Oni-likes and engine ports

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.

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.

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 free, non-contextual combat 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, and the attack used is based on the physical relation of the player character to the enemy rather than on the specific input of the player).

• Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (2003)
• Lugaru (2005) and its sequel
• Overgrowth (2017)
• Reikoneo (in development)
