This short, stout, and surly little demon cares for little else besides battle and revenge, but he does take the time to befriend the ghostly Kazemaru, occasionally help out the merchant Zenisuke, and over the course of the entire game, slowly becomes close to the mysterious girl Kanna, the only human on the lonely island. To defeat his arch nemesis Momotaro, Kuuta strives to become the mightiest oni by defeating the spirits of demon warriors in a series of trials that will bestow him with new powers. Players control Kuuta, the only demon to survive the legendary battle of Onigashima. All For Revenge Kuuta is focused on his goal but isn’t so standoffish that he doesn’t make a few friends on Kisejima Island. Unfortunately, at nearly every turn, there’s a fatal flaw hindering the enjoyment of each point of ONI‘s appeal. Now that ONI: Road to be the Mightiest Oni is finally here, I can confidently say that many of the aspects that drew me in were delivered on: the game is beautiful, endearing, somber, and has a killer soundtrack. With staff members who’d previously worked at Hironobu Sakaguchi’s studio Mistwalker as well as PlayStation, things looked even more promising. ONI appeared to have a distinct focus on presentation and polish for an indie game, and the choice of music gave it an intriguing melancholy tone (which is even more interesting in contrast to the game’s cute visuals). Its charming character designs, Breath of the Wild-ish art style, and teaser trailer featuring a gorgeous vocal track really impressed me. Oni: Road to be the Mightiest Oni releases digitally this week, but if you can hold out until the end of April, you can pre-order it now on disc from Red Art Games and receive a free keychain and tote bag.ONI: Road to be the Mightiest Oni immediately appealed to me when I first heard it was in the works back in 2021. While two-player co-op isn’t available, players will have the unique experience of controlling both Kuuta and Kazemaru, the demon and spirit respectively, at the same time. The game promises a variety of enemies and missions on the demon-infested island of Kisejima, and you can even level up by running away from enemies in a demonic game of tag. Play as an adorable-but-fearsome demon, accompanied by his spirit partner, and challenge other Oni spirits in Oni: Road to be the Mightiest Oni.
