![]() The only way to end this condition is to either backtrack to the stage’s Angel statue or use one of your limited inventory items, and the Tarman enemies can only be harmed while you’re in Blood Rage to add a bit of strategy to the mix.Īnother rather unique aspect is that your sword likewise becomes progressively soaked with blood with every kill, dripping puddles of red in your wake and eventually radiating an evil aura. This ghastly state dramatically increases her strength and speed to the point where you can destroy entire groups with one or two strikes, but lowers defense and continually drains health until she finally collapses. All this bloodletting also causes Aya to become increasingly splattered with gore and her initially placid stance increasingly labored until she suddenly transforms into an Orochi-style genocidal lunatic complete with red hair and purple skin. Not only can you chain regular attacks together to form quick combinations, but holding the analog stick in different directions allows you to suddenly interrupt them with an upward slice that launches your opponents into the air, a lunging thrust that pushes you several steps forward, or a wide crescent-shaped swing that merely hurls everybody else a mile away. Other than a seemingly inexhaustible supply of your basic reanimated undead (occasionally aflame), the later levels introduce bulky ogres, vicious canine creatures, and the Tarman from Return of the Living Dead – and that’s pretty much it.įortunately the actual combat engine is surprisingly well done. ![]() ![]() Not only are all the enemies and environments nowhere near as detailed, there isn’t much variety to them either. Man, it’s a shame that everything else looks like it belongs in a Dreamcast game. Look past Aya’s distinctively cheeky look – itsy-bitsy string bikini, flowing pink scarf, cowboy hat, spiky boots, and requisite lower-back tattoo, all topped off with a scabbard and belt dangling against her lace-hosed hip – and you’ll notice that ample chest has a tendency to quiver like jello whether she’s sashaying towards her next victim or cleaving its spine in two. Still, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that developer Tamsoft chose to put the lion’s share of their efforts into designing our main sword-swinging sister, samurai/cowgirl Aya. Of course since they’re already dead, just because there might be rotting heads, limbs, and even torsos flying all over the place doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about being kicked in the shins by a belligerent pair of disembodied legs. ![]() Hence The Oneechanpurru is more than just a pretty face: it’s an incredibly violent hack & slash action frenzy featuring huge mobs of zombies lurching all around you at every turn, not to mention veritable fountains of blood spraying everywhere as you hack them to pieces. But unlike most of their “sexy” gimmick offerings, this one actually has some good gameplay to back up the ridiculous premise. In this game you assume the role of a hot Japanese babe in a bikini who carves up the walking dead with her bloodthirsty katana.Īnd that pretty much sums up why the Oneechanbara series are some of the most popular imports for the PS2 despite being part of D3 Publisher’s budget Simple 2000 line.
