Honestly I'd knock off half a star if I didn't get this on a humble bundle. Mediocre DMC clone with some nice presentation. Catchy ending theme too I guess.

Better than DMC

I hate admitting that this game was a fun little blast. I only spent a few hours on it, but the time I had was good. The combat is super cool, though a little clunky. The game has some massive...feats that it accomplishes in the medium of gaming. Totally.

I give Onee Chanbara Origin a 7!

Embarrassingly good. Story is whatever, aesthetics are goofy, but the combat is real stylish, halfway between musou and character action, with good parries and timing-based damage bonuses. The finisher is a bit finicky; it's mapped to attack+jump so when it doesn't register you end up bunny hopping around like a dipshit.

Most importantly, there is zero fat-- it's a remake of two games and it still wraps up in less than 4 hours.

pure rot of a game but good for my adhd

Slick hack & slash with tech you don't need to engage with in any way, but if you do, you're rewarded with some incredibly slick action.
