Oni features fluid, dynamic animation, some exciting combat sequences, and a fairly involving story that links everything together.However, it suffers from a few very noticeable problems.
During the course of the game, you play as Konoko, a young woman with purple hair and a mysterious past.She is an expert in martial arts and is also proficient with various firearms, and you'll have to guide her through more thana dozen levels filled with treacherous enemy fighters who lie in ambush around virtually every corner.The game's story unfolds mostly through text memos you find, as well as dialogue in brief cutscenes that usually occur at the beginning and end of each mission.The dialogue is accompanied by close-up portraits of the characters doing the talking.These are generally well drawn, and the voice acting (which is in English) is generally convincing, such that you get a fairly good sense of the characters' distinct personalities.Even so, it's disappointing that both the hand-drawn character close-ups and the 3D character models themselves are so static.Neither the portraits nor the 3D characters' faces are animated, which can be distracting since many other games alreadyfeature 3D characters that are much more articulate or that at least move their mouths and blink their eyes.Nevertheless, some of the more action-packed cutscenes can be quite entertaining.
