There’s an oddly in-depth, fighting game-like practice mode, a shop with healing items and equippables, gallery-style unlocks and bonus missions so you can continue playing and developing your characters after the story. The game is divided into chapters, and you can go back and repeat chapters whenever you want. You get extra visual flair for paying attention to what you’re doing, as well as more opportunities to hit the game’s multi-tiered transformation awesomeness, along with other special moves and opportunities to mess people up. You also get bonuses for timing your combos well, which really discourages mindless, fast button-mashing. The series’ most defining mechanic is its blood splatter gimmick, which will dull your blade as it gets covered in goo, forcing you to incorporate a “reload” into your choices. And each time you do that you get to keep going, with the only things stopping you are enemy attacks or the consequences of your own carnage. You can change weapons, and even characters mid-combo.
My favorite part of OneeChanbara Origin’s combat is how easy it is to just keep hacking away at the undead hordes while watching that combo number skyrocket. That said, OneeChanbara Origin also has a really intense parry mechanic, which combined with its light RPG systems and various “super” systems makes for something that feels way more involved than a simple button-masher. This is more like a space somewhere between Musou and Bayonetta, where you can create some rad-looking sequences of moves but never actually have to think about what you’re doing.
That doesn’t mean these games suddenly aren’t crass at every opportunity, but it makes playing the game feel a little more honest.Īs a series, OneeChanbara is a character action game that’s more interested in the spectacle of big combos and big gore over more deliberate mechanics. Notably, between this release and XSEED Games’ previous release OneeChanbara Z2: Chaos, the localization efforts have abandoned the corny “Bikini Zombie Slayer” gimmick and are more comfortable just being honest about the series’ zany anime vibe. Both games were mashed together as one story, and comes with many conventions from the series’ history to date along with a new, more whimsical visual style. OneeChanbara Origin, from D3 Publisher, is a remake of the original OneeChanbara and its first sequel, both of which were part of the Simple series. Also, an idol-slash-screamcore music video that dares you to click that play button: But that’s exactly what happened, and now we’ve reached the point of remakes. One of a multigenerational line of budget projects, likely never intended to be anything like a franchise.

And in some cases, developers used the series as a safe space for experiments. OneeChanbara started as part of the “Simple” series, a long-running collection of super low-budget games meant to offer small, cheap games for budget-conscious gamers.
OneeChanbara is an oddity even in its own space, and perhaps is one of the best examples of what “grindhouse” can mean in gaming context. Only in videogames can a singular zombie story be a $100+ million blockbuster. The weird thing about it is that while videogames are often made in ways that chase film, pulp genre staples are often represented in major, “serious” releases. That’s why it’s so important to find one legitimate platform to guide us in the right direction.Videogame pulp has taken all kinds of forms over the years, from games directly based on classic grindhouse cinema, to bargain bin oddities that feel more unique to the medium. I start this blog to get myself out of 9-5 jobs and help others to avoid online scams as much as I can.
