Onee Chanbara Origin

"While the story is unremarkable and the gameplay doesn&s;t provide any innovations to the aged formula, I still very much enjoyed my time with OneeChanbara Origin as it still left me with a satisfying feeling even with the short time …"

"Onee Chanbara Origin marks the welcome return of zombie-slaying bikini samurai action. With its crazy B movie premise and absurd amount of violence, it delivers a ridiculous formula that will appeal to any gamer who doesn&s;t take things too seriously."

"While there&s;s a chance you can&s;t play it without fiddling with things, there&s;s a fun game in here. It&s;s expensive, with far too much DLC, but it&s;s fun."

"While the gameplay itself is competent, this is short, shallow game with very little enemy variety, poor level design, and some egregious price-gouging."

"Onee Chanbara Origin is a hack-and-slash that does nothing more than any other hack-and-slash available. It’s best moments are the fluid and fast action when you’re cutting through hordes of enemies at a smooth frame rate with oceans of blood …"

"Because of the game’s appearance, it might be a hard sell to some people. I know I will have a tough timing convincing friends to play it, even though it is up their proverbial alley in terms of mechanics and …"

"A true and fun action, sluggish by outdated graphics and a longevity below expectations."

"Onee Chanbara Origin remains a cathartic, bloodthirsty, and goofy bit of chaos, whose aesthetic charms have been boosted thanks to Tamsoft&s;s excellent audio/visual upgrade. Unfortunately, the passage of time has somewhat dulled Origin&s;s gameplay, which has been far superseded by …"

"Onee Chanbara ORIGIN is a bit of a mess. It’s a premium-priced game with next to nothing in content and numerous technical issues to boot. Unfortunately, its combat is all it has going for it."

"Onee Chanbara Origin isn&s;t a great game, but it has much more fun combat and smoother visuals than previous entries in the series."

"Onee Chanbara Origin is a serviceable remake of a couple classic PS2 titles. Developer Tamsoft does a great job giving the games a visual makeover and a much more modern feel. Combat is solid, though a bit basic at times. …"

"But otherwise? Caveat emptor. This is a fun game when it works, but the “working” part isn’t assured. It’s just that the technical issues don’t render it unplayable."

"while I had a fun time mowing down the Undead, I wouldn’t really say Onee Chanbara Origin is a great game. The characters are shallow, obviously designed to be something nice to look at, which doesn’t sit well in a …"

"Onee Chanbara Origin is an addictive, arcade hack and slash. It’s about accumulating high scores and executing the best combos. Unfortunately, the music just doesn’t work well. Instead of adrenaline-pumping metal, it’s techno. Not the good kind either. For those …"

"OneeChanbara Origin‘s gameplay is very enjoyable, but if it was longer than five hours, it would have worn out its welcome. It is highly replayable, and has a variation of the “Bloody Palace” survival mode and a secret third playable …"

"If you love films like Planet Terror, fast-paced, Devil May Cry-inspired combat, and babes in bikinis whose sole purpose is to slaughter as many zombies as possible in the name of revenge, then Onee Chanbara: Origin is a title well …"

"Onee Chanbara Origin is an over-the-top, cheesy, bloody, action game where you get to mindlessly slay zombies while looking sexy. The gameplay can be fun but the short run time, nonsense story, and the few other issues I had with …"

"With added defensive maneuvers to dodge or parry allows more interactions when it comes to One Chanbara Origin’s zombie slasher.. Traditionally, the game always lacks in many aspects and somehow this PS4 version of the title also didn’t disappoint. At …"

"It’s by no means the most polished hack n’ slash out there, paling in comparison to Platinum and Capcom’s works, but it still managed to offer some mindless, cathartic fun. Shut down your brain, and you’ll easily look past its …"

"This isn’t the kind of cerebral character action experience offered by the likes of Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden, but it isn’t on the opposite extreme either. It’s a solid, polished, competent sword fightin’, zombie splatterin’, anime-inspired romp that …"

"Onee Chanbara Origins lacks a lot in terms of content and its combat has simply not progressed well with the new changes. It&s;s a title that, perhaps, will become a foundation for a special game in the future, but for …"

"Odds are if you&s;re reading this review, you know what to expect from Onee Chanbara Origins. It&s;s Dynasty Warriors with fewer characters, smaller stages and instead of historical figures, it&s;s zombies and cute girls. This is enough to make it …"

"The most important thing in a game is to be fun and engaging. Onee Chanbara Origin manages to fulfill this mission with praise, delivering a dynamic and full-featured hack and slash adventure. The original style brought by the remake and …"

"Tempered at the edges as it might be, Onee Chanbara Origin is still crass and skimpy, and an explicit work of nostalgic grindhouse for anyone that remembers that genre. Additionally, short as it may be, it&s;s genuinely well-made for what …"

"It&s;s easy to pick it up and play short bursts. While the story isn’t the most unique it’s interesting enough to have you see it through and the game looks great."

"Onee Chanbara Origin is going to appeal to fans of the series or those just looking for a bit of mindless hack-and-slash action where they can kind of leave their brains at the door. That being said? The game is …"

"The whole essence of the title revolves precisely around its desire to bring back to our times a title of 16 years ago: without having these premises in mind, the risk is to see only the defects that the game …"

"Onee Chanbara Origin is what it is: a remake of a couple of simple and repetitive action games that largely rely on titillation and buckets of gore to keep players’ eyes glued to the screen. Dig beneath its shallow exterior, …"

"Issues aside, there&s;s a cool, fun game to play on offer here (albeit somewhat bare-bones), marred by technical hiccups and an awful DLC policy. We can&s;t fully recommend this game despite its merits. Once the technical issues get resolved and …"

"Onee Chanbara Origin is a repetitive hack-and-slash game that would be a fun rental at best."

"Onee Chanbara Origin is both a remake of the first two games and a proper introduction to the classic series. It’s a cheesy experience that embodies everything that defines the hack ‘n’ slash genre. At the same time, it gives …"

"I have to say, Onee Chanbara Origin is a solid series entry. The new art style looks great, the music is fantastic and the gameplay is really fun. The problem here is I feel like the pricing on this one …"

"D3 Publisher has finally released OneeChanbara Origin in the West with a new PC version. We take a look and what&s;s new and how it holds up."

"Oneechanbara Origin rights a lot of wrongs found in the early entries, yet it still feels oddly antiquated. The combat is riotous and entertaining, but the overall experience becomes monotonous after a few hours of play. Plus, it&s;s barebones. With …"
