Square Enix has released a new gameplay trailer and further details on the characters in ONINAKI, the upcoming all-new action-RPG developed by the talented Tokyo RPG Factory team.

ONINAKI will be Tokyo RPG Factory’s third title and promises to continue the studio’s mission to take inspiration from classic Japanese role-playing games to create a brand-new experience on modern platforms following the releases of the critically acclaimed I Am Setsuna and LOST SPHEAR.

In ONINAKI, players will journey as Kagachi, a young Watcher who embodies the tenets of reincarnation, and whose sacred duty is to usher Lost Souls into the next world. Upon meeting Linne, a mysterious young girl with no memory of her past, his fate becomes entwined with blood and death. During his journey, players will also meet Kushi, an exemplary Watcher and trusted leader, Mayura, a Watcher with a kind heart, and the malicious Night Devil, a swordsman from a forgotten time who is hunting Linne.

The game is currently scheduled for a Summer release.

I really adore cel-shaded games. It's a breath of fresh air from all the 'realistic' looking video games flooding the industry.

 

[Danjin44]

Yeah, I’m definitely liking the character designs and entire art direction.

It certainly is a breath of fresh air truly needed in the industry.

 

[ghairat]

Looks amazing!

 

[TheDuskwalker]

Mayura is bae.
Hope it's fun, and I'm glad they brought on Chrono Trigger's director as creative producer.

Chrono Trigger had three directors.

Anyway, the concept art is great, but the art direction itself isn't really different from what Tokyo RPG Factory has done so far so I'm not really getting half these posts here.

I’m digging the designs and art direction. Always loved cel-shaded games! What I didn’t like in the trailer is that I felt the animation is a bit rough. Im in though

 

[VertigoOA]

Kinda looks like Transistor visually but not as pleasing with its art direction. I find the character art obnoxious so imagine most will feel different.

 

[Jon Neu]

Ugly as sin.

 

[shark sandwich]

Looks... better than their last couple games at least. Which isn’t saying much.

 

[Silver Wattle]

These stories are super boring, can we go back to saving the world?

 

[MagnesG]

From Tokyo Factory RPG...

Tread with care.

 

[bigedole]

I've liked both of their previous games, will definitely give this one a whirl once it goes on discount. The release price is always too high for what amounts to an indie game with a bigger budget.

 

[ValiantTraveler]

Can't help but read the title as Annunaki.

I was very skeptical about this game initially but I'm warming up to it. Character design is solid and there is camera work in the cutscenes (not sure how to phrase this...). I'll keep an eye on it.

I bet the dark knight guy makes a heel turn by the end of the game.

 

[UltimaKilo]

Cautiously optimistic. I need to see more. Who is doing the music?

 

[CloudSolace]

I don't like these chibi style RPG games. Pass.

 

[TeamGhobad]

looks like every other japanese game ever made.

[Danjin44]

This trailer just might have completely sold me on this game. Its kind of similar system to Blades in Xenoblade 2 and Demons in Persona.

 

[EDMIX]

Yeah, I’m definitely liking the character designs and entire art direction.

Really? this isn't really a game I think you'd like. You hate JRPGs and you hate anime looking stuff /s lol

This a day 1 for me. I trust the team and liked I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear

 

[Exentryk]

Combat looks good. With so many weapons, it should offer some variety as well.

The combat has generally been good from this studio going by their past games, so hopefully this one is fun to play too.

 

[sublimit]

Sorry i also posted it in the character thread (is the search function of GAF messed up?I searched for Oninaki and this thread didn't came up).

Game looks really good IMO. If it gets a physical release then it's day 1 buy for me.

If the Japanese version getting physical version then there is good chance we are getting on as well.

Holy crap this cover is so beautiful! If we get a physical release i hope it has the same artwork.

Did Lost Sphear had the same cover with the Japanese version? I didn't liked that cover very much.

 

[Danjin44]

Yap! The cover art for Oninaki looks absolutely gorgeous!!!

Did Lost Sphear had the same cover with the Japanese version? I didn't liked that cover very much.

Yeah I think so and I agree the cover art for Lost Sphear is little bit in boring side.

 

[JimiNutz]

Looks beautiful.
I love cell shaded games and even though action RPG isn't a favourite genre of mine I will probably give this a go due to the way that it looks alone.

respeck, I'm going to just print it out and replace the US one if its not as good as this one lol
