'ONI: Road to be the Mightiest Oni' is Insanely Charming

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

There's just something about an underdog story that I love when it comes to games. Not only can it give hope to those who are living their own real life underdog story, but it feels like the games make you work harder towards the outcome, thus making it feel all the more rewarding when you do get there. Story is everything, and this type of story never tends to feel too dry.

ONI: Road to be the Mightiest Oni follows Kuuta, a young Oni that has recently lost a fight with a much stronger Oni by the name of Momotaro, where he simultaneously lost everything. Kuuta needs to travel to another island in order to gain strength in order to defeat Momotaro, all with the help of his partner Kazemaru. You start off with a basic weapon and slowly have more abilities, including using Kazemaru to your advantage which was a really neat addition.

The art style of ONI: Road to be the Mightiest Oni is charming to say the least. Even though the actual premise of the game may sound a little bit grim and gory, but it's super cute, and the combat itself is super unique while being easy to understand. I found myself getting lost in the beautiful settings, and admiring the adorable characters, all while grinding slowly and just simply enjoying the game.

With how uncomplicated it is, I believe ONI: Road to be the Mightiest Oni is the perfect starting point for someone wanting to get into an adventure game. It's not filled with gore, and it just seems a lot friendlier to a slightly younger audience than usual. I also do believe that any age could enjoy the intense, yet still heartwarming story, as it is so well written.
