Onigiri (Video Game) Onigiri is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) by Cyberstep. It is set in a fantasy land reminiscent of ancient Japan in which humans and non-humans such as Oni and Youkai coexist. The game was originally released in Japan on February 6, 2014[1] and in North America on July 1, 2014. The English console versions were released on October 2, 2015[2] for the Xbox One and on October 6, 2015.[3] for the PlayStation 4.
Plot
The game is set in a fantasy version of ancient Japan that is filled with creatures of myth. Ages ago the terrible Kamigui wreaked trail of death and destruction across the land before being stopped by the goddess of the Sun, Amaterasu Oomikami. The goddess places three great Seals that forced the Kamigui to retreat. Now one of the Seals has shattered.[4]
The player character is an Oni whose peaceful life in the Western island of Onigashima is disturbed by the revival of the Kamigui.[5]
Gameplay
The game has different servers for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4 versions but the gameplay is the same for all versions.
Unlike most other MMORPGs that have different races or classes, in Onigiri players can only play as Oni and choosing a class involves picking a favored weapon to specialize in. When creating a character, players choose one of five traits that will determine which weapons they can use. The traits are Power (Axe, Oodachi, Spear, and Sword), Defensive (Spear and Staff), Kind (Staff and Wand), Daring (Axe, Oodachi, Dual Swords, Bow, and Sword), and Cautious (Dual Swords, Bow and Wand). Characters level up five basic stats: Power, Vitality, Wisdom, Mind and Dexterity. [6]
Partner System
In Onigiri players have eight NPC partners that each have distinct personalities and abilities.[7] which can be improved as they gain more affection for the player. Affection levels can be raised by giving the companions gifts that they prefer.[8]
Reception
Onigiri has garnered a number of favorable reviews. Bradly Storm of Hardcoregamer called it "a fairly competent and enjoyable hack-and-slash experience" even though the launch suffered from server-side latency issues.[9] Sheattack's Charnelle Schindel found the plot "lackluster" but found it generally "great fun to play."[10] Crunchyroll called it "a very solid title."[11]
