An intense action anime thriller comes to life in Oni. As an elite member of the tech crimes task force, Konoko is an agent on a mission to fight the evil Syndicate. But things are not always as they seem... Konoko is haunted by unknown demons of her past, and the truth threatens to send her over the edge.
The events of Oni take place in or after the year 2032. The game world is a dystopia, an Earth so polluted that little of it remains habitable. To solve international economic crises, all nations have combined into a single entity, the World Coalition Government. The government is Orwellian, telling the populace that what are actually dangerously toxic regions are wilderness preserves, and using its police forces, known publicly as the Technological Crimes Task Force (TCTF), to suppress opposition. The player character, code-named Konoko (voiced by Amanda Winn-Lee), full name later given as Mai Hasegawa, begins the game working for the TCTF. Soon, she learns her employers have been keeping secrets about her past from her. She turns against them as she embarks on a quest of self-discovery. The player learns more about her family and origins while battling both the TCTF and its greatest enemy, the equally monolithic criminal organization called the Syndicate. In the game's climax, Konoko discovers a Syndicate plan to cause the Atmospheric Conversion Centers, air-treatment plants necessary to keep most of the world's population alive, to catastrophically malfunction. She is partially successful in thwarting the plot, saving a portion of humanity.
So um unfortunately this wasn't the game for me. The game is straight up full of puzzles and action with barely any room to breathe. The enemies are frankly all the same. There's like 5 different models of the enemies and like 5 different weapons you can steal from them. Therefore not much versatility in this. The world itself feels empty.
The graphics are alright, I aint expecting much but considering this is from the same company that made GTA....like they could have added some more budget to this cause the budget was not budgeting unfortunately. The voice acting is alright, so are the cut scenes.
The gameplay can be junky at times, unfortunately what was a negative to me was at how difficult this game Wanted to be. Although the game provides checkpoints...it never follows through if you die. You literally start back up to the beginning of the chapter which imo it annoys me because that means a lot of time will feel wasted. Also heals and ammo are not frequent enough considering the amount of enemies charging at you...yea definitely not something I'd play again.
