/TheHistories''

A visual novel created by Creator/{{Nitroplus}} and written by Shimokura Vio originally released in 2016.

The year is 2199, the worlds ecosystems have collapsed and humanity has now been plunged into a new ice age. Although mankind has managed to hold on inside the protection and relative safety of heated cities, life is anything but easy as crime and corruption run rampant. And to make matters worse, people known as Necromancers have appeared that make use of a mysterious form of bio technology to create their own personal armies of the living dead. To combat this, mercenaries and contract killers known as the Living Dead Stalkers roam the streets to take out any of the living dead and their corresponding Necromancers that they find or are hired to hunt down.

During one mission, the Living Dead Stalkers come across a strange young girl with no memories who had been kidnapped by a Necromancer, and through her, they start uncover deeper conspiracies going on within the cold confines of this future Tokyo.

''Tokyo Necro'' (凍京NECRO[[note]]The "Tokyo" here isn't written with the standard 東京 but instead in the slightly different 凍京, shifting its meaning slightly from "Eastern Capital" to "Frozen Capital".[[/note]]) marks a noticeable artistic shift for Nitro+. While the use of 3D CGI has not been uncommon for them, this entry marks the first time that it is used extensively not only for mechanical designs and backgrounds, but also for the human characters, with entire fight scenes fully animated using 3D models and CGI. But even if some things have changed, one thing has stayed the same. As with other Nitro+ works, Tokyo Necro is not for the faint of heart with blood and gore being both plentiful and gratuitous. Mixed with intense action, it is sure to satisfy fans.

A mobile tactical RPG spinoff titled ''Tokyo Necro Suicide Mission was developed and hosted by DMM was release in 2018, though it ended service just four years later in 2022.

In 2023 the original visual novel was finally translated and brought over to the west thanks to Creator/{{JAST}}.

!!''Tokyo Necro'' provides examples of the following tropes:

* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: Tokyo Necro is perhaps the entry by Nitro+ that goes for this the hardest. It uses a mixture of classical 2D elements as well as having full 3D for many scenes, especially for the high octane action scenes.
* AdvertOverloadedFuture: Neon signs advertising all manner of things litter Tokyo top to bottom with hardly any clear wall being visible in some places.
* ArtificialZombie: Rather than magic, all of the zombies present are created through the use of a strange serum created from science and biotechnology called Lemures. While the ingredients have been determined, no one is quite sure how exactly this serum actually works.
* BadassLongcoat: Longcoats and Badasses are all over the place in the setting with black leather coats especially seeming to be almost the central form of fashion.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: A rather infamous case with the all ages Steam release being rather severely cut down seemingly to eliminate ''anything'' that could be even remotely seen as objectionable, including whole routes and important scenes. Not just explicit content as would be normally expected, but any kind of suggestive or even violent content was also removed. It is mostly speculated to be a result of the repeated failure to get ''VisualNovel/FullMetalDaemonMuramasa'' to be released on the platform despite having had its explicit content removed, leading to the localizes overcompensating with this release.
* CrapsackWorld: The world is in a pretty sorry state with a new ice age having set in and cities are cramped with crime, corruption and abuse of power. Oh, and thanks to technology, necromancy is a thing as well.
* CyberGreen: The visual novel opens with a loading screen as if a computer was booting up, all done with a green color palette.
* {{Cyberpunk}}: A classical example, taking place in the snow covered and neon lit future Tokyo run by corporations with loads of criminal conspiracies running beneath the surface and mercenaries all around. Though it pulls an interesting twist by combining it with the classic elements of necromancy though using technology rather than magic.
* CyberpunkWithAChanceOfRain: Due to the current ice age, rather than rain, there is its colder neighbor, with the sky being near perpetually overcast with snowstorms being frequent.
* DiegeticInterface: The whole visual novel is designed to mimic the computer programs and gadgets that the characters use. Whenever a scene is shot through first person the the whole interface mimics whatever information the characters have access to and whatever they are seeing from their equipment.
* FoodPorn: There are a lot of shots and scenes with lavishly portrayed food and characters enjoying those meals.
* GlacialApocalypse: In 2199, the world has been struck with a new ice age with biting cold even in the once warmer countries. Thanks to this, heat has become a precious commodity.
* GreatOffscreenWar: The Sino-Amaerican war was a conflict in the backstory where the use of the living dead as cheap and perpetual soldiers were widely used.
* HellBentForLeather: Almost every character makes use of some kind of black leather apparel. Fitting given the amount of ass-kicking that is going on in this VN.
* RidiculouslyAliveUndead: A real danger is that while most zombies are the usual shambling corpses, others are so well made that it is pretty much impossible to tell that they are undead until you cut them open. That said, they will begin to rot after enough time as they aren't truly alive.
* ShoutOut: There are some rather unsubtle references to ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}'', not only with the rampant GunKata but even some scenes that directly reference the movie.
* WorldOfBuxom: Pretty much every female character is really well endowed with only a tiny handful having breasts that can be considered average or below. This is further emphasized by just how [[FormFittingWardrobe form-fitting a lot of clothes are]].
