#3 Onimusha [Series]
GAME TITLE | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|
Onimusha [Series] | A series of Resident Evil/Devil May Cry style horror action games. A great blend of survival horror, and hack n’ slash. |
What is it in need of?
An HD remaster, possibly a sequel.
Why does it deserve it?
Yet another PS2 title that didn’t really get the love it truly deserved.
There were a few sequels, but most of them felt like they lost sight of the original game’s ideas. Even going into the time travel route for the third entry. And we all know how that works out for games/movies.
That being said, all of the games in the series were actually really good. I like the original the most, mainly for it’s creepy, dark atmosphere.
The game played like a strange blend of Resident Evil ( Pre-rendered backdrops for the first 2 games, puzzles and item collection ) & Devil May Cry ( Hack & slash combat ). It was challenging, but not to the point of ripping your hair out. Most important of all, it played nicely.
I would love to see an HD collection of this happen. If Devil May Cry can get one – and a new reboot – then Onimusha certainly can.
