The all-new Action-RPG, ONINAKI tells the story of one Watcher on a journey to protect Life, after Death.
About the story
Reincarnation is the foundation of our way of life. We celebrate the lives we’ve been given, and offer up prayers for the next. It is grief of death which shackles the living, and causes the dead to stray. Indeed, there is no greater affront to reincarnation. So do we turn our grief to joy as we send off the dead. But the souls of those who held back their tears in life still need salvation in death. A duty that falls to the Watchers. Their task is to guide the wandering souls known as the Lost, and serve as keepers of the Living World and the Beyond. The Watchers sever the bonds that tie the Lost to this world, and send them on to the next. They navigate the emotions of the living and the dead. They prize life above all else. This is the story of one Watcher.

Critic Reviews
By Lukáš Lindner
Oninaki does impress with its cute visual presentation and very well done soundtrack. The core gameplay is a fun but repetitive combat system. The sory can keep you going through it, but its unbalanced pace can discourage many players. Oninaki, with its obvious flaws, is definitely not for everyone, but it surely can find its audience.

I hoped to get lost in Oninaki, but I instead found some half-hearted action combat and an emotionally raw and sometimes wacky tale.

Fight with crowds of enemies with slow progress through the levels over time gets boring. But the plot can hold you back. And although it is not a real revelation, it can offer several unexpected surprises.

Oninaki is a fun RPG with interesting combat mechanics that ultimately fails to reach greatness.

If you like anime style graphic game and a you want to play a light rpg game with loving music and intriguing narrative, you should experience Oninaki. But i can't deny that the combat problems that you may bother you in the game. In fact If you want Very good gameplay and deep combats, you can't achieve in Oninaki.
