Onikira - Demon Killer Reviews

The art style of the game is interesting... and that's the only positive thing I can say about this game. Don't spend your money in this game... not even on discount. The reason? Simple, the game crashes every time you try to load your save. So it's impossible to play the damn thing. If they fix this, I might change my review of this... in the meantime I'm gonna keep this game in my new steam category "Broken" Score: 1/10

For what it has going for it, this game is a lot more functional than when I first played it a couple years ago. Back then, it was cluttered, unfinished and missing some things. Now that it seems to have left EA stage, I've given it another go. There has been a lot of what feels like improvement since the last time. However, it still feels rather unfinished but not just unfinished but lacking a polish needed to really make this game to it's fullest potential. It was simply fun to play it again but I keep finding myself going through parts of the game and pointing out how much work could be applied more to it. Like, there isn't sounds for the crashing buildings that fall onto the big boss in Stage 1. Small things like that make you wonder a little on just how much effort has been put in. This game does give you a story, gives you things to do, enemies to fight, things to collect .etc but all of that could still mean nothing. In the sense that there isn't too much love and effort poured in. I give this game so much credit for at least having been a leap of progress since the last time. But there could be so much more. Totally not worth the asking price, but I'd still say, try it for sale.

For a game that is in early access it is very well made. The fighting system is fluent and fun. It almost reminds me of Guacemelee due to the art and combo system. The different weapons/styles of fighting gives this game a bit of depth as well. The controls are super responsive, it is easy to feel like a badass while playing this. I play it on my Xb1 controller and it runs very well. I haven't seen an early access game to put forth such a competent game. Keep your eye's on this one! I cannot wait untill the full game is released!

Onikira - Demon Killer , a platform-hack'n Slash in Feudal Japan, but with demons and stuff. First of all, I bought this game because I can be a kick-ass samurai. But then, I was quite disappointed when I saw the Hack'n Slash element of this game. They want you to kill the demons and ghoul-like feudal japanish humanoids, in order to continue your journey and you have to fight in that place where they spawn. Game is platform type, so you can guess that there won't be enough place to fight your way , but still , with DmC-style combo recount , you forget these awfull element and begin to change your weapons and kill some demonish men. Quite, fun.. Except, game crashed when I try to record the game. And crashed when I try to fight the 1st boss. But still, this game is still in alpha and needs a chance to correct it's mistakes. If you really like Strider or Mark of the Ninja, then I would recommend you this game. Story is quite fine, but could be better. But still, visual and art of Onikira is quite interesting , made me remember Okami a little. The point is, if you want to play a platform game with samurai , demons and combo-having Hack'n Slash, Onikira is just the game.

Onikira seemed like an interesting game concept - Thematically similar to samurai meets zombie/demon apocalypse games (Hello Onimusha), albeit with a more stylish combat bent. Unforunately, interesting concepts can't really save a game which has atrocious bugs, ranging with minor bugs ranging from the game crashing, and major bugs being your save file being deleted -after- it decides to crash. Unforunately, I can't really recommend this game to anyone, especially since the developers have ceased worked on this game or keeping in touch with the community. Buyer Beware- Look elsewhere.

Written on 29.11.2020 Don't buy this game if you value your sanity. It's a broken mess that crashes when ever it wants. Enemies are boring an annoying. You often have to fight them over instant kill pits. There are color coded enemies for every weapon. And to top it all off game will drop your inputs left and right in addition to the ever increasing input lag the longer you play.

Feels like an unfinished mobile game. Too bad, because the art is nice and it has potential. The combat is a bit clunky and don't feel like you are hitting your enemies. Overall as I played tons of platformers, I can't recommend this one, there's so much better games for the price tag. I.E. Mark of the Ninja.

Avoid this game.... it constantly glitches. Awesome artwork and Wonky controls. Took me days to complete because of all the glitches......

Another abandoned game to fill steam store and make profit based on old promises that just didnt saw the light of day. It was suported until 2015, short after leaving early access (wich had a more stable version tbh) and the issues started to arise, constant crashes, resseting configurations when ever you launch the game, resseting/deleting your savegame (until i started to make a backup of my save, i was unable to pass level 3), and i could go on, but its already enough to just leave it be until steam remove it. Just dont buy this game, because if you do, you are supporting this kind of behiavor from developers, that still promise a miracle patch no one is working on, and still profiting from sales the more casual/unaware gamers still do on the store. No, just no, steam needs to start cleaning the house from this crap. Im going to add the way i found to be able to play until completation and avoid save deletion, every time i play and leave the game, i go to Onikira folder Data/saveinformation folder and backup those 4 files, and everytime i want to play again, i just restore them (you are able to keep each chapter you unlocked, just have to start from the begining since checkpoints dont work) Never leave the game middle chapter since chekpoints dont actually work unless on the same run, next time you start the game, it reset from the begining of the chapter if you backup the files, if dont, you will start from the first chapter. Its annoying but does the job to complete the game, hope it helps the ones who want to finish it.

unless you enjoy endless crashing i would steer clear of this one. its a great game, tons of fun, but when i go to launch the game and load my saved game, it crashes within a minute. ive sent a support email to the devs with no response. their suggestion (in the discussions) for fixing it is deleting your save data and starting over. that would be fine except that doesnt work either. disappointing to see a developer neglect such a blatant and game breaking issue. you would think they would want to take care of the people supporting them and their game. if a patch is magically released i will pick this back up. but for now, stay away.
