Overview

About

Onee Chanbara Origin is a complete HD remake with all new art style graphics and optimized storytelling, combining both The Onechanbara and The Onechanbara 2 games, which were originally released for PlayStation 2 in 2004 and 2005. Now featuring all renewed main character designs, redesigned by main character Onechanbara series designer Katsumi Enami, Onee Chanbara Origin tells a new interpretation of the story of the two half-sisters, Aya and Saki, bound by mutual hatred and locked in a brutal fight to the death, eventually overcoming their cruel fate and fighting alongside one another to find their father in this high-speed action-adventure hack ‘n slash game series.

Onee Chanbara Origin follows the zombie-hunters, Aya and Saki’s fate into destroying each other and leads into the second of the series, The Onechanbara 2. After the sisters overcome their cruel fate in killing one another, they overcome their rivalry against one another and ally together to depart on their journey of finding their father, Oboro, after he leaves behind a message that names “Eva” as the mastermind behind his wife’s death and all of the chaos that ensued between the two sisters, including the vice that made Saki insane and hell-bent on avenging her mother. Little do they know they are coming even closer to the truth and their true enemy.

Play as a zombie hunter and battle through the stages with high-speed real-time swordplay, completing objectives and tasks while hacking and brawling through hordes of the Undead. Each character’s weapons become progressively covered in blood as players fight off zombies in gruesome detail. Occasionally, players may even transform into demons for short bursts of added power and energy with the downside cost of life energy. Each zombie hunter has her own unique abilities, and skillful play is rewarded for cooler combinations. Players can enjoy the game with full English voice-acting or play through with the original Japanese performances with English subtitles.

Key Features

Cel shaded graphics reminiscent of Japanese animation.

Exhilarating feel from cutting down hordes of zombies with a katana.

Gore effects with decapitations, dismemberments, and even cutting torsos in half.

A novice-friendly system that allows combos to rack up just with simple tap of a button.

A system called the “Cool Combination” system for advanced players. This requires exact timing to connect combos but with an added bonus of massive flexibility. Provides enjoyment for players of all skill levels.

When blood splatters from enemies on to your character, you can change forms into “Berserk” or “Xtatic” to help you defeat powerful enemies like bosses.

Japanese PS2 Budget Games Were an Outlet for Pure Insanity

In Japan during the PS1 era, publisher D3 put out a series of games called the Simple 1500. Each game released was generally unrelated to the others except that all cost 1500 yen (about $15); and their titles always start with the English word “The.” When the PS2 was released, D3 put out a sequel series, the Simple 2000 (with an accompanying 2000 yen price point). There are 123 games in the main PS2 Simple 2000 series (and many more in the various spin-off series)..

Onechanbara Origin - Official Gameplay Trailer. 

Eva (voiced by Yuuko Kaida)

The woman who seemingly orchestrated the Tsubaki murder case, who manipulates Saki with persuasive words and sends her off to fight Aya and Oboro. She captures the hearts of Banefuls and has outstanding ability. Oboro pursues Eva to avenge Tsubaki. And her two daughters after him.

Death Bear

A bear who escaped from the zoo and was bitten by zombies. Originally known as the “easygoing bear,” it was a crowd favorite at a certain circus. However, its is by no means easygoing—it is extremely ferocious, and the intense training from the circus staff only subdued its violent energy. Resurrected as a zombie, its previous memories are gone, and its seems that it is only able to feed off the screams and cheers of humans.

Trance

In the Trance state, not only does Rampage state continue, your attack power further increases. There is also the major benefit of not taking recoil when attacked my an enemy. On the other hand, there is a disadvantage in that your health gradually decreases, but you can convert that disadvantage to an advantage by hitting the enemy to restore health. The saying “offense is the greatest defense” is no greater represented than by this attack-specialized extreme form of battle. Just like Rampage state, the Trance state will expire over time, but you can keep your Trance going longer by continually attacking enemies and absorbing their impurity.
