Fans have explored several different game engines as a way to recreate Oni with more advanced graphics and other features. Oni has also influenced a handful of later games. The focus below is on games that deliver an Oni-like experience, as opposed to fan-made Oni tribute games in general.

Engine ports

These were attempts to create a new "Oni" in a more modern game engine.

Oni-inspired games

Comment by a developer of Jedi Outcast under an Oni video on YouTube.

These games, and thus their sequels, directly took inspiration from Oni's combat system during development, though in Lugaru's case the inspiration was somewhat contrary because the developer, David Rosen, did not like Oni's non-contextual combat elements and sought to make a game that would be fully contextual (in other words, the main character will not launch an attack if the enemy is not in reach).

Oni-like games

These games had no influence from Oni (that we know of) but resemble Oni in various ways. Because different Oni fans are looking for different aspects of Oni when they ask about "Oni-likes", we've attempted to characterize what aspect of each game is Oni-like.
