Square Enix’s Tokyo RPG Factory at this time launched their third retro-styled RPG, Oninaki. Following I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear they’re shaking issues up a little bit, this time taking extra an action-RPG angle. You can see a few of that bif-boff-pow within the launch trailer beneath, and Oninaki does have a demo so you may attempt it your self at no cost.
I’ll flip you over to Squeenix’s blurb to elucidate what’s occurring there:
“Oninaki depicts the story of Kagachi, a young Watcher whose duty is to usher Lost Souls into the next world. After meeting a mysterious girl named Linne, his fate becomes entwined with blood and death. Kagachi can unleash the powers of Daemons against his foes, using them to provide unique and powerful skills and abilities during gameplay.”
You ought to see me summoning the powers of the Hotmail mailer daemon.
It is attention-grabbing to see Tokyo RPG Factory wandering a little bit additional afield with their newest retrorama, following two pretty generic and poorly-written games. Steven T Wright mentioned in our Lost Sphear review, “More than anything, Lost Sphear serves as a reminder that there’s a lot more to capturing the spirit of your idols than just miming them in your bathroom mirror, and I hope that Tokyo RPG Factory learn that lesson before they release yet another love letter to the exact same game.” Whether they’ve or not, I couldn’t inform you at this level.
Oninaki is out now on Steam for Windows, priced at £40/€50/$50. The demo is over on that web page too, simply search for the large “Download ONINAKI Demo” label (extra apparent than Steam’s common means of hiding demos in sidebars).
Tokyo RPG Factory stays my second-favourite unglamorous games title, proper behind the publishing firm GameMill. All we have to full this provide chain is a GameFarm making artwork property and a Dudley RPG Canal to distribute the completed games.
