We're keeping a beady one on this. Look for a longer, more ravishing feature when there's more of a game for us to play around with. Oni is a new third-person action game from Bungie of Myth and Marathon fame that claims to blend martial arts and shooting action in an ultra-realistic environment. The 3D Anime-influenced game tells the story of Konoko sounds like a Womble , a one-woman crime-fighting SWAT team with a grudge, who is haunted by oni meaning ghosts, in Japanese.
The game aims for a seamless unification of martial arts and gunplay, where dispatching enemies doesn't rely simply on firepower. A swift blow splitting an opponent's knee sends him to the floor, where you can fill his head with lead. Or you can kill the lights, drop a concussion grenade and dive through a plate glass window.
Konoko's fighting skills and attitude develop as the game gets darker and more dangerous. Oni takes place in an urban jungle designed by real architects, where you can interact with pretty much all the objects around you - you can throw chairs down the stairs if you're being followed, for instance. All these features are also available in the multiplayer game, which should be most interesting.
Bungie brought a unique flavor to the real-time strategy genre with Myth. With Oni and its heroine, Konoko, the company's out to show third-person gamers what a pussycat Lara Croft is.
When Konoko runs out of ammo, shell drop her weapons and start cracking spines and obliterating skulls with a full complement of martial-arts moves--she'll even grab her opponents' weapons!
Oni uses interpolated character movements for super-smooth transitions between kicks, jumps, and flips. If Oni lives up to its potential, it could be s premiere third-person action tide.
On some fundamental level, the order of things has always been the same, varying little. Occasionally, there is a bright, brief flare in the darkness, illuminating a few, that they may spread wisdom to many. If Oni was like this, it would be a classic. Set in the year , Oni gives us glimpse into a nearly utopian future, where the world is controlled by a single government and people live in great mega-cities across the globe.
With a mysterious past and near superhuman abilities, Konoko is a one-woman strike force, charged with investigating a string of robberies perpetrated by the mysterious Syndicate. The Syndicate , one of the last vestiges of organized crime, has come out of the shadows to take on the TCTF, growing more brash and aggressive with each victory.
Soon, she becomes embroiled in a plot that threatens the life of every man, woman, and child on Earth. Stylized heavily with Anime elements, Oni is unique.
Each encounter with an enemy gives you the chance to empty a clip worth of bullets into their chests or deliver a stunning spin kick to their jaws. However, even with this clever approach to gameplay, Oni suffers greatly in some very important areas.
Lacking any kind of strong multiplayer or non-story based play, Oni must stand on the strength of its gameplay and plotline. To start off with, although it can be a bit frustrating especially given the skill the AI exhibits when fighting, Oni is a blast to fight with. Konoko has a series of basic combat moves and special power moves that she can use to reduce her opponent to a pile of quivering goo and a full complement of throws allow her to toss her enemy to the ground.
Its hard to express how fun it can be to completely cream an enemy Striker one of the Syndicate thugs and then toss him off of a building with a well timed throw. Imagine blazing away with a plasma rifle while sliding into an opponent's legs, only to spring up and do a leg throw on the opponent behind him! Granted, what I just described is probably the most difficult maneuver you can even attempt, but it could still be done. In a way, this is also one of the strongest drawbacks to the game, as it certainly seems like most of the enemies know a lot more about fighting than you do, especially when it comes to using firearms.
Without the ability to save anywhere Oni relies on automatic save points , relative scarcity of weapons and powerups, and a strong, tough-to-defeat AI, it can be quite frustrating to repeat some levels the dozens of times necessary to pass them.
Bungie spent a lot of time trying to replicate much of the gameplay that makes fighting games like Bloody Roar or Streetfighter fun and then combining it with the gunplay that makes games like Half-Life or Quake into classics. An unfortunate lack of multiplayer or skirmish features severely limit its replay value, but most fans should get enough enjoyment out of the fighting to take it for one spin around the block.
