Revision as of 04:26, 12 January 2025

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.

Name Engine Under development
Ion Eyes Unreal Engine 4 No
Konoko Payne Flexine No
Oni Deathmatch Multiplayer GoldSrc No
Oni-Round2[1] Unity No
OniBGE Blender Game Engine/UPBGE Eevee No
Serious Konoko Serious Engine 2 No
UnrealOni Unreal Engine 4 No

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 Oni fans are often thinking about different aspects of the game when they ask for "Oni-likes", we've attempted to characterize what aspect of each game is Oni-like. All of the below games are third-person.

Name Year Platform Female hero Cyberpunk(-ish) Anime-style Deep melee Gunplay
Æon Flux 2005 PS2 Yes Yes No Yes Yes
Death by Degrees 2005 PS2 Yes No Yes Yes Yes
Devil May Cry 3 2005 PS4, XBone No No Yes Yes Yes
Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition 2005 PS4, XBone Yes No Yes Yes Yes
EOE: Eve of Extinction 2002 PS2 No No Yes Yes No
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2004 PS2 Yes Yes Yes No Yes
Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2 2000 Windows Yes No No No Yes
Remember Me 2013 PS3, X360 Yes Yes No No[1] No
Sonic Unleashed (Werehog levels only) 2008 PS2, PS3, X360, Wii No No No Yes No
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast 2002 PS4, Windows, Xbox No No No Yes Yes
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy 2003 PS4, Windows, Xbox Yes[2] No No Yes Yes
The Matrix: Path of Neo 2005 PS2, Xbox, Windows No Yes No Yes Yes
Tomb Raider 2013 PS4, XBone, Windows Yes No No No Yes
ZeiramZone 1996 PS1 Yes Yes Yes Yes No
  1. ↑ The melee is complex, but combo chains are customized in menus, not performed ad hoc.
  2. ↑ You can choose the gender of the player character.
