Bungie's game '''[[Oni]]''' is sometimes confused with other works and characters titled "Oni". This isn't surprising considering the popularity of the [[Oni (myth)|Japanese mythical oni]]. Below we've listed some prominent examples of other "Oni"s. Due to the shared inspiration, perhaps interesting similarities can occasionally be found. | |||

A 2023 Nintendo Switch title with [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=358wiFqkx1w a very cute art style] but mixed reviews. A partial game description from the publisher: "The protagonist, Kuuta, attacks the enemy using his club. Kazemaru sucks the enemy's spirit out of its body, and by destroying that spirit, Kuuta can then claim victory. Enjoy an all-new, unique co-op experience by playing both Kuuta and Kazemaru at the same time! […] The player can also level up by running away from pursuing monsters, like a game of tag, and collecting mushrooms that grow in clusters to purchase upgraded clubs." | |||
The main character is himself an oni, a demon warrior, and it seems that his goal is to absorb other oni to get stronger. The children's game of tag, called "oni" in Japan, is also somehow a part of the gameplay. | The main character is himself an oni, a demon warrior, and it seems that his goal is to absorb other oni to get stronger.