With the ability to switch easily between gunplay and a fist fight make it entertaining in the short run. Although some of the level design is simplistic, without much clutter, all of the graphics in Oni are to be commended. With reflective surfaces, a wide variety of well designed textures, and gigantic level design, the game provides a good treat for the eye. Definitely one of the first in a new series of next generation titles, Oni exhibits strong level design and a sense for extremely detailed characters, adding to the suspension of disbelief that makes these titles strong.
The music, when it comes around, is definitely worth a good listen. With a strange techno sound, the soundtrack helps reinforce the very anime style of this game.
If a weapon is knocked out of your hands, rivals will definitely pick it up and use it against you. Huge clusters of enemies can be bypassed or killed in stealth mode.

That's right - you need to die and restart to finish the level. I found two broken levels that couldn't be completed until I restarted. The first game that punishes you for not dying. Heck, for that matter, the game punishes you for finishing a level. Even if you hoard your hypos health packs and your ammunition, it is all taken away from you when you start a new level.
They send poor Konoko to take on a platoon of bad guys but don't even bother to give her a gun, ammunition, a hypo or even a force shield - even though I finished the previous level relatively quite well equipped.
I played by their rules and fought with my fists instead of my gun. I stealthily avoided confrontation when possible to conserve my hypos and health and then had all of it taken away from me.
In the later parts of the game - the parts that may take minutes to complete without a save game feature , you will face up to five thugs at once.
This wouldn't be so bad if you could take out two or three from a distance, or even if you could whip out the pistol and shoot your way through a tough area. Combine this impossible situation with the fact that you'll probably have to replay this level times and the game suddenly doesn't seem like that much fun.
Considering all the work that went into the game engine, the level design appears rather elementary. If you've played the demo, then you've seen a typical level - sparse, barren, boring and square.
I haven't seen this many right angles since Doom. The levels are among the least memorable of any action game in the past couple of years.
The entire game -- yes, the entire game -- consists of running from room to room looking for a computer to unlock the next door. No inventive or ingenious solutions such as flooding a room and swimming out a ventilation shaft or jumping on a conveyer belt to take a shortcut around the bad guys.
You can envision the line of thinking: "Obtuse angles get in the way of her punching and kicking. Caves and castles get in the way of that, too. We need warehouses to maximize the hand-to-hand combat potential. Get rid of that ammo and add another unarmed soldier for Konoko to fistfight. Do that again for all 19 levels. On the positive side, the character animations are among the best in any game.
Konoko doesn't simply run, she runs like an anime character - leaning far forward with sharp accentuated movements exactly as expected. Konoko's combat moves are fluid and smooth without any unrealistic snapping and warping. The audio is quite good and the music score fits perfectly with the game. Graphics performance ranks among the best for smooth framerates and consistent performance. Oni sells itself as an innovative action game featuring hand-to-hand combat.
In those words, the game succeeds. But Oni also sells itself as fun. To say that Oni succeeds in this attempt would be an overstatement, for the developers threw too many kinks into the equation and they just don't add up. Oni would be an above-average game if Bungie hadn't blown the in-game save feature. That one decision, though not fatal in itself, becomes critical when combined with the ever-increasing difficulty and the overt bias against guns, ammo and health.
A patch could help turn the game around, but don't hold your breath -- Bungie's primary focus on consoles is evidenced by the entire design of Oni. Screenshots from MobyGames. Pandawatch 1 point. Halo Nerd here looking to revisit a game I only played on a friends ps2 years ago.
Elruna 2 points. I don't know why I didn't search for this game earlier. I remember finding a CD with Oni demo on it as a kid and being surprised at how smooth and varied the combat was. I wish more games these days had that top center 3rd person instead of the side. God, I sounded old. I have been addicted to this till now. Wait what 4 points. Downloaded the game and the AE and the game opens, but when I try to play, any movement of the mouse sends me spinning in clockwise circles and I can't look around.
Any tips? Grubbin7 0 point. What an awesome find! I remember playing this game many, many years ago and was happy to find this link to download it! Installed it on Windows 10 platform and game had trouble starting. Installed the anniversary edition located below in the comments and happily after installing it ran like a charm! After 20 years year by year I compared every game experience with ONI, no one ever matched, I do not understand why this game never became popular?
