ONINAKI
Reincarnation is the foundation of our way of life. We celebrate the lives we’ve been given, and offer up prayers for the next. It is grief of death which shackles the living, and causes the dead to stray. Indeed, there is no greater affront to reincarnation. So do we turn our grief to joy as we send off the dead. But the souls of those who held back their tears in life still need salvation in death. A duty that falls to the Watchers. Their task is to guide the wandering souls known as the Lost, and serve as keepers of the Living World and the Beyond. The Watchers sever the bonds that tie the Lost to this world, and send them on to the next. They navigate the emotions of the living and the dead. They prize life above all else. This is the story of one Watcher.

Oninaki is a game that I personally enjoy but I am sure many people might find it dull with an uninteresting story. However for anyone who wants to experience a diablo or POE style game that is more artistic with a Japanese aesthetic that provides a slower more grounded and methodical combat that is beautiful to look at then you might enjoy Oninaki.

So my opinion on this game is pretty mixed. On the one hand the game is fairly fun gameplay-wise with two ways of traversing the maps, each with their own enemies and quirks, on the other hand the story is... jarring. Many of the story elements seem to happen too fast and resolve just as fast with a major death being revealed then gotten over with being the biggest example of this. It's like the writers had a beginning and an ending in mind but weren't really up to writing the middle part. The story is... okay... it's just filled with these impactful events that don't feel all that impactful because they happen in the span of a few minutes.
That being said, as many people have pointed out, after you get the hang of the combat it feels very samey for the rest of the game. You'll basically settle into a set of 4 daemons (mostly using only one except when needing to cheese certain enemies that aren't easily killed in close-range) and then never change them up after that...

Disclaimer : This is based on my opinion, no hard feeling.
Game has a good story line, characters, weapons, skills and environment. Don't expect the game mechanics is fluid like other good game. Repetitive features of enemy, NPC and maps makes this game looks bad, maybe Developer need to make improvements on that one. Worth to buy when there's discount, not at full price. But I will surely repeat to play this game again due to the decent story.
